GDPR

For users in the European Union, we adhere to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the council of 27 April 2016, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). For users in the United Kingdom, we adhere to GDPR as enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018.

We have not appointed a Data Protection officer as we do not fall within the categories of controllers and processors required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 of the GDPR.

Consent

By using our Site and services users agree that they consent to:

1. The conditions set out in this Privacy Policy

When the legal basis for us processing your personal data is that you have provided your consent in that processing, you may withdraw your consent any time. If you withdraw your consent, it will not make processing which we completed before you withdrew your consent unlawful.

You can withdraw your consent by contacting us at info@behaviourchange.org.uk

Legal Basis for processing

We collect and process personal data about users in the EU only when we have a legal basis for doing so under Article 6 of the GDPR.

We rely on the following legal basis to collect and process the personal data of users in the EU:

1. Users have provided consent to the processing of their data for one or more specific purposes.

How we use personal data

Data collected on our site, given to us directly by you, or sent to us by a third party (with your permission) will only be used for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or indicated on the relent pages of our Site. We will not use your data beyond what we disclose in this Privacy Policy.

Who we share personal data with

Employees We may disclose user data to any member of our organisation who reasonably needs to access user data to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

How long we store personal data

User data will be stored for as long as we have a legitimate business purpose

How we protect your personal data

In order to protect your security, we use the strongest available browser encryption and store all of our data on servers in secure facilities. All data is only accessible by our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and a breach of this agreement would result in the employee’s termination.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

1. Right to be informed;
2. Right of access;
3. Right to rectification;
4. Right to erasure;

If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 years of age, the personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 16 years of age has provided us with personal data their parent or guardian may contact our privacy officer.
