Privacy Policy

We collect personal information about you when you provide it to us:

directly, eg...
to sign up to receive our emails
to make purchases from our online shop
to participate in online campaigns (eg petitions or other actions)
to use online tools (eg our Rate Your Walk tool)
to register for events
and indirectly, eg...
when you visit our website (please see the ‘visiting our website’ section below).
When we obtain your personal information we have legal obligations towards you when we use your  information

This personal information may include details such as your name, address, mobile number, email address, or the amount you have donated.

The personal information we collect about you may be used by Living Streets for the following purposes:

to provide you with services, products or information you have requested
to address emails correctly
to determine who your MP, councillor or other representative is when you opt to take part in an online campaign action
to process your donations
to monitor the service we provide to you
to provide you with information or other communications about Living Streets
to satisfy legal obligations which are binding on us, for example in relation to regulatory, government and/ or law enforcement bodies with whom we may work (for example requirements relating to the payment of tax or anti-money laundering);
for the prevention of fraud or misuse of services; and/or for the establishment, defence and/ or enforcement of legal claims.
The Data Protection Act 2018 requires us to rely on one or more lawful bases to use your personal information. We consider the grounds listed below to be relevant:

Where you have provided your consent for us to use your personal information in a certain way (for example, we will ask for your consent to use your personal information to send you fundraising material by email, and we may ask for your explicit consent to collect special categories of your personal information).
Where necessary so that we can comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, where we are obliged to share your personal information with regulatory bodies which govern our work and services).
Where necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract (for example, if you apply to work for/ volunteer with us).
Where it is in your/ someone else’s vital interests (for example, in case of medical emergency suffered by a beneficiary).
Where there is a legitimate interest in us doing so.
The Data Protection Act 2018 allows us to collect and process your personal information if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our or others’ legitimate interests (as long as that processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights).

In broad terms, our “legitimate interests” means the interests of running Living Streets as a charitable entity and pursuing our aims and ideals such as achieving a better walking environment and inspiring people to walk more.

When we process your personal information to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. We will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, for example where use would be excessively intrusive (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

If you choose to provide your personal details to Living Streets you agree that your personal information may be displayed as set out above.

If you are notified on a Living Streets site that your information may be used to allow Living Streets to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that Living Streets may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been suspended for maintenance.

We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of new services from Living Streets unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.

In general, any information you provide to Living Streets will only be used within Living Streets and by its agents and service providers.

Your information will only be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to Living Streets or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on Living Streets, Living Streets can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school, e-mail/Internet service provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

Unless still required in connection with the purpose(s) for which it was collected and/or processed, we will remove your personal information from our records six years after the date it was collected. However, if before that date (i) your personal information is no longer required in connection with such purpose(s), (ii) we are no longer lawfully entitled to process it or (iii) you validly exercise your right of erasure, we will remove it from our records at the relevant time.

If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to comply with your request and avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.

We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018.

This website uses cookies. We use cookies to analyse our traffic  and to provide social media features. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services. You consent to our cookies if you continue to use our website.

During the course of any visit to Living Streets website, the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before.

Our website displays a banner, asking for your consent to use cookies like these. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit. Living Streets will make no attempt to identify individual users to its website where users have not supplied personal information to Living Streets (eg for enews subscription). However, we use Google Analytics to monitor traffic to our site and we may use information collected by this tool, such as details of your service provider, for monitoring purposes.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies we need your permission.

This site uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third party services that appear on our pages.

You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website.

Please state your consent ID and date when you contact us regarding your consent.

Your consent applies to the following domains: living-streets.uksouth01.umbraco.io, act.livingstreets.org.uk, livingstreets.netdonor.net, livingstreets.org.uk

Your current state: Allow all.

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows. Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services and member only content cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of Living Streets features.

Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse Living Streets anonymously until such time as you wish to register for Living Streets services. For further information on cookies please visit https://www.aboutcookies.org.

TYPES OF COOKIE

There are essentially two types of cookie. "Session" cookies and "persistent" cookies. Session cookies carry essential data from page to page during a unique visit to a site. When you close your browser or if you are inactive on the site for a period of more than 30 minutes, your computer will automatically delete any session cookies placed on your computer.

This site uses session cookies. If you are not a member of the site, only one session cookie is used and it tells the site that you are not an authenticated member of the site. If you are a member of the site and have logged in, there are more session cookies placed on your computer which maintain your login status and save your username and password temporarily.

Persistent cookies carry information between visits to a site. Some sites use persistent cookies to track your behaviour within a site, or they allow 3rd parties to place cookies on your machine when adverts are viewed. You may be told that this enables the advertising delivery agencies to better tailor the adverts they deliver to your areas of interest. This site DOES NOT use persistent cookies in this way.

Living Streets takes reasonable steps to ensure the security of all information it collects, including that the information is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This includes financial details related to donations which are processed by third party providers. 

Your personal information is maintained in a secure environment, which can be accessed only by authorised personnel. However, no data transmission over the internet or information stored on servers accessible through the internet can be guaranteed to be fully secure, therefore any donations or purchases you make through our website are at your own risk. 

