How do we use your information?
We will only use your information with your consent, for the reasons it was obtained and in ways you would expect. That means we only collect information you give us or have agreed we can have. For example, we may use your information as explained in the following scenario:
If we have an ongoing relationship with you, we will use your name and email address to send you information on GLA, which may include information on the GLP, Workshops and other forthcoming events, feedback surveys and general updates on our work.
Use of our website
When you visit our website we will receive and store certain information on you such as your internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the internet, details on your browser type and version, your operating system and platform, the full URL clickstream through, to and from our site (including date and time), a unique reference number linked to the data you enter on our system, cookie number and activity on our website including the pages you visited, searches you made and documents you downloaded. We do this to ensure we are monitoring and improving our website and service offerings and to ensure the efficient operation of our website.
How long do we store your information?
We regularly review our retention periods for personal information. We are legally required to hold certain types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example, basic details of payment received). However, we will only hold your information for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract that you have entered into with us.
Will your information be passed on?
We will not rent or sell your information to any third parties, and will not release your information to any third parties for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless we are required to do so by law or unless you have asked us to do so.
From time to time we may share your information with third parties who are working on our behalf. However, we only do so where it is necessary for completing tasks or services to you and we only provide them with the minimum amount of your information necessary. We also ensure that such third parties are under a contract with us that requires them not to use your information for their own direct marketing and ensuring that they keep your information secure.
Below is an example of where we may provide your information to a third party:
We sometimes use third party providers to send e-newsletters, communications and surveys on our behalf. As part of this, we gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our communications and services.
We will also use your information wherever necessary to comply with any of our legal obligations, or in order to enforce or apply any other agreements you may have with us; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of GLA, our customers, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
If you complete a GLP Profile and give us permission, we may use, with full anonymity, your score or sentence stems for the purposes of research or to improve our processes. We may also share this anonymised data with the company that asked you to complete the profile.
How do we protect your information?
The security of your data is paramount to us and we strive to ensure we have robust systems in place to protect your data. However, when you send certain non-sensitive data (such as your email address) to us, it is transmitted over the internet and unfortunately we cannot guarantee its security, and you do so at your own risk. Once this information is received by us, we take all steps reasonably necessary to protect it and ensure it is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.
What are your rights in relation to the information we hold on me?
