Privacy & Data Protection
In order to do what we do we need to collect some personal information from those attending our programmes, as well as from our supporters and those interested in find out more about us. This section explains how we use that information. At no time will we ever divulge the infirmation we receive to any third party, unless required to do so by law.
What information do you collect?
The exact information we collect from you will depend on the nature of our relationship. When you register to attend one of our programmes, for instance, we will need to know not only how to contact you, but also such things as your age, sex and current state of health. If you are one of our financial supporters, then our needs will be more limited. For those wanting to receive news from us, then we can get by with just your name and email address! Whatever the particular situation we'll always make it clear at the time what those needs are.
