Privacy Notice

Find out how we look after your data

At Team Oxford we want to ensure that you are kept fully aware of how any data that you share with us will be looked after and used.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we have implemented this privacy notice to keep you fully informed about the types of data we process about you. We also include within this notice the reasons for processing your data, the lawful basis that permits us to process it, how long we keep your data for and your rights regarding your data.

We take protecting your personal data very seriously and will ensure that any data you decide to share with us will be processed in a fair, open and transparent manner.

A)    DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

Under GDPR, all personal data obtained and held by us must be processed according to a set of core principles. In accordance with these principles, we will ensure that:

a)    processing is fair, lawful and transparent

b)   data is collected for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes

c)    data collected is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of processing

d)   data is kept accurate and up to date. Data which is found to be inaccurate will be rectified or erased without delay

e)   data is not kept for longer than is necessary for its given purpose

f)     data is processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage by using appropriate technical or organisation measures

g)    we comply with the relevant GDPR procedures for international transferring of personal data

B)    WHAT TYPES OF DATA DO WE HOLD?

Personal information

The types of personal information data that you share with us include details such as your name, address, email address, phone numbers and emergency contact details (if you have entered a Team Oxford event). You will have given us this information when signing up for a Team Oxford event or when enquiring for more information about our professional services.

How do we use this information?

To provide the services that you have requested; to keep you updated about relevant aspects of Team Oxford’s work (unless you have told us you do not want to be contacted) and to keep a record of the support that you have given to Team Oxford.

How do we use this information?

We will only use this information to provide you with information about volunteering opportunities and events related to Team Oxford. If we are working jointly with other agencies to deliver this, we may need to share your data with them in order to fulfil our obligations to you. If this is the case, we will ensure that this is clearly communicated to you, and you will have the right to ask for your data not to be shared. The only exception to this would be when we have concerns about your safety and the safety of others, in which case we would need to share necessary sensitive personal data without your permission in accordance with Aspire Oxford’s safeguarding policy.

At Team Oxford, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to be able to share our clients’ experiences and journeys both during your time with us and after you have left.

Team Oxford may ask to feature your story and/or photograph for the purpose of demonstrating out work. This could be used in our annual social impact report, our newsletters, on our website or on social media. We will only use your story and/or photograph if you have given us your consent to do so, and you can change your mind at any time.

C)    LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

The law on data protection allows us to process your data for certain reasons only and it’s important that we are clear about the legal basis for using your information.

We are able to process your data in order to comply with a legal requirement, to fulfil a contract with you or because you have given us your consent to do so.

The new GDPR regulations state that we need to also consider the conditions under which we process special category data. We will only process special categories of data at Team Oxford when you have given us your explicit consent to do so, to carry out our legal obligations or for reasons of substantial public interest.

D)    WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

Personal information

The personal information that we collect about you will only be used by Team Oxford staff to liaise with you about particular events or activities you may have signed up for.

We will never sell or share your personal information with organisations so that they can contact you for any marketing activities. Equally, we would never sell any information to other organisations about your web browsing activity.

E)     PROTECTING YOUR DATA

We are aware of the requirement to ensure your data is protected against accidental loss or disclosure, destruction and abuse. We have implemented processes to guard against such and are committed to ensuring that your personal data is always kept safe.

F)     RETENTION PERIODS

We only keep your data for as long as we need it for, depending on the relevant activity. Some data retention periods are set by the law. You can ask for a copy of Aspire Oxford’s Data Retention Schedule at any time by calling 01865 204450.

G)    YOUR RIGHTS

It’s very important to us that you understand what your rights are in respect to how we process your data. You have the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold on you:

a)    the right to be informed about the data we hold on you and what we do with it;

b)   the right of access to the data we hold on you, along with what personal information we use, why we use it, if we share it and how long we hold it for. This is called a “Subject Access Request”. To make a request please put this in writing to Team Oxford, Aspire Oxford, St Thomas School, Osney Lane, Oxford OX1 1NP. There is no charge for this service.

c)    the right for any inaccuracies in the data we hold on you, however they come to light, to be corrected. This is also known as ‘rectification’;

d)   the right to have data deleted in certain circumstances. This is also known as ‘erasure’;

e)   the right to restrict the processing of the data;

f)     the right to transfer the data we hold on you to another party. This is also known as ‘portability’;

g)    the right to object to the inclusion of any information;

h)   the right to regulate any automated decision-making and profiling of personal data.

H)    CONSENT

Where you have provided consent to our use of your data, you also have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This means that we will stop processing your data.

I)       MAKING A COMPLAINT

If you think your data rights have been breached, you are able to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner (ICO). You can contact the ICO at Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF or by telephone on 0303 123 1113 (local rate) or 01625 545 745.
