This website is operated by Free to Be SHE Ltd (company number 16499821), trading as Free to Be SHE™. Some services are delivered through Free to Be SHE (NW) CIC (company number 17040944), a separate community interest company.
The data controller for your information depends on which service you're engaging with. Free to Be SHE Ltd is the data controller for the Programme, Retreats, One-to-One Coaching, Therapies and Wellbeing, and Speaking. Free to Be SHE (NW) CIC is the data controller for CIC programme applications and funding assessments.
If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, contact: info@freetobeshe.com · 07834 478075 · Next Chapter, 7 Ingleby Road, Wallasey, CH44 3AJ.
When you use the contact form, or apply for the programme, a retreat, coaching, therapies, speaking, or the CIC, we collect what you provide: your name, email address, telephone number, what you're interested in, and any message or details you choose to share.
Retreat applications and therapy bookings may involve you disclosing health information (for example, medical conditions, injuries, or matters relevant to your safety during physical activities or treatments). This is "special category data" under UK GDPR and is only used to keep you safe during your time with us, with your explicit consent at the point you provide it. It is not used for any other purpose and is not shared beyond what is necessary for your care.
If you apply for a subsidised or fully funded place through Free to Be SHE™ CIC, we may ask about your financial circumstances to assess eligibility. This is also special category / sensitive data, handled confidentially and used only for that assessment.
If you sign up to the Free to Be SHE™ Community newsletter, we collect your email address (and name, if given) to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
If you give permission for your testimonial, name, and/or photograph to be used on this website or in marketing materials, we hold and use only what you've agreed to, and will remove it at your request at any time.
Our legal basis for most of this is either that it's necessary to fulfil a contract with you (e.g. booking a retreat), your explicit consent (e.g. health information, newsletter sign-up), or our legitimate interest in running and improving the business.
We use a small number of third-party services to run this website and business. As of today, that includes:
We do not sell your personal data to anyone, under any circumstances.
Some of the services above (including FormSubmit) may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on their own data protection safeguards.
