You can unsubscribe from SHF‘s emails by replying to any of the emails you receive from SHF with the word ‘unsubscribe’.

 2) Personal data that SHF collects under the lawful basis of ‘Contract’

Address given for 1:1 sessions – the purpose(s) of collecting and processing this information are:

1. To deliver private sessions at a location of your choice (usually your home or place of work). When SHF is providing a session in a location of the client’s choice, the address of the appointment will be temporarily shared with a third party in line with SHF’s safe guarding policy. This policy is designed to protect the instructor when they are working alone. The details of the instructor’s movements and location will be securely shared with a ‘buddy’. If the instructor fails to contact the ‘buddy’ at an agreed time, the ‘buddy’ will try to contact the instructor. If the instructor still fails to make contact, then the emergency services will be alerted and given the details of the instructor’s intended movements and locations. If the instructor does contact the ‘buddy’, the client’s details will be deleted from the ‘buddy’s’ system. If you do not wish to have your appointment time and address shared with a ‘buddy’, please inform SHF. Unfortunately, this will mean the instructor is no longer able to see you at a location of your choice as they will no longer be able to fulfil the requirements of their safeguarding policy.

Hard copies of contact details are kept in a locked filling cabinet. Digital copies are stored in password protected files and/or SHF’s password protected G Suite account (please see section 1 for more information about G Suite). Your details will be permanently destroyed if you have not had an appointment for a year with SHF.
