  • your communication preferences and CHWA Updates subscription status;

Please avoid including unnecessary medical, health or other sensitive personal information in general website forms.

 

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries;

  • provide accounts, courses, resources, bookings and other requested services;

  • process purchases and supporter payments;

  • send CHWA Updates when you have subscribed;

  • maintain the security and operation of our website; and

Our Lawful Bases

We use personal information under the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: to send CHWA Updates and use optional cookies where consent is required.

  • Contract: to provide services, bookings, accounts or resources you request.

  • Legal obligation: to maintain records required by law.

  • Legitimate interests: to respond to enquiries and operate, protect and improve our website and services, where your rights do not override those interests.

You may withdraw your consent to CHWA Updates at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting us.

 

Who We Share Information With

We may use trusted service providers that help us operate our website and deliver our services, including:

  • website hosting, maintenance and security providers;

  • email marketing and contact-management service providers;

  • payment-processing providers;

  • course, video and content-hosting providers; and

International Processing

Some service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we use a legally recognised safeguard, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards. You may contact us for further information about the safeguards used.

 

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, accounting or security requirements.

CHWA Updates subscription information is retained until you unsubscribe. We may retain a limited suppression record afterwards to ensure that further marketing is not sent to you.

Account and service information is retained while your account or service remains active and afterwards where required for legal or administrative purposes.
