We collect data from our website for a number of reasons, primarily to provide you with the most useful and relevant information and services from our organisation and our related organisations. We do this through collecting and analysing both anonymous, or aggregate, data, and personal data volunteered by you online.
What information do we collect?
In some areas of our website, for example, forms, emails, polls and survey submissions, we collect personal data such as your name, address, telephone number and email. We may use this personally identifiable information to customise the content on the websites and to such visitors’ current and future needs and to process any requests, applications or transactions undertaken by you and for internal administration and analysis. We use this information only for the reason you have supplied it or any other reason for which you have given us permission to do so. Nacro and Totton College do not sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
How do we communicate with you?
Where relevant, information is provided to explain why the data is being collected and how it will be used.
