Sainsbury’s Active Kids for All Inclusive PE Training Privacy Policy
Who we are
We at Activity Alliance want to make sure all the personal details we hold about you are safe and secure, so we have put together this note to tell all anyone who is participating, peer mentoring or volunteering in one of our events or programmes how we make sure we just do that and what to do in case you have any questions for us or want to see what information we have.
We are, what is known as, a data controller. This means we have control over how your details are used and who we pass them to. This document explains when, why and how we collect personal information from you.
Where we have told you that we are acting as a ‘joint controller’ with a third party such as local partner for a particular event, any reference to ‘we’ in this notice will include a reference to them as a joint data controller, but Activity Alliance will remain the key contact.
Sometimes organisations need to appoint an individual called a Data Protection Officer to make sure that we are being very careful with your information.
Activity Alliance doesn’t need to have Data Protection Officer, but we have decided to put together a team of people instead to make sure your details are safe. They can be contacted at [email protected] in case you have any questions.
