Introduction
JET recently reviewed its privacy statement. This post explains how we use data about living individuals

Why do we need your information?
To help you find employment, training and/or further advice and support

Whose data do we collect?
We hold personal data on staff and on clients who register with us looking for support

How we obtain your data
The majority of the information we hold about you has been provided directly to us by you

We also collect data from other sources. Examples include information gathered from partners working with JET in a particular project.

 What we do with your data and why 
The core purposes of our data processing are to:
1. Assist you in finding jobs, education and training
2. Administer volunteering opportunities and programmes
3. Send communications to you
4. Build financial & volunteer support for JET through various fundraising               and marketing activities
5. Promote the aims and objectives of JET through other activities

We collect the following classes of information :
1. Name(s) and address, email, phone number and other relevant contact             details and preferences
2. Relevant family or friends information including information on successor         advisors
3. Occupation, skills and professional activity and network(s)
4. Financial information 
5. Records of volunteering
6. Information about our relationship with you, correspondence, meeting            notes, attendance at events etc.

Protecting your data
We keep your data secure in our database with appropriate security mechanisms in place. 

In principle we do not share your data with anyone else or any other organisation unless it is necessary for the purpose for which you have given us the data. 

Our responsibilities
The law requires us to tell you the basis on which we process your data : 

1. We will pass your data onto other partner who wish to know who you are in order to                     employ you, train you or otherwise provide the support you have asked us to find for you.

2. Some activities require your consent. If the law requires your consent to process data in a         certain way then we will obtain it before carrying out that activity.

3. In all other cases the law allows us to process your data if it is in our legitimate interest to           do so, but only so long as we need to and your “interests or your fundamental rights and           freedoms are not overriding”. Practically speaking this means we carry out an exercise to           check that we will not cause you harm by processing your data, that the processing is not          overly intrusive and that we will only do so in a way which is described in this privacy                  notice.

We will keep data for as long as is needed to complete the task for which it was collected. That is, until you go into employment or you tell us you no longer need our services. 
Your rights
The law requires us to tell you that you have a variety of rights about the way we process your data. These are as follows :

1. Where our use of your data requires consent, you may withdraw this consent at any time

2. Where we rely on our legitimate interest to process data, you may ask us to stop doing so

3. You may request a copy of the data we hold about you

4. You may change or stop the way in which we communicate with you or process data about       you, and if it is not required for the purpose you provided it, then we will do so

5. If you are not satisfied with the way we have processed your data then you can complain to       the Office of the Information Commissioner

Contacting us

If you have any questions about this privacy notice, about the way in which we process your data, or if you wish to change the way we use your data, including how we communicate with you, then please contact us.
