GDPR
The European Union Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of rules about how
companies should process the personal data of data subjects. GDPR lays out
responsibilities for organisations to ensure the privacy and protection of personal data,
provides data subjects with certain rights, and assigns powers to regulators to ask for
demonstrations of accountability or even impose fines in cases where an organisation is
not complying with GDPR requirements. Below is a summary of information about data
and your rights in relation to “No Whispers CIC”.

Consent
Information you give us here will be stored securely.
We may need to use some of the data we store for routine evaluation of the service,
but this is always anonymous. If you have any concerns about this, please let us know.

• What information (data) we collect.
• How we use it
• How long we store it
• Your rights with regard to the information you share with us.

Your Data – Your Rights
When you contact us, you may give us some personal details. This information is stored
securely.

Safeguarding
Occasionally we may ‘act’ to protect you by sharing information without your consent.
This is only if absolutely necessary such as your life is in danger or if you are unable to
give consent. If we are really worried about you and think that you are at risk or danger,
we will talk to you about the need for somebody outside the No Whispers organisation to
know what has happened or what is happening to you.

We would only do this if:
• your life is at risk because of something you are doing
• you are at risk from somebody else
• you are a risk to somebody else.
In these cases, we will use any contact details so that we can refer you to the appropriate
services or get the help you need.

Your right to withdraw your consent
You have the right to withdraw consent for us to hold personal information on you.
A request to withdraw consent should be sent to karen@no-whispers.co.uk

The right to view the data we hold about you.
You have the right to see what data is kept about you. If you want to view your records
you can do so by sending a request to karen@no-whispers.co.uk
We can only show you your data if we know who you are and can provide proof of your ID.

Data storage
All the data we collect is stored securely in the UK.
