4. UKLR is owned and managed by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (‘CIPR’).
5. The CIPR advances professionalism in public relations by making its members accountable to their employers and the public through a code of conduct and searchable public register, setting standards through training, qualifications, awards and the production of best practice and skills guidance, facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and awarding Chartered Public Relations Practitioner status (Chart.PR).

What are the legal grounds for processing your personal data?

Sharing your personal data
11. Aside from making the register publicly available, all registrations are entered into the Preside content management system.
