Survey
Occasionally we may ask you to fill in questionnaires or surveys whilst online. The data collected by the questionnaire or survey will only be used for the purpose stated on the form. You may also be given the opportunity to add your address details to our databases so we can contact you in the future. We will only use this information to contact you if you expressly give us permission to do so.
Financial information
In order to process Direct Debit, Credit Card or other financial transactions we may ask for your bank or card details. In order to do this you will be directed to a secure area of our site. To ensure the maximum level of security is applied to your data, all transmissions over the internet to and from this area are encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
Credit card and bank detail information is not retained on our web servers, but is transferred to our secure internal databases (for the purpose of collecting and recording payments).
Requests for information
If you make a request for further information via the High/Scope UK website, the data will only be retained on the Web Servers as long as necessary in order to respond to your query.
Confidentiality
The High/Scope UK website includes links to other sites, not owned or managed by the High/Scope UK. We cannot be held responsible for the privacy of data collected by websites not managed by High/Scope UK.
Who we share information with
High/Scope UK does not rent or sell mailing details to any third party. However, occasionally High/Scope UK works with partner organisations or companies to send you information on other ways in which you can be involved with High/Scope UK. However, we will not simply add your name to another organisation's database.
High/Scope UK may from time to time need to use the services of an Internet Provider. For financial or technical reasons these may be sited outside of the European Economic Area. Use of data by the Internet Service Provider on behalf of High/Scope UK is regulated and safeguarded by both international procedures and legal agreements to comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998. In particular, we wish to ensure that data is adequately protected in the Provider's country of business, as obliged by the 8th Data Protection Principle.
