committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy
explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal data in
accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and
the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who We Are

Social Mobility Month is an initiative led by Digilearning, a UK-based
charity focused on improving access to skills, careers and opportunities
for underrepresented communities. For the purposes of data protection
law, Digilearning is the data controller.

What Data We Collect

We may collect and process personal identification data such as your
name, email address and phone number. We may also collect demographic
information including age, education status and employment status where
relevant to programmes. Application data may include CVs and responses
to forms. We also collect usage data such as IP address, browser type
and pages visited, along with communication data such as emails,
messages and event registrations. We only collect data that is necessary
for delivering our services and programmes.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide access to events, programmes and
opportunities, manage applications and participation, communicate with
you about relevant updates, improve our website and services, monitor
impact for reporting purposes (anonymised where possible), and ensure
safeguarding and wellbeing of participants. We will never sell your
personal data.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data based on consent where you have opted in,
legitimate interests to deliver and improve our services, and legal
obligations where required for compliance such as safeguarding and
reporting. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Sharing Your Data

We may share your data with trusted partners where necessary, including
event hosts, partner organisations, service providers such as email and
analytics platforms, and funders or stakeholders in aggregated or
anonymised form. All third parties are required to handle your data
securely and in line with data protection laws.

Data Storage and Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect
your data, including secure systems, restricted access and regular
monitoring. We retain your data only for as long as necessary for the
purposes outlined in this policy.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold
about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of
your data, restrict or object to processing, request data portability
