The Adur Centre confirms that it adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679.

You can be assured that we do our best to ensure that your personal information is secured so that your confidentiality is maintained. All of our data is held in accordance with ISO27001, an Information Security standard. As you would expect we adhere to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulations 2018, which gives you control over the information we store about you, and how we contact you in the future.

We will only use your information so we can communicate information to help you participate in a Adur Centre programme, or support those who are participating, and to tell you about activities which may be of interest to you.

This statement explains how we achieve these goals and gives details of our privacy practices, including what information we collect about people through our website (including mobile versions of the site) and across all our other services. It also outlines how the information will be used or disclosed, and rights with respect to our collection and use of personal data.

By using our services and providing us with your personal information you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Statement.

We collect your personal information because it helps us to support our centres, groups and participants undertaking our programmes. Additionally, it allows us to invite you to fundraising initiatives and to benefit from commercial special offers. It also enables us to give you convenient access to our online services and support mechanisms. In addition, personal information helps us to continue to develop and improve the way the Adur Centre operates and supports its participants.

There are two types of information you provide us with when using our services:

1. personal information provided when completing fields on our websites and

2. information collected by us as you interact with our services.

The information is used to provide you with a service that you have requested, to answer an enquiry or as part of our fundraising and commercial programmes. We may ask you to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis in certain areas of our services. This information will be used for the purposes outlined at the time of collection.

We keep records of your activity on our websites to help us understand how you use the system so that we can make it a more effective tool for you. Information on ethnicity and disability maybe collected and used anonymously for statistical purposes by the Adur Centre in order to make sure we are making the Adur Centre accessible to all, and used locally to help meet your personal needs. We also collect the email address of the parents/guardians of our participants to keep them up to date with information to help support their young person complete their programme. This can be opted-out of at any point.

The Adur Centre e-newsletters and other operational emails are essential communications containing vital updates and useful programme information, so all participants, and the adults involved in delivering their programme will receive those appropriate to their roles. Adults can determine the frequency of the message/alert summary emails bu contacting our office.

We may also send you information about the programme and changes to the Adur Centre and other programme-related services from time to time.  

We have a range of promotional opportunities, specially negotiated offers, free prize draws, privilege discounts and information from the Adur Centre and our partners to tell you about. Your personal information will not be passed onto these partners unless you have given us permission to do so.

If you do not want to receive promotional emails from us relating to the above you can use the ‘unsubscribe’ function at the bottom of emails sent by us. We may use some information that we hold about you, for example your age, what programme you are doing, and whether you have opened and clicked through previous emails, to help us send the most relevant information to you.

For fundraising opportunities, we collect personal information when you ask about our activities over the phone, in person, by letter or in email, when you register with us for an event, make a payment, subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise give us your personal information. We use this information to provide you with the information, services or products you have asked for, process donations you have made, inform you of changes to our service and policies, to claim your Gift Aid donation, send you communication that includes information about our campaigns, volunteering and fundraising activities and to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.

Through monitoring your interest in our range of products and services, we will create a profile of your preferences so that any contact we have with you is appropriate, relevant and timely. We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us to do this effectively. This activity is done to understand our audiences, and, for supporters, helps us to limit our communications only to those who are interested in our programmes, and have the means to support us.  

The Adur Centre will not provide any information collected that personally identifies you to any other company or organisation, unless it is required to do so by law, Court Order by other Government or law enforcement authorities or as described in this Privacy Statement.

Data collected on our websites is shared with the relevant Licensed Organisation and Adur Centre office, as a necessity to enable people to complete their specific programme and achieve their aims and for Adur Centre staff to manage programmes effectively. Participant personal information is never shared with other participants.

We may pass your information to our trusted third-party service providers and other associated organisations who are authorised to work on our behalf, for example to process payments and send you mailings.
