REFORGE BRITAIN – PRIVACY POLICY
1. About this Privacy Policy
Reforge Britain respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and the rights you have in relation to your personal information.
2. Information We May Collect
When you use the Reforge Britain website, contact us or become a member, we may collect information including:
Your name, email address, telephone number, membership details, account information, communications with Reforge Britain and information you voluntarily provide to us.
We may also collect basic technical information relating to your use of our website, such as browser, device and website usage information.
3. Membership and Payment Information
Membership payments are processed securely through our payment provider, Stripe.
Reforge Britain does not store your full debit or credit card details.
Stripe may process information required to complete payments, manage subscriptions, prevent fraud and comply with legal obligations.
4. How We Use Your Information
We may use your personal information to:
- Create and manage your Reforge Britain membership.
- Process membership payments and renewals.
- Communicate with you about your membership.
- Provide member information and training resources.
- Organise training and other Reforge Britain activities.
- Respond to enquiries and provide support.
- Maintain the security and administration of the website.
- Meet legal, regulatory, accounting and insurance requirements.
- Develop and improve Reforge Britain.
5. Our Legal Basis for Using Personal Information
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because it is necessary to provide your membership or another service you have requested, because we have a legitimate organisational interest in doing so, because we must comply with a legal obligation, or because you have given consent.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
6. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted organisations that help us operate Reforge Britain, such as payment processors, website and hosting providers, membership-management services, email providers, insurers, training providers or professional advisers.
Information will only be shared where reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate safeguards.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect the rights, safety or security of Reforge Britain, its members or others.
7. International Data Processing
Some organisations providing services to Reforge Britain may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by UK data-protection law.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including membership administration, accounting, legal, insurance and regulatory requirements.
Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely anonymised where appropriate.
9. Keeping Your Information Secure
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
Our website uses secure connections and payment-card information is handled by our payment provider rather than being stored directly by Reforge Britain.
10. Your Data Protection Rights
Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights including access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of information in certain circumstances, restriction or objection to certain processing, and data portability where applicable.
You may also withdraw consent where consent is being relied upon.
To exercise your rights, contact Reforge Britain using the contact details below.
11. Cookies
The Reforge Britain website may use cookies or similar technologies required for the website, membership system, security and payment functions to operate.
Where consent is legally required for optional cookies, visitors will be given an appropriate choice.
A separate Cookie Policy or cookie notice may provide further information.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Reforge Britain develops or where legal or operational requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this website.
