Privacy Policy

You may give us your information directly by donating to us through our website, over the telephone or writing to us. You may sign up to one of our events or fundraise on behalf of us.

We also collect your data indirectly through third party online platforms such as Just Giving, Virgin Money Giving or BT My Donate. This will only be done with your consent and you should read the privacy policies of these third party companies before providing them with your information.

There are ways in which you support us, example setting up a regular gift via direct debit, where your information is collected and processed by a third party on our behalf and shared with us.

If you support us, for example by making a donation or attend a fundraising event we will collect your:

• Name
• Address
• Telephone Number
• Email address
• Date of birth
• Whether you are a taxpayer, to enable us to claim Gift Aid
• Bank account details or payment information.

On some occasions we may to need record sensitive personal data, we only do this when there is a clear need to do so such as information about your health if you are participating in a high risk event.
Legal basis for processing
The legal basis used for processing your information will depend on the information collected and what it is used for.

The information collected for processing a donation and gift aid is processed under our legal obligation to keep financial records.

We also process your information under legitimate interest in instances such as to help us understand our supporters better and to make sure we only send information that is relevant to you.

When using legitimate interest to process your information we will always test to ensure that:

• a legitimate interest is identified
• the processing is necessary to achieve it and
• balance it against the individual’s interests, rights and freedom

We endeavour to never use your data in a way you would not reasonably expect and we will respect your right to privacy.

We use your personal data to:

• Process and respond to queries or requests
• Administer your donation, including Gift Aid and help support your fundraising efforts
• Perform analysis to help us with future fundraising activities
• Help us understand your relationship with us
• Add you to the relevant mailing database
• Ensure you are sent the requested marketing material
• Personalise your experience with us

Marketing

We may use your details to provide you with information about our work and to ask you for donations or continued support. Our forms contain clear marketing preference options so you can let us know how you wish for us to communicate with you. All communications will have the option for you opt out of future communications. Alternatively, you can let us know your communication preferences by contacting the marketing office on 0117 9582174 or emailing fundraising@jessiemay.org.uk

Profiling

Profiling allows us to allocate our resources more effectively and helps us make appropriate requests to both current and future supports. We build a profile using information you have already given to us as well as information that is publicly available for example directorships, where you live and any previous donations. This helps us to assess how interested you may be in donating to us and the level of donation you may be able to give.

We do occasionally work with third party organisations such as mailing houses to carry out work on our behalf. Such third parties will be provided with personal data necessary to perform these services but are not authorised to use your information for any other purposes. We only use organisations that we trust and we have signed agreements outlining how they can use the information supplied to them.

We are committed to keeping your data safe and secure and have policies in place to enable us to do this.

We operate a cloud based solution and the data is held on secure servers in the EEA operated by agencies contracted to us. We do not transfer data outside of the EEA.

For all areas of our website which collect personal information we use a secure server but unfortunately no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

All staff and volunteers undertake data protection training relevant to their role. Staff only have access to data that they need to be able to carry out their duties.

We will only keep your information for as long as we need to be able to further our work, taking into consideration our legal obligations and we will not keep it longer than necessary. When destroying information this is always done securely.
