Reform Radio broadcasts the best in music, arts and culture from Bonded Warehouse, Manchester to the world. Reform Radio is more than just an online station. We’re a revolutionary not-for-profit that uses the engagement of radio to work with and develop new skills in young people struggling to find employment. Our radio community supports the wider community; and so it goes around.
We’re a registered community interest company, meaning our focus is primarily to benefit our local community, rather than to make a profit for shareholders.

When we process your personal information, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection laws. We will always ensure that your personal data will not be used where our interests are overridden by the impact on you.
Where possible we ask for your informed consent, making sure that the consent you are giving is clear and specific.
We also process data for our legitimate interests as an organisation. These cover matters that you’d expect us to be working on for both Reform Radio’s and our community’s benefit.
The following are some examples of instances where we process your data for our legitimate interest:
We also process data to ensure we are meeting legal obligations for our staff, community and learners. These obligations include safeguarding, equality & diversity and employment.
You can opt out of your data being used for data analysis, direct marketing or other reasons by contacting the Data Protection Officer. You will then not receive any further contact in these areas from Reform Radio except to comply with your request.
For our staff, we process data needed through the Contract and Legal Obligation categories. We process the data needed to ensure that we’re upholding our employee’s contracts and statutory requirements around employment, discrimination and health & safety.
We also collect some Special Category Data for safeguarding, research and reporting purposes. This is collected under the basis of Consent & Legitimate Interest of article 6 of UK-GDPR and is processed under the “Not-for-profit bodies”,“Safeguarding of children and individuals at risk” and “Safeguarding of economic well-being of certain individuals” conditions of the UK-GDPR and DPA 2018.
At Reform Radio, we believe that no one should receive unsolicited marketing or communications. To this end we only send direct marketing to those who have given us informed consent through our Consent Form. Those who we directly market to are able to easily hit the unsubscribe button at the bottom of any of our communications, and they’ll be unsubscribed from our mailing lists. Individuals can also unsubscribe by contacting any member of staff, who will be responsible for informing their line manager or the DPO, whichever is appropriate. If you’d like to no longer receive any communications or marketing from us, contact ourplease contact our Data Protection Officer on DPO@reformradio.co.uk or 0161 806 0879.
We review records of our Young People, DJs and others who engage with Reform Radio to ensure your data is as accurate as possible and always appreciate it if you let us know if your contact details change. It is important that we keep your personal data as up to date as possible so that we can continue providing you with the best opportunities and support.
We are committed to protecting your data and therefore it will never be sold to external organisations and will only be disclosed to those acting as agents and data processors carrying out work on our behalf. Where we enter into a relationship with an external party, any such arrangements will be subject to a formal agreement between Reform Radio and that organisation to protect the security of your data. These Parties may include:
Under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 you have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please email the Data Protection Officer or write to us at Data Protection Officer, Reform Radio, Bonded Warehouse, 18 Lower Byrom Street, M3 4AP.

If you do not want to receive any further information about Reform Radio and would like us to remove your name from our mailing list, use the unsubscribe link in the email you have received. You can also contact us using the details above.
We aim to ensure that there are appropriate, physical, technical and managerial controls in place to protect any personal information you may provide to us, for example our online forms are always encrypted and our network is protected and monitored. Within our offices all our staff receive training on handling data securely.
Where we use external companies to collect or process data on our behalf, we carry out comprehensive checks on them before we work with them and ensure that contracts are in place that set out our expectations and requirements. We may need to transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) to allow them to perform services on our behalf (for example invitation or participation in an event outside of the EEA). In doing so your data may be stored or processed outside of the EEA. Where this happens, we will endeavour to ensure that your data is being processed in accordance with the appropriate security requirements in line with our legal responsibilities, and by submitting your details in such circumstances you agree to this transfer.
Despite all of our precautions no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, whilst we will always strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us and so wish to draw your attention that you do so at your own risk.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity. If you request that we stop sending you marketing materials we will keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us, we won’t keep any information that we don’t need.
