How We Use Your Information:
We will use the information that we collect about you for marketing and promotion, support, and admin. We process personal data under the lawful bases of consent, legitimate interests, or legal obligation, depending on the activity.
If we want to use your information for any other purpose, we will ask you for consent and will use your information only on receiving your consent and then, only for the purpose(s) for which you grant consent, unless we are required to do otherwise by law. Where we collect information about stuttering or disability status, we do so only with your explicit consent and solely for the purposes explained at the point of collection.
Information Collected via Microsoft Forms
We sometimes collect information through Microsoft Forms, including personal data such as name, contact details, and (where relevant) information about stuttering (disability) status. These forms are used to support our programmes, events, and initiatives.
Microsoft acts as a data processor on our behalf. Your responses are stored securely within Microsoft’s cloud services, in accordance with Microsoft’s own Privacy Statement: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy/privacystatement
Each Microsoft Form includes a link to this Privacy Policy so that participants understand how their data will be used and protected. Data collected via Microsoft Forms is only accessible to authorised 50 Million Voices team members and is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose stated when the form was submitted.
Microsoft may store or process your information outside the UK or EEA. Where this happens, Microsoft applies legally recognised data protection safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions, to keep your information secure.
How We Share Your Information:
We will not transfer your personal information to any third party without seeking your consent, except in limited circumstances for analytics purposes.
We require such third parties to use the personal information we transfer to them only for the purpose for which it was transferred and not to retain it for longer than is necessary to fulfill the said purpose.
We may also disclose your personal information for the following:
(1) to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order or other legal process;
(2) to enforce your agreements with us, including this Privacy Policy; or
(3) to respond to claims that your use of the Website violates any third-party rights.

Do note that if you do not allow us to collect or process the required personal information or withdraw the consent to process the same for the required purposes, you may not be able to access or use the Websites for which your information was sought.
