Privacy Statement

Introduction

Smart Play Network (“we”) provide services to you which means we need to get, keep, and process data relating to you. We may get this data directly from you or from somebody else (e.g. an employer or from a professional that has referred you with your permission to us). We only hold the minimum amount of data for our organisation to be effective in supporting you or others. We have a separate data retention policy that details how long we retain your data, which if you want to know more about this, please contact the Operations Manager (Strategic). For most people, the data we hold is very little.

We receive, keep, and process this data as part of our legitimate interests, such as being able to communicate our services to you, or connect you with others that we think you would be interested in connecting with.

Our commitment with regards to your data

In relation to our members

We will hold data provided by you in relation to your projects / services or the work you are involved in.
We will use this data to communicate with you on topics that we think will help and support your work. This will include regular newsletters and information on upcoming events and resources.

In relation to service users (children & families using our projects)

PlayTalkRead

We ask visitors to PlayTalkRead to fill in a survey, which asks for your local authority and your email address (optional). These details are used for monitoring the effectiveness of our delivery and to gather follow-up feedback on the impact of the service.

For booked sessions, we ask for name of parent/carer, telephone number and an email address, which is then shredded/deleted after the tour ends.

For our ASN delivery sessions, we may ask you for additional information such as the name of the child and the additional support needs of the child including medical condition, if appropriate. This will be used to tailor our service to the needs and preferences of the child to develop appropriate activities and create a comfortable and safe environment.

Play Plus Toy Library

We record contact details including names, email address, telephone number and home addresses of adult(s), and name of child(ren), gender (optional) and date of birth that join our toy library as a member.

Play Rangers

We will keep information on the name of the child, and a name and contact number for emergency contact. We will only use this if there is an incident or accident at our session.

Play on Wheels

We will keep information on the name of the child and name of the parent/carer. This information is required for monitoring purposes and to share statistical data with our funders. However, we do not use real names when reporting or sharing information.

In relation to our trainees

We record contact details including names, email address, telephone numbers and organisation address. These details are used for billing information and gaining feedback from the courses.

Photographs and media

Photographs and videos will not be taken without the completion and signature on a consent form which will include contact details. If consent is not given, photographs and videos will not be taken of a child. We will only share photographs and videos (on our materials, social media, and website) if consent is given to do so.
