- Sharing your personal information
- We will only share your information if we are legally required to do so by a law enforcement agency legitimately exercising a power, or if compelled by an order of the Court.
- We may work with carefully-selected partners who may carry out work on our behalf. These partners may include mailing houses, marketing agencies and IT specialists. The kind of work we may ask them to do includes answering questions about products or services, sending postal mail, emails and text messages, carrying out research, analysis and processing card payments. We only choose partners we can trust. We will only pass personal data to them if they have signed a contract that requires them to:
- abide by the requirements of the GDPR;
- treat your information as carefully as we would;

- We place great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with people who use our services. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal personal information under our control. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur while it is under our control, we use our best efforts to try to prevent it.
- Unfortunately, the transmission of information across the internet is not completely secure and whilst we do our best to try to protect the security of your information, by encrypting it, we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur whilst data is being transferred.

- What we don’t do with your personal information
We never sell or share your information to other organisations, to use for their own purposes.

Data Protection Policy
What Personal Information We Gather And Why
- Who we are
- We are Tadpole Cottage Ltd, trading as ONRECORD. We are registered in England and Wales under company register number 7463715. Our registered office address is Tadpole Cottage, Tadpole Lane SN25 2DZ. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the data controller is Tadpole Cottage Ltd and our Data Protection Officer is Dr George Hibbert whose contact details are given below.
- Our services include the ONRECORD mobile app, our ONRECORD website, our platform, which is accessed via our website, and our emails. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of those using our services.
- We do not knowingly process children’s personal information and do not encourage children to use our services without an appropriate adult’s consent, support and supervision.
- What personal information is and what this policy is about
- Personal information is information that can be used to identify a person, such as their name, address, phone number or email address.
- This policy describes our use of personal information and how we manage and control it. It describes what information we collect, why we collect it, what we do with it, what we don’t do with it and what rights you have. It should be read along with our Privacy Policy.
- In order for us to provide the services of the ONRECORD mobile app and the ONRECORDonline platform, we need to gather a limited amount of personal information about users of the app and platform. This information enables us to provide users with the services and information they want, such as the ability to login securely and to receive emails. We also gather information about our employees and business contacts in order to manage our organisation and its links.
- Information About Users
- We maintain a record of all the current users of our mobile app and platform. The record includes, as a minimum, the user’s name and email address, which the user provides to us. The user may also choose to provide their date of birth, address, phone number and gender but this is voluntary. Unless a user asks us to delete their information sooner, we will also maintain a record of all users who have cancelled their accounts for 28 days after cancellation, following which the information will be deleted. If a user requests that their personal information is deleted, we shall cancel their account and delete the information as soon as possible and at least within 28 days.
- The lawful basis for collecting this personal information is “Consent” (GDPR Article 6 (1)(a)): “The individual has given clear consent for us to process their personal data for a specific purpose.”
- We do not collect special category information but it is possible that a user implicitly discloses special category information, such as sexual orientation, health data or trades union membership, by using our application to link to a particular organisation. Facilitating this potential source of information is a legitimate activity (GDPR Article 9 (2)(d)) because it is carried out both at the request of the user in the course of our lawfully based activity and, with appropriate safeguards, at the request of and in collaboration with a foundation, association or any other not for profit body with a political, philosophical, religious, or trade union aim and on condition that the information relates solely to the members or to former members of the body or to persons who have regular contact with it in connection with its purposes and that the personal data are not disclosed outside that body without the consent of the data subjects.
- We use gmail as a data processor to help users to set up an account, address technical issues or service delivery problems, link their account to an organisation and manage their account. The only information processed by sub-processors for these purposes is the user’s email address. We reserve the right to engage other processors as and when necessary to assist with the processing of user information in furtherance of the legitimate aim identified above.
- Information About Employees
- We collect personal information on our employees so as to carry out our function as an employer. The records include such things as contact details, CVs, bank details, and employment records. This information is provided by the employees.
- This information is maintained by us for two years or as long as is necessary for the defence of potential legal claims.
- The lawful basis for collecting this data is “Legitimate Interests” (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in being a fair employer which provides staff with all relevant statutory rights as well as terms and conditions above and beyond those required by statute.
