The type of personal information we collect and process

The following table explains the types of data we collect and the legal basis, under current data protection legislation, on which this data is processed.

rely on for processing this information are:

(a) Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us through the below channels.

How we get the personal information and why we have it.

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the reasons detailed in the table above.

We also receive personal information indirectly for the purposes of our charity’s operations and providing support and administration to our stakeholders, for example third party fundraising platforms who allow supporters to fundraise for our charity through their systems.

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 above table.

For example, we may use your personal information in order for us 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.

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.
