2. Purpose of the processing and the lawful basis for the processing

We process personal data from the following categories of people:

  1. Website visitors and users (cookie data and any personal data you choose to send us in forms on the site)
  2. Training and conferences applicants and attendees (any data you submit when applying or paying for a training course, including financial details)
  3. CORC members and Network members (any data you submit on the registration form)

We rely upon various lawful bases, as set out in the GDPR, to collect and use your data;
Art 6 1(a) Consent: we process with your clear consent for specific purpose(s).
Art 6 1 (b) Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or to enable us to take specific steps before entering into a contract with you.
Art 6 1 (f) Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests.

It is in the legitimate interest of AFNCCF to collect and process data about you and your usage of the website to carry out evaluation, ensure that the information and resources provided are useful, and to identify areas for improvement as we do not believe that this processing will have any adverse effect on your rights as a data subject.

It is in the legitimate interest of AFNCCF to collect and process a limited set of personal data from CORC members, consisting of your title, name, work address, contact details, job title, organisation, CORC website login details and notes of correspondence/contacts with the CORC team. We do not believe that this processing will have any adverse effect on your rights as a data subject and is in both our interests.

3. Who we share your data with

Email communications

We use Mailchimp for our Email Marketing, which automatically places single pixel gifs, also known as web beacons, in every email sent to our CORC network members and subscribers. These are tiny graphic files that contain unique identifiers that enable us to recognise when our contacts have opened an email or clicked certain links. These technologies record each contact’s email address, IP address, date, and the time associated with each open and click for a campaign. We use anonymised aggregated data to create reports about how our email communication performed and to improve our content. We provide an ‘unsubscribe’ button at the end of every email using this technology. You can also write us at corc@annafreud.org if you no longer want to receive emails from CORC.

We also use Mailchimp to generate on-demand, self-service online registration forms for schools who want to participate in our Wellbeing Measurement for Schools programme. We collect information through the text fields in the form directly from those who are registering when they complete the registration form. This data is cleared annually and therefore not held in Mailchimp for more than one year. In case of a school wanting to void or remove any traceable information earlier, CORC is able to purge eDocuments at any time. 

For more information about the ways in which Mailchimp collects and uses personal data, visit their Privacy Policy.

Click Databases

Our membership database is maintained by the IT consultancy Click Databases, who have partnered with CORC since 2008 and abide by data protection requirements and good practice for this type of data.

 

4. How long we retain your data

We keep the data for various lengths of time, depending on the purpose it was collected for. Financial data is retained for 6 years. CORC membership data is retained while you are a member and we keep a permanent record (with minimal data) of CORC members. If you sign up to the CORC newsletter we will retain your data until you unsubscribe from the list. Training and events data is kept for 2 years after the event and then deleted.
