Privacy Policy

To deliver this Website to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal data outside the EEA, for example our service providers located outside the EEA . These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection laws. Some of these non-EEA countries may not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. We will, however, ensure the transfer complies with data protection law and all personal data will be secure. Our standard practice is to use standard data protection contract clauses which have been approved by the European Commission. If you would like further information please contact us as indicated under the How to Contact Us section below.

​

​​DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

In processing your personal data, we may share your personal data in the following ways:

​

• To our vendors and service providers who support our business (including Donorbox, for processing any donations made via the Website), such as by providing technical infrastructure services, analysing how our Website is used and providing customer and IT support services;

• With law enforcement or in response to legal requests if required to do so by law; and

• If the ownership or control of all or part of our charitable business changes (including assets such as the App), we may transfer your information to the new owner.

 

DATA SECURITY

We employ security measures to protect your personal data from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We will take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of security protection where it is processed and your rights continue to be protected.

The transmission of information using Wi-Fi networks and cellular data networks may not be completely secure. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us using the Website and any such transmission is made at your own risk.

 

DATA RETENTION

We will keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so, or as required by law (e.g. for tax, legal, accounting or other purposes), whichever is the longer.

​

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we use your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.

 

CHILDREN

Due to the nature of our activities and the purpose of the Website, we hold personal data relating to children and young people when they access the Website. These details are held with the explicit consent of the child’s parents/guardian or a young person themselves if they are Fraser competent. We ensure this data is appropriately protected by us and any third-party we disclose it to.

 

YOUR RIGHTS

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

​

• Right of access: If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal data along with certain other details. If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee.

• Right to rectification: If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to ask that we correct or complete it. If we shared your personal data with others, we will tell them about the correction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data so you can contact them directly.

• Right to erasure: You may ask us to delete or remove your personal data, such as where you withdraw your consent. If we shared your data with others, we will tell them about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data with so you can contact them directly.

• Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to restrict or 'block' the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to us processing it. We will tell you before we lift any restriction on processing. If we shared your personal data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data so you can contact them directly.

• Right to data portability: You have the right to obtain your personal data from us that you consented to give us or that was provided to us as necessary in connection with our contract with you. We will give you your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You may reuse it elsewhere.

• Right to object: You may ask us at any time to stop processing your personal data, and we will do so, if we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your personal data - unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing.

• Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: You have the right to be free from decisions based solely on automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which produce a significant legal effect on you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us, or with your explicit consent.

• Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing of your data before we received notice that you wished to withdraw your consent.

• Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: If you have a concern about our privacy practices, including the way we handled your personal data, you can report it to UK Information Commissioner's Office (" ICO"). You can find details about how to do this on the ICO website at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ or by calling their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
