Purposes and lawful bases

We use information to answer messages, process Join Us enquiries, organise event attendance, manage parent or guardian consent, support participant safety, keep event records, send subscribed newsletter updates, and communicate the organisation's work. Depending on the situation, processing may be based on consent, legitimate interests, legal obligations, or steps requested by the person contacting us.
