Who we are
This website is operated by The Schools' Aerospace Careers Programme (SACP), a registered charity in England and Wales (#1190721). Our registered address is 9 Vyne Road, Basingstoke, RG21 5NU. Our website address is https://aerospacecareersprogramme.co.uk.
SACP is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. If you have any questions about this policy, or about how we handle your information, please contact us at info@aerospacecareersprogramme.co.uk.
What this policy covers
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit aerospacecareersprogramme.co.uk, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over it. It only covers this website. It does not cover information collected by schools, by companies that support our work, or by any other organisation to whom we may link.
Information we collect
Contact form
The contact form on our Contact Us page collects your name, your email address, your school or organisation (where applicable), a subject line and the message you wish to send. We use this information to read your enquiry and to reply to you.
Feedback forms
After our presentations and visits, we invite students, teachers and supporting companies to complete an online feedback form. These forms are hosted on Google Forms and styled with Formfacade. They are used to help us understand what worked, what did not, and what we should improve.
The feedback forms ask for the name of the school or organisation. They ask for the respondent's name only on an optional basis, so that, where given, a comment may be attributed in our records or, occasionally, in published material. They do not ask for email addresses or any other contact details.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies in two ways.
A small number of cookies are needed to make the website work. These include cookies that remember your cookie preferences. They are set automatically when you visit the site.
We also use Google Analytics to understand how people use the website, so that we can improve it. Google Analytics sets cookies that count visits, record which pages are viewed, and report broad geographic and device information. Google Analytics is only loaded after you give consent through the cookie banner shown on first visit. If you do not give consent, Google Analytics does not run and no analytics cookies are set.
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings on the site, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
Embedded content from YouTube
Some of our pages, particularly in the News Portal, may from time to time embed videos hosted on YouTube. When you view a page containing an embedded video, YouTube and its parent company Google may set cookies and collect information about you in the same way as if you had visited youtube.com directly. We do not control this. You may wish to read YouTube's own privacy notice for more detail.
Why we use your information and our lawful basis
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- To reply to enquiries submitted through the contact form. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests, namely our interest in responding to people who contact us.
- To review and improve our presentations and visits using feedback. Our lawful basis is consent, given by your voluntary submission of the form.
- To understand how the website is used through Google Analytics. Our lawful basis is consent, given through the cookie banner.
We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.
Who we share your information with
We share information only with the following:
- Google LLC, which operates Google Forms, Google Analytics, and the underlying services on which our forms and analytics depend.
- DevelopMyWeb Ltd, which provides our website administration and hosting.
These organisations act as processors on our behalf. They are required to handle your information in line with our instructions and with applicable data protection law. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with any other third party except where we are required to do so by law.
International transfers
Some of our processors, including Google, are based outside the United Kingdom or may process data on servers outside the United Kingdom. Where this is the case, we rely on appropriate safeguards permitted under UK data protection law, including the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (often referred to as the UK-US Data Bridge) and the International Data Transfer Agreement, to make sure your information remains protected.
How long we keep your information
We keep contact form messages for up to two years from your last contact with us, after which they are deleted, unless we need to keep them longer to deal with an ongoing matter or to meet a legal obligation.
We keep feedback responses for up to three years. After that period, any optional names are removed, and the anonymised feedback is retained for our records and for the continuing improvement of the programme.
Google Analytics data is retained in line with our Google Analytics settings, currently fourteen months, after which user-level and event-level data is automatically deleted.
Children and young people
Our programme is aimed at students aged fourteen and over. The student feedback form may therefore be completed by people under the age of eighteen. We keep the information collected to a minimum: only an optional name and the name of the school. We do not collect contact details from students, and we do not contact students directly. If you are a parent, carer, or teacher and you have any concerns about a student's submission, please contact us using the details below.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you (right of access);
- ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete (right to rectification);
- ask us to delete information we hold about you (right to erasure);
- ask us to restrict how we use your information (right to restriction);
- object to our use of your information where we rely on legitimate interests (right to object);
- withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@aerospacecareersprogramme.co.uk. We will respond within one calendar month, in line with UK GDPR.
If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):
- Website: https://ico.org.uk
- Helpline: 0303 123 1113
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.
Security
We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure. The website is administered and hosted by Develop My Web Ltd; form submissions are handled by Google; and communications with the site take place over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work with our processors to keep risks to a minimum.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last reviewed. We recommend checking this page from time to time so that you are aware of any changes.
