Privacy route
Newsletter privacy information
A newsletter should be clear, optional and easy to leave.
Newsletter sign-up is not open during the limited launch. This page explains the proposed email-only route and the privacy controls PUCIC will use before it opens.
The newsletter will use a simple, separate route — never a referral or safeguarding channel.
At a glance
Privacy choices should be easy to see before anyone signs up.
What will be collected
When sign-up opens, PUCIC will ask for an email address, a 13+ declaration and separate newsletter consent only.
How it will work
The intended route uses a separate double-opt-in email service; it is never a referral or safeguarding channel.
How long it will be kept
When active, subscription data will be kept while a person remains subscribed. After opt-out, a minimal suppression record will be retained for 24 months to respect that choice, then securely deleted.
Before sign-up opens
Consent comes before confirmation.
PUCIC will not open newsletter sign-up until the selected email service, separate affirmative consent, 13+ declaration, double-opt-in confirmation, unsubscribe route and retention controls have been configured and tested.
When that route opens, it will ask only for an email address, a confirmation that the person is 13 or over, and a separate affirmative choice to receive the newsletter. It will not be used for referrals, course enquiries, safeguarding concerns or casework.
The sender will be Phoenix UTD CIC using info@pucic.co.uk. Each email will provide a clear unsubscribe route.
Keeping different records separate
Newsletter subscriptions are not course enquiries.
The newsletter will keep only subscription-related data when it opens. Phoenix UTD CIC’s approved course-enquiry policy is separate: course-enquiry records are retained for no longer than 12 months after the last meaningful contact, then securely deleted unless the individual becomes a learner, a legal obligation requires further retention, or an active dispute justifies a documented extension.
