and (c) where required, we rely on your consent (such as for advertising or tracking cookies).

Below is a list of the types of personal data we might process, with typical reasons and lawful bases:

Cookies & tracking

It is possible to use our website without providing personal data. We may collect general information about how you use our website or interact with our services to improve them.
This information may be anonymised and combined with other usage information.

Managing your cookie consents

To opt out of analytics and tracking services, click “Manage cookies” (or “Manage”) on our website cookie banner, or contact us at
info@childrenofadam.net.

Alternatively, you can use a browser plug-in to manage cookies or disable cookies in your browser settings.

Storage & security

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services and meet legal requirements.
Retention periods depend on the service, lawful basis, sensitivity of the data, and applicable national requirements.

Where we store personal data, it may be pseudonymised or secured using encryption and/or industry-standard access controls,
so only authorised people can access it for legitimate service purposes.

Third parties

We may use third-party technologies for storage, analytics, and marketing. We take reasonable precautions to prevent personal data from being shared unless necessary
(for example, where a service requires an email address).

Where personal data is shared, we take steps to ensure it is lawful (for example, with consent or legitimate interests) and we reasonably verify that third-party handling
is GDPR-compliant.

Key terms

Cookies

A cookie is a small file sent to your device when you visit a website. Cookies can store preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse cookies, but some features may not function properly without them. Cookies can be session-based or persistent, and placed by a first party (the site you visit) or a third party with permission.

Explicit consent

Under GDPR, consent must be informed, freely given, and unambiguous. It must be a clear affirmative action (for example, ticking a box) and you must be able to withdraw consent at any time.

IP address

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to devices connected to the internet. It can sometimes indicate the approximate location of a connection and may be static or dynamic.

Lawful basis of processing

This is the legal reason a company uses to process personal data. GDPR includes six lawful bases: consent, legitimate interests, performance of a contract, legal obligation, public interest, and vital interests.

Legal or similarly significant effects

Processing can have legal effects if it impacts your rights or legal status. “Similarly significant effects” can influence your circumstances, behaviour, or choices, including job prospects or targeted advertising that exploits vulnerabilities.

Non-personally identifiable information

Information recorded about users that no longer identifies an individual person.

Personal data

Information that identifies you, such as your name, email address, billing information, or other data reasonably linked to you.

Pixel tag

A pixel tag is technology placed on a website or email to track activity (for example, whether an email is opened), often used with cookies.

Processing (of data)

“Processing” means doing anything with personal data, such as collecting, storing, using, disclosing, or deleting it.

Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is processing personal data so it cannot be attributed to a specific person without additional information, kept separately and protected with technical and organisational measures.

Special categories of personal data

GDPR defines special categories as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, health data, and sex life or sexual orientation.

Supervisory authority

A supervisory authority is an independent public authority responsible for GDPR enforcement. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): Water Lane, Wycliffe House, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. Email: international.team@ico.org.uk, Phone: +44 1625 545 745.
