School Library Association Guest Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy governs the collection and use of personal information relating to potential and existing Guests and Members.
The School Library Association is committed to abiding by this Privacy Policy, as well as the requirements of applicable laws, in the operation of its business. Please read this policy carefully as it explains the kinds of personal information we collect about you and how it is handled.
By your continued use of our web site, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will generally let you know at the time of collection how we intend to use your personal information. Usually, we collect personal information about you which we require to respond to your inquires for payment processing and for the provision of goods and services to you. We also process your personal information where we are required to do so by law, and for the exercise or defence of legal claims. From time to time, we may contact you for research purposes, or to tell you about our special offers and other services in accordance with your contact preferences. Where appropriate, we will obtain your consent to do so. Personal information collected from you may include your name, payment processing information, postal address, email address, landline or mobile telephone number, delivery details as well as other non sensitive personal information.
We will never sell this information on, or provide access to it for other companies where it is not logistically required, and then we will put a non disclosure and privacy agreement in place beforehand.
THIRD PARTY ADVERTISEMENTS
We will only disclose personal information about you internally and to third parties for processing purposes associated with payment processing, the supply of goods and services, for web site administration, or elsewhere when you have consented to such disclosures, or where such disclosures are required or permitted by law. These third parties we contractually bound only to use personal information to perform the services that we hire them to provide. Where you have agreed that we may do so, we may lease or rent your personal information to selected third parties for their postal or telephone marketing use.
SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard personal information against loss, theft and unauthorised uses, access or modifications. Certain areas of our web sites may be password protected. If you are a user of our web sites and have a password, you can help to preserve your privacy by ensuring that you do not share your password with anyone else.
We take steps to regularly validate the personal information we hold to ensure that the information is accurate and, where necessary, up to date. Information that is no longer required for any valid business purpose, and that we are not required to keep pursuant to any applicable law, will be routinely destroyed by secure means.

CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to add to or amend this privacy policy at our sole discretion, without prior notice to you. Please review our privacy policy on a regular basis to make sure you have read the latest version and you understand what we do with your personal information. Your continued use of our services or our web sites following the posting of changes to these terms means that you consent to those changes.
The SLA holds minimal information about its members, and that information which it does hold is purely to enable it to carry out its duty to its members. The SLA treats all information it holds confidentially and with utmost care. We seek to maintain the highest standards in all aspects of our work, and this is no different.
The SLA seeks to minimise arrangements where we share data, but this is sometimes necessary in order to efficiently carry out services to members. However, where these arrangements are in place we have agreements to ensure that your data is secure and protected.
You can withdraw your consent for us to have and use your data at any time. We will act on these requests in good time, and will seek to mitigate an impact to the services that this would have. Where the services we provide will be impacted we will explain the implications, so that each member can make an informed decision.
You can opt out of receiving any of these services by contacting the SLA office via [email protected] with the subject 'Opt Out'. If you require any further information about anything at all please call the office on 01793 530166.
This version of the privacy policy is effective as of 1st November 2023.
