DATA COLLECTION STATEMENT
To facilitate Youth Participation activities, including the Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing, and Hounslow Mind (‘HFEH Mind’) Youth Panel, we need to store personal data relating to the children or young people we work with.
Before agreeing to be involved, or for your child to be involved, in Youth Participation activities at HFEH Mind, we must ensure you understand and agree to the way we store personal data.
We process and store personal data in compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018. All the personal data you provide to us will be stored internally on secure databases. This personal data is only accessible to HFEH Mind staff.
In line with our Data Retention Policy, we will retain the personal data collected on our secure databases for a period of up to six years unless you instruct us otherwise. After the six-year retention period, the personal data collected will be safely and securely erased from our databases.
Individuals have legal rights regarding data processing, and the personal data that is recorded about them, including the right to request access to the personal data that HFEH Mind holds on them.
