This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains (i) how we process the personal information we collect about you; (ii) how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information; and (iii) what procedures we have in place to safeguard your privacy.
  2. This Policy should be read in conjunction with our applicable terms and conditions. If you do not agree with this Policy, you must not use this website or submit information to us through or in connection with this website.
  3. If you have any questions about this Policy or would like any further information please write to The Chamwell Centre Charity, The Milestone School, Longford Lane, Gloucester GL2 9EUor email us at admin@chamwellcentre.org.uk.

The information we collect and how we use it.

  2. We will only use, store or otherwise process any of your Personal Data in accordance with the terms of this Policy, including but not limited to, your title, name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, IP address, and any other Personal Data collected to the extent reasonably necessary to provide the offerings that are available to you by us or, if you are donor, in connection with a grant or donation made by you.
  3. You may give us information about yourself when you complete our written forms either through the website (for example through the ‘contact us’ form on our website) or in person when you visit the Chamwell Centre. This may include your name, e-mail address, address, phone number, company, and any other information that you may choose to provide us.
  4. Personal data may also have been provided by a third party, for example a healthcare professional you or your child has seen. This may include name, e-mail address, address, phone number as well as health data (please see section on special category data, for our processing of sensitive personal data). We process this data in order to provide the services the Chamwell Centre was designed for.
  5. If you are an employee, volunteer or trustee of the Chamwell Centre, we will use, store or otherwise process your Personal Data in order to manage our relationship with you. This may include name, e-mail address, address, phone number, and pay-roll information.
