Data Protection Privacy Notice (Participant)
This notice explains what personal data (information) we hold about you, how we collect it, and how we use and may share information about you during your support and after it ends. We are required to notify you of this information under data protection legislation. Please ensure that you read this notice (sometimes referred to as a ‘privacy notice’) and any other similar notice we may provide to you from time to time when we collect or process personal information about you.
Who collects the information
Street Fit Scotland (the ‘Organisation’) is a ‘data controller’ and gathers and uses certain information about you. Where the Organisation is also a ‘data processor’, we will process information received from third parties about you.
Data protection principles
We will comply with the data protection principles when gathering and using personal information, as set out in our Data Protection Policy.
About the information we collect and hold
The table set out on the following pages, appendix 1, summarises the information we collect and hold, how and why we do so. Details on how we use it and with whom it may be shared can be found on appendix 2.
We ensure that all data sharing is done securely, and that it is proportionate. This means that we share only the minimum amount of personal data required, and only with those that need to have access.
In delivering our services Street Fit Scotland will normally only share personal information with another agency/organisation with your consent, such as other, Voluntary Organisations, Edinburgh Council and/or Police Scotland.
There are exceptional circumstances where we may have to disclose personal information without your consent. These are:
- If we believe that either you or someone else is at risk of significant harm. Street Fit Scotland staff has a duty to report any issues relating to child protection or adult safeguarding.
- Where there is another legal reason or requirement to disclose your personal information.
We will notify you of any changes to information we collect or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.
Where information may be held
Information will be held on our secure online data storage facility which is only accessed by us at Street Fit Scotland, all data stored in this way is encrypted. Paper copies of your information may also be stored; this will be done securely and only accessed by staff and volunteers of Street Fit Scotland.
How long we keep your information
We keep your information for 1 year after your last contact with us. Further details on this can be found in our Data Protection Policy. A copy of this can be requested by asking volunteer or staff worker or contacting the office.
Your rights to correct and access your information and to ask for it to be erased

You also have the right to ask Street Fit Scotland for the information we hold and process to be erased (the ‘right to be forgotten’). Please contact us if you require further information on this.
Keeping your personal information secure
Street Fit Scotland has appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to prevent the personal information we hold about you from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way.
We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
