Privacy Notice:
For all the business people we deal with, we collect the information you would normally find on a business card:
Name / Organisation / Organisation address / Job role / Telephone number(s) / Email address / website / social media.
In addition, very useful information to us might include your areas of interest, including your business sector or curriculum subject. This enables us to match you to the most appropriate opportunities to inspire and support young people.
As the majority of our funding comes from contracts, occasionally we are asked by the contractor to gather other information about people. If we are offering you an opportunity to get involved with a contract that requests more data, we will let you know exactly what we are asked to collect, how we will handle and store the data
Storage and retention of Information
We store all of the personal information we gather on an online database, housed on a secure server.
At any time you can ask us to return or remove all of the data we hold on you. Please do this in writing and present your ID documents to our Chesterfield Office. We will do this within 30 days of seeing your identification.
We will delete all personal data that has not been updated in the previous 3 full years every August, which is when our activities allow us time to do this effectively.
Some contracts we work on however, ask that we store the information so that it can be audited for a significant length of time. This can be 7 or even 10 years. We will only keep your data if required to by our funders.
How to access the personal information we hold on you
You can make a request at any time for us to gather the personal information we hold on you. To do this, we will ask you to bring two things to our Chesterfield Office:
Your passport or UK driving licence (or suitable ID documents from another country)
An official proof of address sent through the post during the last 3 months
We will pull together all of the data we hold within a period of 30 days from the date we receive the identification documents.
Sharing of data
When you get involved in an activity we share your basic data – name, school, year group, contact details (sometimes) and possibly a little about your interests with the people and organisations involved. This may be done on an Excel spreadsheet. If it is sent by email, our staff are instructed to encrypt the file before sending it.
We would never sell or transfer your information to 3rd parties.
