Maintaining and administering our website
Where you submit personal information for publication on our website, we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.
We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
Legal basis for using your information
We may process your personal details, where we have your consent (which may be withdrawn at any time), a legal need or contract, or a ‘legitimate interest’ for different purposes.
Disclosures
We may disclose information about you to any of our business partners, employees, officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.
In addition, we may disclose information about you:

To the extent that we are required to do so by law

Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
Security of your personal data
We will take appropriate technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information.
We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure password-protected and firewall-protected servers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information using the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information sent to us this way, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site.
Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We use “session” cookies on our website. We use these cookies to keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third-party cookies. For example, in Google Chrome you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Settings”, “Privacy and Security”, “Cookies and other site data”, and selecting “Block third-party cookies” or “Block all cookies”. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Third-party cookies
We sometimes embed video content and photos from websites such as YouTube. Pages with this embedded content may present cookies from these websites. You should check the relevant third-party website for more information about these cookies.
Third-party websites
Our website contains links to other websites and when you access any other website through a link on our website (including social media sites) you should understand that it is independent from us and that we have no control over that website or the way your personal information is collected through those websites.
This privacy policy does not cover the information practices of those websites.
Those websites may have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to look at those policies or contact the website operators directly to understand how your personal information is used.
Policy amendments
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
Your rights
Under GDPR you have the right to request copies of your personal information that we hold and control, along with details of how we use that information; we refer to this as a ‘Subject Access Request’.
If you think any of the personal information, we hold about you is inaccurate, you can request for this to be corrected.
You also have a right, in certain circumstances, to require us to stop processing your personal information.
In relation to all of these rights, please contact us via email at info@reconnectyouth.org.uk.
In certain circumstances (for example where required or permitted by law) we may not be able to provide you with access to some of your personal information, but where appropriate we will notify you of the reasons for this.
