Privacy & Cookie Policy

Privacy Notice

We take seriously our obligations to protect your privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation, incorporated in the UK by The Data Protection Act 2018 (the Act), requires us to provide you with important information on how we collect and use your personal data.

Your data is processed by the Foot Drop Society, whose principal address is 50 High Street, Long Buckby, Northamptonshire, NN6 7RD. For the purpose of the Act, The Foot Drop Society is defined as a data controller. 

We can only process your data if there is a legal basis for doing so. We rely on two legal bases for processing your data. These are: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time and our legitimate business interests.

We must also specify the purposes for processing your data. The purpose of processing your data is because you have asked for something to be done so that you can enter into a contract.

We do not pass on data to Third Parties.

We do not transfer any of your data outside of the EEA.

Importantly, you have a number of rights with regard to the data that we hold about you. For example, you can request access to your data, and can require that we rectify or erase it. Your requests will be properly considered. However, this does not automatically mean that we will agree to your request, as we may have other obligations that outweigh your rights. For example, we may be required to legally defend our activities.

We retain your data for a number of reasons and will only keep it for as long as is necessary. Some of the time limits imposed on us are as a result of our statutory obligations. 

1. Your name, telephone number and email address via our contact form.  We retain this until we have dealt with your request

The legislation covering data protection is quite complex. We have tried to keep this document brief and clear to help you understand your rights in respect of the personal data that we process. Should you require further information or in the event that you are not content with how we are managing your personal data, please contact us by emailing: info@nationalfootdropsociety.com

You should also be aware that you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s independent data regulator, the ICO, see details below.
