Privacy Policy

​

At SOAR Community we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients and visitors to our website.

In this Privacy Policy we’ve provided detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

 

1          ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

​

Working with clients: all the clients we work with are asked to sign a Data Consent Form which sets out in detail the personal data we collect and who it could be shared with. The content of the form is discussed with the client to ensure that they fully understand what they are signing and can therefore give their informed consent.

Working with Partners: for people or organisations who express an interest in working with us, or finding out more about our work, we will record the name of the person and/or organisation, telephone number and email address of the individual providing that data.

We want to make sure that your information is accurate and up to date and are very happy to remove or amend any information that you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to request that we either delete or restrict our processing of your personal data. We will advise on the process on any such requests. You also have the right to lodge any complaint about the way in which we handle your data with the Office of the Information Commissioner.

Please contact our Data Protection Officer: dataprotection@soarcommunity.org.uk.  if you require any further information

​

Google analytics\

When someone visits www.soarcommunity.org.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.

We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone.

We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

 

Newsletter sign-up

​

As part of the registration process for our monthly e-newsletter, we collect personal information.

We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about things you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied.

  • We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

  • We use a third-party provider, Mailchimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter.

  • For more information, please see Mailchimp’s privacy notice.

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing our data protection officer
