We collect and use personal information when you contact us, sign up for our communications, register for training or events, become a member, or use our website and Members Area.
We may use your information to:

- send newsletters, blog updates and training information where you have signed up to receive them;

We will not sell your personal information. We may use trusted third-party services to help us provide these services, including email and website analytics providers. These providers may process personal information on our behalf.
Email subscriptions
If you subscribe to our blog, newsletters or training communications, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in the relevant email. You do not need to contact Scottish Women’s Aid to unsubscribe.
Different subscriptions are managed separately, so unsubscribing from one type of communication may not unsubscribe you from others.
Training newsletter subscriptions are managed using MailerLite.
