Information we collect and how we use it

The Staying BRiTE project will collect personal information in order to properly and efficiently carry out its functions. The project only uses personal information for the purpose(s) for which it was given to the Staying BRiTE project and for directly related purposes (unless otherwise required by or authorised by law) or as consented to by the individual concerned.

Communication - Emails and Electronic Forms

The Staying BRiTE servers record your email address if you send us a message online. Your email address will not be added to any mailing lists that are not related to the Staying BRiTE project.

Where you choose to send us a completed electronic form that includes your personal details, we collect personally identifiable information such as email address, location, gender and age.  

The information collected by email or electronic forms will be used only for the purpose for which you provided it, and we will not disclose it to anyone outside of the Staying BRiTE project.
