We collect your personal data in the following ways:

 

Data you give to us:

  • Self-referral form; and
  • Participation entry form; and
  • Newsletter subscription

 

Data we collect when you use our services:

  • Service assessment information;
  • Service user progress information;
  • Service user exit forms;
  • Surveys;
  • CCTV;
  • Attendance sheets;
  • Photographs;
  • Schedules of work;
  • Invoices (room bookings);
  • Card payments; and
  • Accident/Incident records.

 

 

Data we are provided with:

Referrals from a variety of organisations for current and potential service users such as, but not limited to:

  • Police;
  • Individuals;
  • NHS; and
  • Local Authorities.

We will collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

 

  • Identity data – Title, name, date of birth, gender, national insurance number, reference number, criminal conviction data, image data, registration number.
  • Contact data – Current address, email address, telephone number(s).
  • Emergency contact data  – Title, name, relationship to service user, current address, telephone number(s).
  • Transaction data – Details of the services you are paying for, including date and time of paying in relation to that transaction. We also process your card number, expiry date and CVV number.
  • Technical Data – Visual footage collected via CCTV.

 

We collect special categories of personal data about you, and these will be processed under our
requirement for the management of health or social care systems. This includes details about race
or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation and information about
your health.

We also collect information relating to criminal convictions that are currently being served or are
outstanding and we have official authority to do this.

We are only allowed to use personal data about you if we have a legal basis to do so, and we are required to tell you what that legal basis is. We have set out in the table below: the personal data which we collect from you, how we use it, and the legal ground on which we rely when we use the
personal data.

To maximise the protection of your identity, for certain processing activities, Fresh Futures will
pseudonymise your personal information. Pseudonymisation is a technique to remove information that directly identifies an individual and replaces it with a reference point i.e., replacing a service
user’s name with an identification number.

In some circumstances we can use your personal data if it is in our legitimate interest to do so,
provided that we have told you what that legitimate interest is. A legitimate interest is when we
have a business or commercial reason to use your information which, when balanced against
your rights, is justifiable. If we are relying on our legitimate interests, we have set that out in the
table below. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by
the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

To find out more about how your personal information is protected when it is transferred outside
the EEA, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details above. Before sharing any
information with a third party, we will ensure that there is a data processing agreement in place
requiring that the third party protects personal data according to the UK General Data Protection
Regulation (UK GDPR).

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is collected. When assessing what retention period is appropriate for your personal data, we take
into consideration:

 

  • Any statutory or legal obligations;
  • The requirements of the business;
  • The purposes for which we originally collected the personal data;
  • The lawful grounds on which we based our processing;
  • The types of personal data we have collected;
  • The amount and categories of your personal data; and
  • Whether the purpose of the processing could reasonably be fulfilled by other means.

 

After such time, we will securely delete or destroy your personal data. In most instances the personal data processed by us this will be securely destroyed 6 years from when you cease to be a service user.

For email newsletters, we will retain email addresses for 2 years. After that, we will seek to reobtain consent from individuals that have been inactive. If they do not re-consent, they will be securely deleted from the marketing database.
