    3. Emails and mailing lists 

    When you contact us using a contact form on our website we use a third-party provider, Mailchimp to store the data listed below. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about the news you’ve asked us to tell you about and to check our records are right.  We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. 

    Mailchimp records the email address, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and timestamp associated with every subscriber or contact who completes and submits the form. When sending newsletters we use Mailchimp to gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry-standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter.   

    Mailchimp complies with UK GDPR as it continues to protect EEA, UK, and Swiss data in compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles to which it has certified compliance. In addition, Mailchimp contractually commits to transfer and process all of its users’ Swiss, EU, and UK data in compliance with the EU’s Standard Contractual Clauses, which remain a valid data export mechanism and which automatically apply in accordance with Mailchimp’s Data Processing Addendum.

    If you think we need to update any of the information we hold, please let us know by contacting us using the details at the end of this document. 

    5. Data retention 

    We review the personal data (and the categories of personal data) we’re holding on a regular basis to ensure the data we’re holding is still relevant to our organisation and is accurate. If we discover that data we’re holding is no longer necessary or accurate, we’ll take reasonable steps to correct or delete the data. 

    When you submit and consent to your data being used in the ways described above we’ll ensure your data kept only for as long as necessary. When a newsletter is sent to your email address you can easily unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of every newsletter. We’ll take steps to keep the information safe while we hold it and when we don’t need it anymore, we’ll destroy it safely. 

    6. Other websites 

    Our website may contain links and references to other third party websites and applications. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites. 

    We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of sites that are not operated by us, even if you access them via our website. We recommend that you check the policy of each site you visit and contact its owner or operator if you have any concerns or questions.

    • Consent: you have given us clear consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose 

    We gain consent from individuals via the newsletter submission form which forms our compliance with Article 6 of the UK GDPR. This processing is necessary to keep these individuals informed of our news which they have expressed an interest in and consented to receive
