About this notice
HIP is a developing philosophy initiative. This policy applies to this website and to information you provide when getting in touch about HIP. We will update it before adding services such as newsletters, applications, payments, accounts, or events that collect more information.
Information we may receive
If you contact HIP, you may choose to share your name, email address, organisation or role, and the contents of your message. Our website host may also process limited technical information needed to deliver the site, such as device, browser, IP address, and cookie-related information.
How we use information
We use information only to respond to an enquiry, operate and protect the website, and understand whether our communications are working. Where we introduce optional updates or participation opportunities, we will ask clearly for consent where it is needed.
Young people and sensitive information
HIP aims to make philosophy welcoming for younger people. Please do not send sensitive personal, health, or safeguarding information through a general website enquiry. If HIP begins offering youth programmes, we will publish clear, age-appropriate privacy information and safeguarding contact routes before collecting participant information.
Sharing and keeping information
HIP does not sell personal information. We may use trusted providers to host and maintain the website, but only where needed to run it. We keep information only for as long as needed to respond to an enquiry, maintain appropriate records, or meet a legal obligation.
Your choices and rights
You can ask to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the use of your information. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. To make a request, please use the contact route shown on this website.
Changes and contact
We will update this page when HIP’s activities or technology change. Please contact us with any questions at contact@harrowphilosophy.org.uk.
