When we use your information without permission

At times we might use or share your information without your permission. We’ll only do this if there’s a legal basis for it. This could include situations where we have to use or share your information:

• to follow the law, called ‘legal obligation’ – for example, if a court orders us to share information
• to protect someone’s life, called ‘vital interests’ – for example, sharing information with a paramedic if a client was unwell at our office
• to carry out our aims and goals as an organisation, called ‘legitimate interests’ – for example, to create anonymous case studies and statistics for our national research
• for us to carry out a task in the public interest or for our official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law, called ‘public task’ – for example the Consumer Service
• to carry out a contract we have with you, called ‘contract’ – for example, if you’re an employee we might need to store your bank details so we can pay you
• to defend our legal rights – for example, to resolve a complaint that we gave the wrong advice

Using our website – our privacy policy

Your location

With your permission, we collect data on your location – to within 1 square kilometre. You can’t be identified from this information – it’s completely anonymous.

This helps us make sure people are getting the content that applies to where they live.

It also means we can see how demand for our content changes by location – for example, if a lot of people look at housing advice in one area of the country, we can target our services to meet that need or investigate why there are problems with housing in that area.

How we collect your location data

We’ll collect your location data using Google Analytics. When you visit our website for the first time, a box will appear at the top left of your screen telling you that New Teachers NOLA would like to know your location. You can choose to block it, or allow your location to be shared with us.

We’ll never collect your location data on pages about domestic abuse or violence, or on pages about immigration.
