Information we collect from you

How do we collect information from you?

We obtain information about you when you use our website, contact our helpline; call our office; attend one of our events; donate; and/or take part in a fundraiser.

What type of information is collected from you?

This can depend on why you are contacting the charity.

If you are calling or emailing the helpline, the personal data we might collect will be stored securely on our database and only sent to a third party with your permission.  Our system only enables sending personal data to third parties if you expressly give permission to progress the support we offer you.

Generally, details of this information will be retained for 5 years and will then be anonymised for research purposes.  However, if we are continuing to support you beyond a 5-year period this information will be securely retained. The anonymised data enables the charity to analyse its performance and the number of people it is supporting.

If you attend one of our events your data will be collected by the event site, which is currently Wix.  Click here to review Wix’s EU data protection policy. About Privacy | WIX

As a data processor we can download the information stored by Wix but will only contact you if you have agreed to opt-in to receive information about our events. An opt-in facility is built into Wix forms.

As some of our events are filmed, we understand that photographs and filmed images of people are considered personal data as they can be identified by these images.  Prior to any events which are being filmed, all attendees will be asked when booking their tickets to consent to them being filmed. There will also be notices clearly marked at the venue and all attendees will be required to sign a simple consent form when they register on the day.

If you do not wish to opt-in your personal details will be deleted and only the number of attendees and if available, their place of residence will be kept for evaluation purposes.