Where we rely on your consent to use your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This includes the right to ask us to stop using your personal information for marketing or fundraising purposes or to unsubscribe from our email list at any time. You also have the following rights:

Right of access – you can write to us to ask for confirmation of what personal information we hold on you and to request a copy of that personal information. Provided we are satisfied that you are entitled to see the personal information requested and we have successfully confirmed your identity, we will provide you with your personal information subject to any exemptions that apply.
Right of erasure – at your request we will delete your personal information from our records as far as we are required to do so. In many cases we would propose to suppress further communications with you, rather than delete it.
Right of rectification – if you believe our records of your personal information are inaccurate, you have the right to ask for those records to be updated. You can also ask us to check the personal information we hold about you if you are unsure whether it is accurate/up to date.
Right to restrict processing – you have the right to ask for processing of your personal information to be restricted if there is disagreement about its accuracy or legitimate usage.
Right to object – you have the right to object to processing where we are (i) processing your personal information on the basis of the legitimate interests ground, (ii) using your personal information for direct marketing or (iii) using your information for statistical purposes.
Right to data portability – to the extent required by the GDPR, where we are processing your personal information (that you have provided to us) either (i) by relying on your consent or (ii) because such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contact, and in either case we are processing using automated means (i.e. with no human involvement), you may ask us to provide the personal information to you – or another service provider – in a machine-readable format.
Rights related to automated decision-making – you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal information which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, unless such a decision (i) is necessary to enter into/perform a contract between you and us/another organisation; (ii) is authorised by EU or Member State law to which we are subject (as long as that law offers you sufficient protection); or (iii) is based on your explicit consent.
Please note that some of these rights only apply in limited circumstances. For security purposes, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity before disclosing personal information requested by you. 

You are further entitled to make a complaint about us or the way we have processed your personal information to the data protection supervisory authority in your home country. In the UK, the data protection authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office. (www.ico.org.uk)

Please address requests to exercise your rights above, or for any other queries, to our Data Protection Officer at Living Streets, 133 Whitechapel High Street, Aldgate, E1 7QA (Email: [email protected])

This policy is supplementary to our main privacy policy above, specifically for our WOW Travel Tracker tool.

Please ensure you have read our main privacy policy which applies to use of the travel tracker programme in addition to this supplementary policy.

Living Streets is committed to preserving the privacy of all visitors, and associated data. Please read the following supplementary policy to understand how we use and protect the information that you provide to us in relation to the WOW Travel Tracker.

INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU

In addition to the information set out in our main privacy policy and its uses, when you visit or register with our online application, we may collect your journey details. You have the option of saving your login details such that you can be automatically logged in on your next visit. This feature is entirely optional.

We may also collect information about your usage of our online application, as well as information about you from messages you post to the online application and e-mails or letters you send to us.

Personal details which you enter during registration are for monitoring purposes only and will not be connected with individuals contact details.

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

Information we collect will be used for the purposes set out in our main privacy policy. Additionally, your information collected in relation to the online application will enable us to provide you with access to relevant parts of the application, show class report information and display your class' ranking on leaderboards. We will also use and analyse the information we collect so that we can administer, support, improve and develop the online application. In particular, we may use your information to contact you for your views on the online application and to notify you occasionally about important changes or developments to the online application. Further, where you have consented, we might also use your information to let you know by email about other events or updates that may be of interest to you. If you change your mind about being contacted, in the future, please let us know. You have a number of rights in relation to your data as set out in our main privacy policy.

USE OF TRAVEL DATA YOU HAVE PROVIDED

When using the online application to record how pupils have travelled, data will be recorded anonymously so that it cannot be associated with an individual child, unless your school has chosen to add name tags which clearly identify individuals. Your school's data can be accessed by those in your school with access to the admin section of the online tool and can be analysed at aggregated class, year group and whole school levels. This data is also accessible by us, to help with our monitoring, evaluation and analysis of the walk to school intervention, and by your school governing authority.

Your school's information and travel data may be shared with third parties for the purposes of evaluation and to measure the impact of the application and associated walk to school interventions, subject to our authorisation. Third parties may include evaluation agencies, researchers, local sector public bodies and UK government departments. We will not share any names or individual contact information of people at your school.

We may also use your travel data to help us promote the online application and our walk to school intervention, but for this purpose we will use information only at school level, not class or individual level, unless authorised by your school.

OTHER DISCLOSURE OF YOUR AND YOUR SCHOOL'S INFORMATION

Apart from the purposes specified elsewhere in this agreement, and unless required to do so by law, we will not share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent. We will have access rights to your data, but will not have access to individual children's information, that can be linked back to that child. Individual children will not be able to be identified from the information entered, unless your school has chosen to add name tags which clearly identify them. The name tag feature is not intended to be used with full pupil names - initials, nickname or first name only is recommended.

Where a school has chosen to use the 'Additional Classes' feature to group together children that fall outside of a traditional year group structure, including children with protected characteristics as defined in the Equality Act 2010, individual children will not be identifiable from the information entered, unless your school has chosen to add name tags which clearly identify them.

Changes to our policy

Any changes to our main privacy policy or to this supplementary information in the future will be posted to the online application and, where appropriate, through e-mail notification to the address associated with your school's account.
