Autism Berkshire is committed to protecting your privacy and security.

This policy explains how and why we use your personal data, to ensure you remain informed and in control of your information.
Since May 2018, Autism Berkshire has asked its supporters to “opt-in” for communications regarding services, fundraising and volunteering activities. This is due to a change to the rules which govern how we can communicate with you and a new regulation on personal data (the General Data Protection Regulation) which came into force on the 25th of May 2018.
Following the ending of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020, the UK government incorporated EU GDPR into the UK GDPR, which sits alongside an amended Data Protection Act 2018.
We introduced a new approach that relies on you giving us your consent about how we can contact you. This means you’ll have the choice as to whether you want to receive these messages and be able to select how you want to receive them (email, phone or post).
You can decide not to receive communications or change how we contact you at any time. If you wish to do so, please contact Autism Berkshire by emailing contact@autismberkshire.org.uk or writing to Autism Berkshire, Quadrant House, Broad Street Mall, Reading, RG1 7QE or telephoning 01189 594 594 (option 1).
We will never sell your personal data, and will only ever share it with organisations we work with following prior consent from you or in the event of a safeguarding concern and if its privacy and security are guaranteed.
Any questions you have in relation to this policy or how we use your personal data should be sent to contact@autismberkshire.org.uk and addressed to The Data Protection Officer.
