Data policy

Off The Record will be pleased to bring you news of events, services and support which are either created by us or which we think will be of relevance and interest to young people and youth service providers.  There will be no more than one communication per month to subscribers.

Our communications will be topical to young people and support Off The Record's vision:

• To provide a broad range of accessible, responsive, imaginative, flexible, inclusive and effective support services for vulnerable children, young people and young adults from all communities
• To identify and represent the needs of children, young people and young adults and to encourage service providers and policy makers to take account of those needs

The Data Protection Act 1998 governs Off The Record's processing of personal data. The Act requires that any personal data held should be:

• processed fairly and lawfully;
• obtained and processed only for specified and lawful purposes;
• adequate, relevant and not excessive;
• accurate and kept up to date;
• held securely and for no longer than is necessary; and
• not transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area unless there is an adequate level of data protection in that country.

In adherence with The Act, Off The Record will process personal data as follows:

• The information you give us is only used for the purpose for which it was requested
• The data is kept in a secure database
• Off The Record will not share this information with others unless we ask you and you expressly give permission, or under special circumstances, such as when Off The Record believes in good faith that the law requires it
• You can unsubscribe at any time by emailing info@offtherecordcroydon.org following the link which is shown at the bottom of the newsletter and in your confirmation email. Your details will be automatically removed from our database
