Our website helps to connect children, young people, their families, and professionals to services and support for young people locally. 

Our website is managed by www.myriago.com

To do this, we may collect information about you in the following ways:

Who we share your information with

When you sign up for an online portal - either as a young person to leave a review, as a local organisation to list your projects and services, we will never share these details. 

If a person submits information on a project / service enquiry form, Sunderland All Together Consortium CIO does not store the information you have provided. It is emailed directly to the organisation you have enquired with. 

We will ensure your details are kept safe and we’ll never sell or swap your information with any other organisation beyond what is stated above. We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights, property or personal safety of partners, our websites or our visitors and for other lawful purposes.

How we keep your information safe

We make sure that appropriate physical, technical and human controls are in place to ensure we take good care of your information.

However, the transmission of information over the internet is never completely secure and as a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your data, we make every effort to try to ensure its security both on our systems and while in transit between our systems and our partners who work on our behalf.

All staff and volunteers who have access to your personal data understand the importance of keeping your information safe and secure at all times.

We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if you access them using links from our websites and recommend that you check the policy of each site you visit.

We ensure that additional controls are in place for financial, sensitive and special categories of information, meeting regulatory and legal requirements for managing these types of information.

How long we keep your information

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, and meet any legal or regulatory requirement. This is so that we can provide the services, products or information you have requested, to administer your relationship with us, to ensure we don’t communicate with you if you’ve asked us not to and to comply with the law.

You have the right to object to your data being processed by us and can do so by contacting us . 

You can request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you under the General Data Protection Regulation 2018. If you would like to do so, please send a description of the information you would like, as well as approved proof of identity to us.

Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information. Also, if you do use our site to obtain information about accessing support, please let an adult know.
