Privacy Statement

​

At Inspire and Achieve Foundation (IAF), we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all website visitors, and of course, our customers’/service users.

 

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

 

Depending upon the circumstances, Inspire and Achieve Foundation will act as either a:

“data controller” (e.g. where you have provided your information directly to us such as a CV or a referral etc.)

“data processor” (e.g. where your information has been provided to us by you or your employer as a Customer of Inspire and Achieve Foundation).

 

In each case, Inspire and Achieve Foundation will process (collect, store and use) personal data in a manner compatible with our obligations under the DPA and EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

We will endeavour to keep the personal data accurate, up-to-date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or complying with any of our legal or contractual obligations, including those relating to our statutory and regulatory obligations and our financial, business or tax affairs.

 

Types of personal data that we collect

 

We might collect your name, title, where you work, phone number, email address, or mailing address. We may also be provided with other types of personal data under our contracts with our Customers/Service Users.

 

How we use the information collected

 

Information collected or provided will enable us to deliver our programmes, services, operate our business and of course, communicate with you.

This may include:

• checking your identity and validating that you are entitled to use our programmes and services

• providing a programme or service to you identifying persons who have expressed an interest in our programmes and services and tailoring our communications to you.

 

Operations

 

Personal data provided by Inspire and Achieve Foundation Customers/Service Users enables us to comply with the customer/service users contract. All data is processed solely in accordance with the directions provided by the applicable customer/service users.

 

In the course of providing a personal safety service (for instance, in an emergency situation) we may need to pass your personal data onto contracted third-party service providers as well as to the Emergency Services such as a Safeguard disclosure. Any third parties that we share personal data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only to fulfil the service required at the time. When they no longer need your data to fulfil this service, we require them to dispose of the details in-line with the procedures outlined in our third-party supplier agreements.

If you choose to withhold any personal data requested by us, it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain content or for us to respond to your query.

 

We use the personal data collected in this way for various reasons:

• to tell you about the information you’ve asked us to tell you about
