Privacy Policy

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

[table id=1 /]

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 agreed to this, send you marketing communications by email relating to our work which we think may be of interest to you

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use Harlequin’s CRM software to safely store and process your data

We do not have access to your medical records or are shared these by UHCW NHS Trust

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 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

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

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
