If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email us at lucy@artsforlifeproject.org

This policy covers our website only. If you or your young person take part in our services, we will give you separate information about how we look after that data.

Information we collect through this website

When you use our contact form, we collect your first name, last name, email address, phone number, and your message.

We use this only to reply to your enquiry and, if you ask us to, to help you with a referral, volunteering, a partnership or support for your family. We will not add you to a mailing list or use your details for marketing unless you ask us to.

Our legal reason for using this information is that it is in our legitimate interests to respond to people who contact us.

When you browse our website, some basic technical information is collected automatically through cookies. See the cookies section below.

Young people

If you are under 13, please ask a parent or carer to contact us for you, or to help you fill in the form.

Who can see your information

Only AFLP staff who need to respond to your enquiry.

Our website is hosted by Wix, which stores contact form messages on our behalf. Wix is only allowed to use this information to provide its service to us.

We never sell your information, and we will not share it with anyone else unless the law requires us to, or we need to in order to keep a child or adult safe, in line with our Safeguarding Policy.

How long we keep it

We keep contact form enquiries for up to [12 months] after our last contact with you, then delete them. If your enquiry leads to you or your young person using our services, we will explain how we look after that information separately.

Your rights

You have the right to:

ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
ask us to correct anything that is wrong
ask us to delete your information
object to us using your information

To do any of these, email us at lucy@artsforlifeproject.org. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please talk to us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.
