We (Thornbridge Outdoors, Sheffield City Council) collect personal information in a variety of ways e.g. via paper or online forms, by telephone or in face to face meetings, by email and letters. We also record images of people through CCTV.
This information may have been provided directly by you, your representative, a member of staff or by another organisation where there is a legal reason for them to share your information with us.
We will use the information you provide in order to:
The following information provided to us will be used to fulfil a contract between us and you and to be able to deliver an effective service; for example a residential trip, hire of premises, course, training, outdoor activities or attending an event:
The following information provided to us will be used to protect the vital interests of everyone by making sure the service is appropriate to the needs to everyone, to keep everyone safe and to be able to act in an emergency situation:
Failure to provide this information will result is us not being able to deliver the service to you in an effective and safe manner.
To support NHS Test and Trace (which is part of the Department for Health and Social Care) in England, we have been mandated by law to collect and keep a limited record of staff, customers and visitors who come onto our premises for the purpose of contact tracing. By maintaining records of staff, customers and visitors, and sharing these with NHS Test and Trace where requested, we can help to identify people who may have been exposed to the coronavirus. When you arrive you will be asked to provide some basic information and contact details. The following information will be collected on our dedicated NHS Test and Trace form:
In addition, if you only interact with one member of staff during your visit, the name of the assigned staff member will be recorded alongside your information.
To help us to deliver an effective service we use a range of online services, some of which have data centres based outside of the EU:

See Mailchimp’s GDPR information. To opt out use the ‘update my subscription’ option on each newsletter.
* In addition to information you send to us using these services.
We will share your information with the following third parties:
We only provide the minimum information necessary to enable them to provide services to you and it is done with either the relevant contracts and / or information sharing agreements in place. These organisations are required to retain your information in a secure manner and only use it to undertake the services they provide to you on our behalf; for example to provide you with a certificate should you pass an accredited course.
Your information will only be used by us and we will not share it with any third party.
We will only share the information provided to us on our dedicated NHS Test and Trace form with NHS Test and Trace if it is specifically requested by them.
Under government guidance, the information we collect may include information which we would not ordinarily collect from you and which we therefore collect only for the purpose of contact tracing. Information of this type will not be used for other purposes, and NHS Test and Trace will not disclose this information to any third party unless required to do so by law (for example, as a result of receiving a court order).
This varies depending on the type of information, as well as the legal requirements and reason we are keeping the information. In some instances the law sets the length of time information has to be kept. We also have retention and disposal schedules which give details about how long we need to keep different types of information.
The information you provide may be kept for up to 7 years from the day of visit / course after which it will be deleted.
The information you provide may be kept until the youngest child in your group reaches 25 years old after which it will be deleted.
NHS Test and Trace have asked us to retain the information you provide on our dedicated NHS Test and Trace form for 21 days from the date of your visit, to enable contact tracing to be carried out by NHS Test and Trace during that period.
For example, if another customer at the venue reported symptoms and subsequently tested positive, NHS Test and Trace can request the log of customer details for a particular time period (for example, this may be all customers who visited on a particular day or time-band, or over a 2-day period).
However, the government guidance may also cover information that we would usually collect and hold onto as part of our ordinary dealings with you (see section “How we will use your information”). Where this is the case, this information only will continue to be held after 21 days and we will use it as we usually would, unless and until you tell us not to.
