Information (data) we collect from internal and external guests

Like many modern companies, Second Wave uses cloud solutions to collaborate with internal and external guests users on various projects. If you have received an invite from us to collaborate on online projects, then we are required to collect some data from you. This data pertains to verifying your identity for the purposes of safeguarding our members and maintain relevant confidentiality to the best of our ability. Your data, that which is shared by you, may also then appear on the joint collaboration platform (such as your name when you comment on an asset). We do not sell or pass on your data to a third party for any purposes. If you have questions about online collaboration, please email Hena on hena@secondwave.org.uk
