Purpose and legal basis

When you give us your personal data we will use it in the following ways:

  • to fulfill our contract with you as a user of our services and to keep you safe
  • to send you information you have consented to receive
  • to fulfill our legitimate organisational interests

And in particular to send you:

  • the occasional newsletters you have told us you want to receive
  • information about Josephine and Jack courses and from other organisations who we think we will be of interest.
  • for internal record keeping and research purposes and to improve our services

JJP will not use your data for automatic profiling; nor will we share your details with any third party, including internationally, without your explicit consent, and then only in line with our safeguarding policy.

JJP does not hold any special categories of data for our subscribers, or for any attendees at courses run by us, or that we are hosting with partners.

Data Retention Policy

We hold data only for as long as it is necessary and useful. We review all of the information we hold every year and destroy anything that is no longer needed or is not up to date.

We always destroy data if you have withdrawn your permission for us to hold it.

If we need to keep data indefinitely, this will be anonymized so that you cannot be identified.

We keep most data for a maximum of 7 years.

Special Categories

Some categories of data have stricter rules about how we can collect and store them. These are:

  • Racial and ethnic origin
  • Political opinions
  • Religious or philosophical
    beliefs
  • Trade Union membership
  • Data on health, sex life or
    sexual orientation
  • Genetic or biometric data

Occasionally, JJP may collect this data to monitor and research how inclusive our work is. We will only collect this data with your explicit consent, and it will always be anonymous.
