Restored Lives (“We”, “Us”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy and Cookies Policy (“Policy”) (together with any other documents referred to therein) sets out the basis on which the personal data collected from you, or that you provide to Us will be processed by Us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how We will treat it.

1.1 YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Information we collect from you
We collect and process some or all of the following types of information from you in the course of your use of our website or you involvement in our courses or similar services:
- Information that you provide by filling in forms on the Website or as part of the registration process for our events, programmes or newsletters. We may also ask you for further information when you contact us via the Website.
- Specifically, personal details such as name, email address, address or any information you input when using our Website, completing our survey forms and using our Services.
- If you contact Us, We may keep a record of that correspondence.
- We may also ask you to complete surveys that We use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.
- Details of your visits to the Website including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, and the resources that you access and download.
1.2 USES MADE OF YOUR INFORMATION
Lawful basis for processing
We rely on your consent as provided when you enter your details or otherwise sign up to using our Services as the lawful basis on which We collect and use your personal data.
If We enter into a contract with you, We rely on performance of a contract as the lawful basis on which We collect and use your personal data.
We may also rely on legitimate interests as the lawful basis on which We collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interests are supporting people through separation and divorce, creating and delivering a course and resources to do this and campaigning to reform the divorce process to reduce its harm on children, families and wider society.
Purposes of processing
We use information held about you in the following ways:
- To provide you with our services, which may include connecting you with relevant organisations such as charities, churches and professional service providers who offer relevant services e.g. Mediators, solicitors, IFA, parenting specialists;
- To ensure that content on the Website is presented in the most effective manner for you and for the device(s) you use to access and view the Website;
- To provide you with information and details of events that you request from Us or which We feel may interest you.
- To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and Us.
- To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so. (WhatsApp) We create WhatsApp groups during our courses to facilitate interaction amongst members of small groups. This will mean that all members of a small group will be able to see and save the phone numbers of the others in their group. Participants will be asked if they wish to join and can leave these groups at any time. After the course We will no longer actively monitor or facilitate the groups but participants and Restored Lives team are free to continue to use them in a private capacity, at their own risk, to support each other informally. Your Direction workshop participants will similarly be asked if they wish to join and can leave these groups at any time. If they are under 17 the contact person, parent or carer will be asked for permission to add them to the group and the group will be deleted at the end of the course.
- To notify you about changes to our service.
- To carry research on and measure our impact and effectiveness of our activities.
Marketing
In addition to the above uses We may use your information, to notify you about goods or services which may be of interest to you. Where We do this, We will contact you by electronic means (e-mail, WhatsApp) only if you have consented to such communication or where we have a lawful, legitimate interest in doing so. If you do not want Us to use your data in this way please either (i) tick the relevant box situated on the form on which We collect your data (for example, the contact form or registration form); (ii) unsubscribe from our electronic communications using the method indicated in the relevant communication; or (iii) inform Us at any time by contacting Us at the contact details set out below.
1.3 DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We routinely disclose your personal data to third parties as follows:
- We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (e.g. if you have asked for a call/meeting with one of the mediators we work with). Due to the nature of our organisation, this may include disclosing your information to course leaders and the churches and community groups who host our courses
We may also disclose your personal data to third parties:
- if We are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions on the Website or any other contracts with you;
- to protect Our rights, property, or safety or that of our affiliated entities and our users and any third party We interact with to provide the Website; or
- in relation to other, selected third parties only, only to the extent that you have consented to such selected third parties notifying you about certain goods or services, which may be of interest to you.
Other than as set out above, and save insofar as is necessary in order for Us to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and Us, We will not share your data with third parties unless We have procured your express consent to do so.
1.4 STORING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Security
We take appropriate measures to ensure that any personal data is kept secure, including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business 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.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do our best to protect your personal data, We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once We have received your information, We will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
