For privacy questions or requests, email engagement@rise-charter.org.

We may collect:

• Your name, email address, organisation, role and contact details.
• Information included in contact enquiries.
• Information submitted through a Charter commitment or sign-up form.
• Contributor information, including biographies, qualifications, professional affiliations, photographs and published contributions.
• Event registration and attendance information.
• Information provided when you communicate with RISE.
• Information needed to manage requests, activities and relationships.
• Technical information needed to keep the website secure and functioning correctly.

Please do not provide sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it and explain why it is needed.

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries.
• Manage Charter commitments.
• Communicate with contributors.
• Review, publish and maintain contributor information and content.
• Organise and administer events, consultations, training and other activities.
• Send essential information about an activity for which you have registered.
• Manage relationships with contributors, participants and partner organisations.
• Maintain website security and functionality.
• Improve the website and RISE activities.
• Meet legal, regulatory, insurance or governance requirements.
• Deal with complaints, requests and legal claims.

We will only use personal information for the purposes described in this policy, or for a compatible purpose that we explain to you.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

• Your consent.
• Our legitimate interests in operating RISE, responding to enquiries, managing activities and maintaining the website.
• Taking steps at your request before entering into an arrangement with you.
• Compliance with a legal obligation.
• Another lawful basis permitted by applicable data-protection law.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

The relevant form, registration process or communication will provide additional information where a particular lawful basis or consent is required.

RISE may work with approved partner organisations to deliver events, consultations, training, publications or other activities.

Where necessary and lawful, we may share limited personal information, such as your name, organisation, role, contact details and registration or attendance information, with the relevant partner to administer and communicate about that activity.

We will only share information that is necessary for the specific purpose. We will not share your information with a partner for unrelated marketing without a separate lawful basis and, where required, your consent.

Depending on the circumstances, RISE and the partner may act as separate or joint controllers, or the partner may process information only on RISE's instructions. We will put appropriate arrangements in place and provide relevant information when your personal information is collected.

We may use trusted service providers to help operate the website, receive communications, deliver images, store information, manage forms, administer events, provide security or support RISE activities.

These organisations may only use personal information in accordance with RISE's instructions and applicable data-protection law.

Some contributor information may be published on the RISE website. This may include a person's name, professional role, organisation, biography, photograph, contribution and historical affiliation.

We will publish personal information about contributors only where we have permission or another appropriate lawful basis.

A historical affiliation may be shown to preserve the provenance of an original contribution. Any current role or affiliation will be treated separately and checked where appropriate.

Charter commitments will remain private unless a public register is separately approved and the relevant people have been properly informed and, where required, have given consent.

When RISE organises an event or activity with a partner organisation, the registration process will explain what information is collected, why it is needed, how it will be used, whether it will be shared with a partner and how the partner will be involved.

Information will only be shared to the extent necessary for the relevant activity.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law.

The retention period depends on the type of information and why it was collected. We consider:

• Whether the original purpose still applies.
• Whether we need the information to manage an ongoing relationship or activity.
• Whether we need a record of consent, permission or publication history.
• Whether legal, insurance, accounting or governance requirements apply.
• Whether a complaint, dispute or legal claim remains unresolved.

When information is no longer required, we securely delete it or anonymise it.

This website does not currently use analytics or marketing cookies. We do not currently use Google Analytics.

We may introduce Google Analytics or another analytics service in the future. If we do, we will update this policy and provide appropriate information before collecting analytics information. We will obtain consent before using non-essential analytics cookies where required.

We may disclose personal information where necessary:

• To comply with a legal obligation, court order or lawful request.
• To prevent fraud or misuse.
• To protect the rights, safety or property of RISE, our participants or others.
• To obtain legal, professional or insurance advice.
• To establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

You can contact us for further information about relevant safeguards.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
