This website is run by the Union Haddiema Maghqudin, a registered trade union with its headquarters in Floriana, Malta. We regard your privacy as important and are hereby informing you about the information we gather when you visit www.uhm.org.mt and its sub-pages, and how that information is used.
1. Data Collected
As in most web sites, this site automatically logs certain information about every request made of it. This information logged is: (a) the name or network address of the computer making the request (note that under some, but not all, circumstances it may be possible to infer from this the identity of the person making the request. Further note that the data recorded may be that of a web proxy rather than that of the originating client), (b) the date and time of connection, (c) the HTTP request, which contains the identification of the document requested and (d) the status code of the request. This information is used for system administration, for bug tracking, and for producing usage statistics. The logged information may be kept indefinitely and disclosed to external third parties for analysis and/or interpretation.
2. Data Requested
When we need information that personally identifies you (personal data) or allows us to contact you this will be clear and self-evident from the site itself. Generally, this information is needed when you are requesting particular information, ordering e-mail newsletters/press releases, signing up for a service, or when purchasing a product and/or making personal financial transactions. Personal information collected by UHM is limited to e-mail address, postal address, employment type/position, and phone/fax/mobile number.
3. Data Disclosed
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, UHM will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions which will be clearly listed on the page from which you are submitting the information. We use the personal data which you have made available to us exclusively for technical administration of the web pages and to fulfil your wishes and requests. UHM does not share, sell, transfer or otherwise disseminate your personal data to third parties, unless this is required for the purpose of the contract or unless you have given express consent to do so.
4. Use of Cookies
Cookies are strings of text containing information about you, which can be stored in your computer and sent to other web sites. UHM does not use cookies and will not collect any information about you when you visit our web site, except that discussed in items 1 and 2 above.
5. Security
UHM takes all the necessary technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from being lost or misused. For instance, your data is saved in a secure operating environment which is not accessible to the public and backed up on a regular basis on and off site. In certain cases, your personal data is encrypted by Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL) during transmission. This means that an approved encryption procedure is used for communication between your computer and UHM servers. When this level of security is used it will be apparent from an SSL certificate available on the page transferring data to our servers.
6. Access to information
You have a right of access to your own personal data held by UHM. Access requests must be made in writing, with enough information to find the data requested and proof that you are the data subject. As a result, UHM will need two proofs of identity like a copy of your birth certificate, passport, ID or a driving license. You can request such access by writing to our registered address or via email on info@uhm.org.mt.
Upon receipt of our information you may wish to demand rectification or amendments to any fields of data which are not correct.
7. Accuracy of Data
Due to its’ obligations under the Data Protection Act, UHM strives to keep your personal data accurate and up to date. The best way to be sure is to tell us about any relevant changes in your circumstances. If you think that your personal data is inaccurate, you can write explaining why and asking us to correct it.
