Holding and storing your information

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so, for example, to provide you with a service you have requested, provide access to benefits. All information is stored on the secure servers of our file storage provider.  From our understanding of the GDPR regulations the data we hold would be a 'low risk' in relation to our contacts.

When you register on our website, we may ask you to choose a password which enables you to access the online content. You are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share this password with anyone. 

Inspiring Tails will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that all personally identifiable information relating to Inspiring Tails and received via the Internet or stored within Inspiring Tails systems is secure against unauthorised access.  However, whilst we have used our best efforts to ensure the security of your data, please be aware that we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet.

By giving us your personal information, you consent to us collecting and using that information in the ways that we describe in this privacy policy and / or that you have specifically consented to.

This is in line with the requirements of the relevant legislation. You can alter your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time as described.

Whilst we must gain your consent to send emails to you if we have had no prior interaction with you, as required by Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we can rely on Legitimate Interests to process personal data of contacts with whom there exists a relationship without requiring further consent so long as there is a balanced legitimate interest.
