Live Well B&NES Privacy Notice

The purpose of collecting personal data from those registering their service/organisation on Live Well B&NES is to ensure we have contact details for a service/organisation to help them maintain their record on our website. We will use this information to contact you when your record needs updating, usually every 12 months. This information is stored on Live Well B&NES and only accessed by authorised staff.
