At STRIDE, your privacy matters. This privacy policy explains what personal information may be collected when you use the STRIDE website, how it is used and the choices you have about your information.
Who is responsible for your information?
STRIDE is responsible for the personal information collected through this website.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your information is used, you can contact:
STRIDE
Email: hello@stride-education.org
What information do we collect?
We only collect personal information that is needed to provide the services and communications you choose to use.
This may include:
- your name;
- your email address;
- information you provide when contacting STRIDE through the website;
- your newsletter subscription preferences; and
- technical information collected when you use the website, such as information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
You do not have to provide personal information simply to browse the STRIDE website.
Mailing list and email updates
If you choose to subscribe to STRIDE, your email address will be used to send you occasional STRIDE stories, practical ideas, challenges and community updates.
We use your consent as the lawful basis for sending these emails.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option included in emails from STRIDE. Withdrawing your consent will not affect anything that happened before you unsubscribed.
We will not add you to the STRIDE mailing list simply because you have contacted us through the website.
The ICO requires electronic marketing to individuals to have the appropriate consent unless a specific exception applies, and recipients must have a straightforward way to unsubscribe.
Contacting STRIDE
If you use the website contact form or contact STRIDE by email, we may collect your name, email address and any information you choose to include in your message.
This information will be used to respond to your enquiry and, where necessary, to manage any subsequent communication with you.
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, we process this information because it is necessary to respond to a request you have made or because STRIDE has a legitimate interest in responding to and managing enquiries.
Contacting STRIDE does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.
How your information is stored and shared
STRIDE does not sell your personal information.
The STRIDE website is hosted using WordPress.com and uses WordPress/Jetpack services, including its newsletter and subscription features. This means personal information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website and deliver these services.
Information will only be shared where necessary to operate STRIDE, provide a service you have requested, comply with a legal obligation, or where you have given permission.
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards required by data protection law will be relied upon.
How long we keep your information
Personal information will only be kept for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected.
If you subscribe to STRIDE emails, your subscription information will normally be retained while you remain subscribed.
Information provided through an enquiry will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and any related follow-up, unless there is a legal or legitimate reason to retain it for longer.
Cookies
The STRIDE website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work correctly and to understand how it is used.
Some cookies are necessary for the operation of the website. Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary and consent is required, they will only be used after you have been given an appropriate choice.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Your rights
UK data protection law gives you rights over your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these can include the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information held about you;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- ask for your information to be deleted in certain circumstances;
- ask for the use of your information to be restricted;
- object to certain uses of your information;
- request transfer of certain information; and
- withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, contact hello@stride-education.org.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your personal information has been handled.
