Privacy policy
Who we are
Summit AP CIC is an alternative provision based at Hastingwood Business Park, Wood Lane, Birmingham B24 9QR. We are the data controller for personal information submitted through this website.
Information we collect
We collect only the information you choose to send us. For professional enquiries this includes your name, role, school or organisation, email address, telephone number and the details of your enquiry. Referral enquiries may include limited information about a young person, such as year group and identified needs. For prize draws and competitions, we collect the details you provide on the entry form, which typically includes your name and a contact method such as an email address or phone number.
How we use it
Information is used solely to respond to your enquiry, to consider whether a placement or service is suitable, and to arrange follow up conversations. Prize draw entry information is used only to administer the draw, contact the winner and arrange delivery of the prize. Unless you ask to be added to our mailing list, we will not use prize draw entries to send marketing and we do not sell or share personal information with third parties for commercial purposes.
Prize draws and competitions
When you enter a Summit AP CIC prize draw or competition, the information you submit is used to contact the winner and fulfil the prize. We retain prize draw entry data for up to 12 months after the draw closes, then securely delete it. We do not share entries with third parties except where a winner has consented to their name being published. If you would like your entry removed before the retention period ends, contact admin@summitalternative.org.uk and we will delete it on request.
Lawful basis
We process professional enquiry information on the basis of legitimate interests, and information relating to a young person on the basis of our public task and safeguarding responsibilities, in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Sharing information
We may share information with a referring school, local authority or other agency where this is necessary to progress a placement, and with statutory partners where there is a safeguarding duty to do so.
Retention
Enquiry correspondence is retained only for as long as needed to respond and to keep an accurate record of placement discussions, after which it is securely deleted. Records relating to safeguarding are retained in line with statutory guidance.
Your rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, to have inaccuracies corrected, and to request deletion where we have no ongoing obligation to retain it. To make a request, or to raise a concern, please contact admin@summitalternative.org.uk.