- We use data processors to assist with the processing of employee data. Types of processors include email servers such as Gmail, electronic document storage such as Dropbox and other processors which facilitate our role as an employer, such as bookkeeping software, Xero. This information is shared with our accountants. We reserve the right to engage other processors as and when necessary to assist with the processing of employee data in furtherance of the legitimate aims identified above.
- Investor and Supporter Data
- We collect personal information on investors and supporters so as to carry out investment and fundraising activities and to obtain support for our development and other initiatives. The data concerned are names and contact information. This information is provided by the investors, supporters, or a third party which assists in identifying potential investors and supporters. This information is maintained by us indefinitely or until it is requested we delete it.
- The lawful basis for collecting this data is “Legitimate Interests” (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) to maintain a business relationship with individuals and organisations in order to obtain finance and support to maintain and develop our business.
- We use data processors to assist with the processing of investor and supporter information. Types of processors include email servers such as gmail, electronic document storage such as Dropbox, and other processors which facilitate communication with investors and supporters. We reserve the right to engage other processors as and when is necessary to assist with the processing of investor and supporter data in furtherance of the legitimate aims identified above.
- Business Contacts’ Data
- We collect personal data on business contacts so as to be able to liaise with other organisations to achieve our aims. The data concerned are names and contact information. This information is provided by the business contacts themselves, by third party mutual contacts, or is publicly available.
- This information is maintained by us indefinitely or until it is requested we delete it.
- The lawful basis for collecting this data is “Legitimate Interests” (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) to have a network of individuals and organisations with whom we can work to achieve our aims.
- We use data processors to assist with the processing of business contacts’ data. Types of processors include email servers such as gmail, electronic document storage such as Dropbox, and other processors which facilitate communication with business contacts. We reserve the right to engage other processors as and when is necessary to assist with the processing of business contacts’ data in furtherance of the legitimate aims identified above.
Your Rights
You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and objection.
Your rights under the GDPR are listed in Section 12 of our Privacy Policy. More information about these rights is available on the website of the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk
Data Protection Officer
- Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) is Dr George Hibbert who can be contacted at [email protected]
- The DPO’s role includes:
- To inform and advise the organisation and its employees about their obligations to comply with the GDPR and other data protection laws;
- To monitor compliance with the GDPR and other data protection laws, including managing internal data protection activities, advise on data protection impact assessments, train staff and conduct internal audits;
- To be the first point of contact for supervisory authorities and for individuals whose data is processed (employees, users, etc.).
Personal Data Breaches
- We will make all reasonable efforts to keep personal information secure. However, there may be times when an accidental breach is unavoidable. This section of the policy outlines what actions we will take if a breach does occur.
- A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data. This includes breaches that are the result of both accidental and deliberate causes. It also means that a breach is more than just about losing personal data. For example, personal data breaches can include:
- Access by an unauthorized third party;
- Deliberate or accidental action (or inaction) by a controller or processor;
- Sending personal data to an incorrect recipient;
- Computing devices containing personal data being lost or stolen;
- Alteration of personal data without permission; and
- Loss of availability of personal data.
- If a breach does occur, or if it’s possible a breach might have occurred, it must be reported immediately to the DPO. If one of our processors becomes aware of a breach they must inform us without delay, and we will then follow the same steps as below.
- Once aware of the breach the DPO will immediately take steps to investigate the incident and ascertain whether or not the breach was a result of human error or a systemic issue as well as how a recurrence can be prevented – whether this is through better processes, further training or other corrective steps. Information related to the breach and corresponding investigation will be recorded.
- However, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, if feasible, we will establish – based on the information available to us at the time – the likelihood and severity of the resulting risk to people’s rights and freedoms. If it’s likely that there will be a risk then we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) of the breach. If a risk is unlikely then the incident will not be reported but we will document this and the reasons for coming to the conclusion that reporting to the ICO was not necessary. It is important to highlight that this assessment will be carried out even if the investigation is not yet complete, due to the strict time limits on reporting breaches under the GDPR.
- If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, then the individuals concerned will be informed of the breach without delay.
Handling Personal Information
- If you are an employee of Tadpole Cottage Ltd who handles personal information you need to be careful and take all necessary precautions to ensure the data is kept safely and securely. If you have any doubts or questions on how to do this please contact the Data Protection Officer.
- If you are transporting data you need to be careful to always double check and make sure you have everything with you and do not accidentally leave personal information in a public place.
- If you are an employee who handles personal information, it is prohibited to use anything other than ONRECORD emails to transmit these data.
