If you are a volunteer, please ask to see our ‘Privacy statement for our employees’.
We only share personal data with another organisation if we have a legal basis to do so.
In all the above situations, we will ensure that we have a written contract (or valid legal instruction) in place with the organisation that includes data protection clauses to ensure that they do not use personal data for their own marketing purposes, and have security requirements in place to protect your personal data.
Where we have your consent. For example, we will only send you emails, make telephone calls or send you SMS text messages with your consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time (See ‘Your rights over your personal data’ section).
Where the processing is necessary to enter into or fulfil the terms and conditions of a contract. For example, processing your donation made to us.
Where the processing is required under the law. For example, disclosing your personal data to a law enforcement agency if we receive a valid legal instruction.
Where the processing is our legitimate interest. For example, we may send marketing materials to your postal address and social media account if you haven’t told us not to or opted out using another method such as a marketing preference service. We will only rely on this legal basis if we believe your interests and fundamental rights do not override our legitimate interest. (See ‘Your rights over your personal data’ section).
