Data protection principles
 

In collecting and processing your personal information, we will comply with the data protection law in force at the time. This requires that the personal information we hold about you must be:
 

1. Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.

2. Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.

3. Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.

4. Accurate and kept up to date.

5. Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.

6. Kept securely.

Collection and use of your information

 

We collect personal information about our contractors, volunteers and members through the application and recruitment processes and via the registration process for our services (rides, lessons etc). We may collect additional personal information in the course of job-related or service provision activities throughout the period of you working/volunteering/accessing services with us.
 

 This is done for the following purposes:
 

• To administer the services and activities in which you participate or may wish to participate in. This may require our trained contractors and volunteers to have access to this information. Both volunteers and contractors abide by our Data Protection Policy and Procedure and understand the importance of data security. 

• If you have used our services, we may on occasion share basic demographic and service information with our funders and partners to demonstrate the impact of the funding they have provided. The information we share will not include your name or your contact details, unless you give us your consent to do so for a specific purpose, such as sharing your story. When we do share this information, we do so under the lawful basis of legitimate interest.

• We WILL NOT use your data for marketing purposes or pass it onto any other additional party

 

If you fail to provide certain information when requested we may not be able to provide access for you to our activities or services as it may compromise our ability to ensure the health and safety of our volunteers and other participants.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
 

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
 

Data security
 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally
 

Data retention
 

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
 

Changes to your personal information
 

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
 

Your rights in connection with personal information
 

Under certain circumstances, the law grants you specific rights. These are summarised below. Please note that your rights may be limited and subject to restrictions in certain situations:
 

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

• In any circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
   

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party or withdraw consent, please contact, in writing, the Data Protection Officer: Emma Pajarillaga, Cycle Sisters, 9 Frinton Drive, Woodford Green, IG9 8ND or email salam@cyclesisters.org.uk.
 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
