Why we are providing this notice to you
As Trustee we hold certain information about you (“personal data”) which we need to administer CCST.  We are required by law to give you certain information about the data we hold about you, how we use it, and what safeguards are in place to ensure it is protected. This notice is designed to give you that information.

This includes the need to process your data to contact you in relation to your membership of CCST and, where relevant, your participation in the Therapet Service.

 

The legal basis for our use of your personal data will generally be one or more of the following:

1. we need to process your personal data to satisfy our legal obligations as Trustee of CCST;

2. for the legitimate interests of administering CCST and the services it provides;  and/or
