1. Information we collect and use
When you apply to join MARS or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, subteam choices and year of study. We use student applicant information to verify enrolment and share membership records with the university as required for student society registration and affiliation. All other data is collected solely to evaluate applications and facilitate onboarding.
2. Newsletter frequency
If you opt in to our updates, we will send newsletter communications (mission progress, technical breakthroughs, upcoming society events, and general space news) at most once a month. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of our emails.
3. Data protection and sharing
We value your trust. We implement security measures to protect your personal information. MARS will never sell, lease, or share your contact details or personal data with any third-party marketing companies, advertisers, or unaffiliated groups.
4. Traffic tracking and cookies
We anonymously track website traffic to measure engagement and improve the website. This tracking is fully anonymised: IP addresses are hashed immediately, no visitor profiles are created, and we do not collect or store any personal details. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies. The only storage technologies used are necessary technical mechanisms for Turnstile spam verification.
