​

We are not a Commercial or Marketing organisation.  The Beautiful Splint Company is a 'Community Interest Company'.

 

A community interest company is a business with primary social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners. CICs tackle a wide range of social and environmental issues and operate in all parts of the economy. By using business solutions to achieve public good, it is believed that CICs have a distinct and valuable role to play in helping create a strong, sustainable and socially inclusive economy.

What are my rights?

You have the right to withdraw consent to use your personal data at any time.  This can be in the format of verbal or written communication with The Beautiful Splint Company CIC and records will be kept of when consent was given and withdrawn.  There are no penalties for withdrawing consent to use your personal data; however if this is part way through a consultation please note that we may not be able to provide the splint(s) requested as we won't know what we're working towards.  For further information please see the Information Commissioner's Office website.
