Privacy policy
LimitationThis policy is limited to the information Management Centre Europe (MCE) collects from website users about themselves and others via the www.mce.be website. Although the website contains links to other websites, these are not part of this privacy policy. We recommend to familiarise yourself with the privacy policies these organisations publish on their websites.
Use of information
Whether you register for one of our open enrolment programmes, request access to MCE's online Knowledge Network or ask to be added to our mailing list, MCE will always ask you to complete a profile of yourself on the MCE website.
MCE uses the contact details and interest areas you disclose on your profile to communicate with you as follows:
- materials and communications related to your programme attendance (e.g. pre-course work, evaluations) and Knowledge Network updates (articles, reports, surveys, networking events) are send to you via email
- postal address details will be used to keep you informed of MCE's Open enrolment programmes and to send invoices for the programmes you attended.
Knowledge Network access
Once you attend your training programme you are considered an MCE Alumnus. This means you will automatically be registered as a user in MCE's Knowledge Network, giving you free lifelong access to MCE's knowledge resources and networking opportunities. You will automatically receive an email with your username and password to access the Knowledge Network.
If you are an employee from a Corporate Member company (and you have not attended an MCE programme before) you can request free-of-charge and unlimited access to the Knowledge Network by registering as a new user. Check our Corporate Member directory to see if your company is registered as a Corporate Member. You will be asked to complete your profile when you first enter the Knowledge Network website.
If you are not an Alumnus or employee from a Corporate Member company you can still create your profile. You will receive Knowledge Network email updates and programme information by post within the areas of your interest. You will, however, not have unlimited access to the Knowledge Network website.
Changing your profile/Unsubscribing
All information recorded on your profile is stored on the MCE database. Your profile is available for updates 24/7 on our website. If you wish to be permanently removed from our database, please send an email to: remove@mce.be.
Confidentiality of contact information
Only MCE can send messages to the email distribution list. MCE will never pass on your email address to third parties.
MCE occasionally grants the right to suppliers of related business services and products to use the MCE distribution list to inform you via postal mail. You may opt-in/opt-out for this service on Your profile.
