We will not share your contact details with any other organisation unless we have your permission, or under special circumstances, such as when we believe the law requires it.

Personal information
Examples of personal information include your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
Use of Data
We will generally only use your information for the purposes for which you have supplied it to us. If you have indicated that you are interested in receiving information about our activities via newsletters and/or event reminders, we may occasionally send you additional information that we feel may be of interest to you, such as details of new initiatives.
As stated above we will not share your contact details with any other organisation unless we have your permission, or under special circumstances, such as when we believe the law requires it.
Updating or deleting your data/unsubscribing
You can ask us to update or delete any personal information that we hold and/or stop sending you any type of information at any time by emailing us.
Accuracy
The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change email address or if any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us.
Any information that we hold that is incorrect will be amended or deleted promptly.
Access to your personal information
You have the right to request details of personal information that we hold about you from us. You can make such a request by email. We will take steps to confirm your identity before releasing any information to you. We have the right to charge a small fee for complying with your request, although we do not generally do so. We will respond to your request within 10 working days, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Security
We place great importance on the security of your personal information and we always try to take appropriate precautions to protect it.
All electronic information is stored securely in password protected programmes or spreadsheets/documents on computers and phones that are password protected. All paper-based information is stored securely in locked filing cabinets.
All volunteers who handle personal information are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
We cannot, however, be responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information whether we hold it on or off-line.
We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any messages transmitted between you and us via email as these are potentially accessible by third parties. We will not be liable to you or anyone else for any loss in connection with any email message sent by you to us or by us to you.
Minors
The protection of children is very important to us. If you are under 18, please do not provide us with any personal information.
Children should always ask a parent or guardian for permission before sending personal information to anyone on or offline.

We may make changes to these terms and conditions from time to time. We will notify you of these changes.
