Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Tara Centre Omagh respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us. This Privacy Statement explains what information we may collect through our website, how we use it, how we protect it and your rights in relation to your personal information.
Who We Are
The Tara Centre is based in Omagh, Co. Tyrone. We provide a range of services, courses, programmes and activities to support individuals and the wider community.
For the purposes of applicable UK data protection legislation, Tara Centre is responsible for the personal information collected through this website.
Information We Collect
We only collect personal information through our website when you choose to provide it to us.
The main ways in which we may collect information through this website are when you:
- Contact us using our online contact form
- Choose to subscribe to our mailing list
Contact Form
If you contact us through the contact form on our website, we may collect information such as:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your telephone number, if requested or provided
- The contents of your enquiry or message
We use this information to receive, manage and respond to your enquiry and to communicate with you where necessary in relation to that enquiry.
Submitting an enquiry through our contact form does not subscribe you to our mailing list.
We do not take the contact details supplied through general enquiries and add them to our marketing or mailing lists. You will only receive mailing list communications if you have separately chosen to subscribe.
Mailing List
Our website gives visitors the option to voluntarily subscribe to the Tara Centre mailing list.
When you sign up, we may collect information such as your name and email address. We use this information to send you Tara Centre news, information, updates and other relevant communications.
Our mailing list is managed using Mailchimp. When you choose to subscribe, the information you provide will therefore be processed by Mailchimp on our behalf for the purpose of managing and delivering our email communications.
Signing up to our mailing list is entirely optional and separate from contacting us through the website.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link provided at the bottom of our mailing list emails. Once you unsubscribe, you will no longer receive these communications from us unless you choose to subscribe again.
Course and Programme Bookings
We do not currently take bookings or payments for courses, programmes or activities directly through this website.
If you would like to book a course, programme or other activity, you will need to contact Tara Centre directly, for example by telephone or using the contact details provided on this website.
Any personal information collected directly by Tara Centre as part of a booking or registration will be used for purposes connected with administering your booking, communicating with you and providing the relevant service, course or programme.
How We Use Your Personal Information
Depending on how you interact with us, we may use the personal information you provide to:
- Receive and respond to enquiries
- Communicate with you about an enquiry you have made
- Provide information that you have requested from us
- Manage our mailing list where you have specifically chosen to subscribe
- Send Tara Centre news and updates to mailing list subscribers
- Administer our services where appropriate
- Maintain the operation and security of our website
- Comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements
We will not use information submitted through our contact form to send you unsolicited marketing communications.
Our Legal Basis for Using Your Information
UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:
- You have asked us to take steps in response to an enquiry or request
- It is necessary for our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and operating our services
- You have provided your consent, such as when you choose to subscribe to our mailing list
- We are required to process the information to comply with a legal obligation
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to other organisations.
We may share or process information through trusted third-party service providers where this is necessary to operate our website or services. This may include:
- Our website hosting and technical service providers
- Mailchimp, which we use to manage our mailing list and email communications
These organisations may process personal information on our behalf in order to provide their services.
We may also disclose personal information where we are legally required to do so or where it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We will only retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with any applicable legal or administrative requirements.
Information submitted through our contact form will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage and respond to your enquiry and any subsequent correspondence.
Information provided when subscribing to our mailing list will normally be retained while you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in our emails.
Cookies
Like many websites, our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that can help a website function correctly, remember preferences and provide information about how the website is being used.
Some cookies may be essential for the operation and security of the website. Other cookies, such as those used for analytics or other non-essential functionality, may require your consent before they are placed on your device.
Where required, you will be given the opportunity to manage your cookie preferences when visiting our website.
Website Analytics
We may use website analytics services to help us understand how visitors use our website. This can provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors navigate through the website and general information about website usage.
We use this information to monitor the performance of our website and help us improve its content and usability.
Where analytics involves the use of non-essential cookies or similar technologies, these will only be used where the appropriate consent has been provided.
Keeping Your Information Secure

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
