Privacy Policy

Where we operate an email mailing list program used to inform  subscribers about products, services and/or news we supply/publish users  can subscribe through an online automated process where they have given  their explicit permission. Subscriber personal details are collected,  processed, managed and stored in accordance with the regulations named  in ‘The policy’ above.

Subscribers can unsubscribe at any time through an automated online  service, or if not available, other means as detailed in the footer of  sent marketing messages. The type and content of marketing messages  subscribers receive, and if it may contain third party content, is  clearly outlined at the point of subscription.

Email marketing messages may contain tracking beacons / tracked  clickable links or similar server technologies in order to track  subscriber activity within email marketing messages. Where used, such  marketing messages may record a range of subscriber data relating to  engagement, geographic, demographics and already stored subscriber data.

You can opt out of this anytime by selecting the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the emails we send you.

We collect contact details via the website for the purposes of  providing a service to existing and potential clients, supporters and  subscribers. We will never disclose personal details without the consent  of the owner. Details are only held for as long as is necessary to  fulfil the service request.

We may use your information for the following purposes:

• to operate, manage, develop and promote our organisation, including  managing and administering donations and other support actions;
• to operate, administer and improve our website and premises and other aspects of the way in which we conduct our operations;
• to protect our organisation from fraud, money-laundering, breach of  confidence, theft of proprietary materials and other financial or  business crimes;
• to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and bring and defend legal claims;
  if you have given your consent, to provide you (by electronic means  only) with information about our news, activities, appeals, campaigns  and fundraising;
• if you have given your consent, to allow selected third parties to  contact you about their services or issues which may be of interest to  you;
• to analyse and better understand the composition and interests of our supporter base.

We may from time to time review information about you held in our  systems – including the contents of and other information related to  your email and other communications with us – for compliance and  business-protection purposes as described above. This may include  reviews for the purposes of disclosure of information relevant to  litigation and/or reviews of records relevant to internal or external  regulatory or criminal investigations. To the extent permitted by  applicable law these reviews will be conducted in a reasonable and  proportionate way and approved at an appropriate level of management.  They may ultimately involve disclosure of your information to  governmental agencies and litigation counter-parties as described below.  Your emails and other communications may also occasionally be accessed  by persons other than the member of staff with whom they are exchanged  for ordinary management purposes (for example, where necessary when a  staff member is out of the office or has left).

We will only process your personal information as necessary so that  we can pursue the purposes described above, and then only where we have  concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a  way that would override our legitimate interest in pursuing those  purposes. In exceptional circumstances we may also be required by law to  disclose or otherwise process your personal information. We will tell  you, when we ask you to provide information about yourself, if provision  of the requested information is necessary for compliance with a legal  obligation or, on the other hand, if it is purely voluntary and there  will be no implications if you decline to provide the information.  Otherwise you should assume that we need the information for our  organisation or compliance purposes (as described above). If you are  uncertain as to our need for information that we request from you,  please contact the representative asking for the information, or Contact  us, with your query.

If we are using your sensitive personal data (including personal data  relating to your racial or ethnic origin, political, religious and  philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sexual orientation or  health, we will only do so with your explicit consent or, if otherwise,  only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
