INTRODUCTION
The Open Door Centre (‘we’ or ‘us’) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We are a registered charity under charity number 1151421 and have our registered office at Bloom Building, Unit 1, Abbey Close, Birkenhead, Wirral, CH41 5FQ.
‘Bazaar Solus’ is a therapeutic intervention intended to support young people and young adults around issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress and panic attacks. The programme is remote-based and offers eight sessions of support to help improve symptoms. This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you may provide to us, will be processed by us as part Bazaar Solus. Please read the following carefully to ensure you understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
We keep our privacy policy under regular review. This version was last updated in July 2021.
Our processing of your personal data is governed under the EU General Data Protection Regulation as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom (“UK GDPR”). For the purpose of the UK GDPR, we are a data controller in respect of your personal data.
WE MAY COLLECT AND PROCESS THE FOLLOWING PERSONAL DATA ABOUT YOU:
Contact information you provide to us through our website. We collect information that you provide by filling in forms on https://solus.bazaarmindmarket.co.uk (‘our site’). This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our site, subscribing to our services, posting material and/or requesting further services. This may include but is not limited to your name and job title, contact information including e-mail address, gender, occupation and company details and interests in order to provide you with details of our products and services.
If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence in accordance with our retention policy detailed below.
Usage information we collect automatically through our website. We may collect details of your visits to our site including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, whether this is required for our own billing purposes or otherwise, and the resources that you access. Information relevant to any recruitment process, IP addresses and cookies may also be included.
Aggregated data. We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about users’ browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual.
Our use of cookies. We may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service.
SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA
In addition to the above personal information, we may also process special category (sensitive) data with regards to a participant’s mental health and wellbeing symptoms and demographic information that participants provide to us. The purpose of this processing is to ensure that we can monitor a participant’s progress and that participants are suitably safeguarded. This also helps us to ensure that the support is received by appropriate participants. We will also track responses within sessions utilising quantitative scales for anxiety and depression including clinical tools PHQ-9 and GAD-7 as well as suicidal ideation. There is the opportunity for participants to enter qualitative information about their experiences and progress as far as they feel comfortable in doing so.
If you are completing Bazaar Solus through an external organisation, depending on your response to the suicidal ideation questions which are asked at the beginning of each session, we may pass this information on to your organisation or, in certain circumstance, emergency services.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND OUR SECURITY MEASURES
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. We put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect participants’ personal data, including by limiting access to this information to a small group of staff who need access to ensure the support delivered is safe and appropriate as well as password security measures to manage access to data. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
All our staff are also bound by confidentiality agreements through their contract of employment and the system is only accessible via a password and username function.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
