Privacy Policy

2. How we use your data

We will only use your data in a manner that is appropriate considering the basis on which

that data was collected, as set out in the table at the top of this policy.

For example, we may use your personal information to:

● reply to enquiries you send to us;

● handle donations or other transactions that you initiate;

● where you have specifically agreed to this, send you marketing communications by

email relating to our work which we think may be of interest to you.

​

3. When we share your data

We will only pass your data to third parties in the following circumstances:

● you have provided your explicit consent for us to pass data to a named third party;

​

● we are using a third party purely for the purposes of processing data on our behalf

and we have in place a data processing agreement with that third party that fulfils

our legal obligations in relation to the use of third party data processors; or

● we are required by law to share your data.

In addition, we will only pass data to third parties outside of the EU where appropriate

safeguards are in place as defined by Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

​

4. How long we keep your data

We take the principles of data minimisation and removal seriously and have internal

policies in place to ensure that we only ever ask for the minimum amount of data for the

associated purpose and delete that data promptly once it is no longer required.

Where data is collected on the basis of consent, we will seek renewal of consent at least

every three years.

​

5. Rights you have over your data

You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:

● Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any

time and we will make it as easy as possible for you to do this (for example by

putting ‘unsubscribe’ links at the bottom of all our marketing emails).

● You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your information.

● You have the right of access to your information.

● You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner if you

feel your rights have been infringed.

A full summary of your legal rights over your data can be found on the Information

Commissioner’s website here: https://ico.org.uk/

If you would like to access the rights listed above, or any other legal rights you have over

your data under current legislation, please get in touch with us.

Please note that relying on some of these rights, such as the right to deleting your data, will

make it impossible for us to continue to deliver some services to you. However, where

possible we will always try to allow the maximum access to your rights while continuing to

deliver as many services to you as possible.

Where cookies are used to collect personal data, we list these purposes in section 1 above,

along with other personal data that we collect. However, we also use some cookies that do

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time and will publish the most current

version on our website. If a modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we'll notify

people whose personal data we hold and is affected.
