Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

 

Supportive Sloths North West (SSNW) provide Warrington and surrounding areas with services and resources to enable safe babywearing, either in arms or using slings and carriers. We offer free advice, along with charged consultations, workshops, and hires of the stock we have. Our weekly Library Sessions are run by volunteers and one paid member of staff, many of whom are trained to either Peer Supporter or Consultant level, through different UK Babywearing Schools. This policy will set out what personal and sensitive data we will collect from you, how we will use it and how we will protect it.

 

Information We May Collect From You and Why

The data we collect from you will depend on how you wish use our services. We will almost always collect your name, and if you decide to hire any items then we will ask for your contact details (address, telephone number and email address) to allow us to get in contact regarding the hire. We may contact you if you have requested information, to gain more knowledge prior to a consult, to get updates on how you are managing your hire, to send return reminders, invoices, and hire confirmations (normally via MyTurn). We may also get in contact through email to let you know of any updates or events that we (SSNW) have organised. The contract that you agree to (our Terms & Conditions) means that we hold this data to fulfill a contractual lawful basis, and that you will become a user of SSNW. We may ask personal information regarding your physical or mental health, or your child’s health within conversations. We collect this information to ensure we can offer the best advice with regard to how you carry your baby, and which the most suitable carrier may be. The information we request will only be for legitimate business reasons.
