Version 3 : Date 13/04/2024 

Please read this Data Protection and GDPR Policy before providing us with any personal information. When you do provide any personal information it means that you accept and agree to this Privacy policy.

 

Introduction

We take your privacy seriously and we respect your privacy and data rights. We aim to be transparent when we collect data and not do anything you wouldn’t reasonably expect.

 The difference between Personal information and Non-identifiable information is shown below.

• Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, for example your name, email address or phone number, or your date of birth.
• Non-identifiable information is information that our system records in order to use our services. It is not possible to identify you using this data. This data may include the page you are browsing, the OS you are using and the browser you are using.

 

In addition, we use ‘cookies’ when you use our website – small text files that make interacting with our website faster and easier.  Further information can be found in our ‘cookies policy’

 Developing a better understanding of our supporters through their personal data allows us to make better decisions, fundraise more effectively and ultimately help us to achieve the objectives of the Will Garvey Trust Foundation (WTF).

Below we summarise the collection and usage of this personal information and how it is subsequently managed.

If you have any queries about this policy please contact the Will Garvey Trust Foundation via email at: Info@willgarveytrustfoundation.org.uk

Collection of Personal data

General

• In carrying out our normal activities, we may process and store personal information and we are therefore required to adhere to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018(DPA). We take our responsibilities under this act very seriously and ensure personal information we obtain is held, used, transferred and processed in accordance with that Act and all other applicable data protection laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations and General Data Protection Regulation.

1. Name
2. Address
3. Age
4. Donation
5. Telephone number
6. Email address

 

Personal data given directly by you to us (Will Garvey Trust Foundation)

• Your personal information may be shared with us by independent event/service organisers, who we are working with to achieve our charity’s objectives. Examples include Total Giving who manage donations to the Charity and clubs/societies that we work with (for example, rugby clubs, football clubs). These independent third parties will only share your personal data with us when you have indicated that you have given your consent to share it. To better understand how these sites or groups will process your data, you can check the Privacy Policies on their websites or directly with them.

• Sometimes information may be available to us from third party sites where you have given permission for this data to be accessible (e.g. Facebook). Please ensure you regularly check your personal privacy settings for social media and messaging services to make sure you only give permission for access to personal data that you want to be shared.

 

Children’s personal data (aged under16)

• We want to protect the privacy of children aged 16 or under who may access our website or social media accounts or make contact with us in other ways. Where possible and appropriate anyone aged 16 or under should get their parent/guardian’s permission before providing us with any personal information. In addition, where possible and appropriate we will always seek consent from a parent or guardian before collecting personal information about children.

Usage of data

We may use your personal data to

• make sure that our website content is presented in the best way for you and your device

In addition

• In some instances, we may collect and use personal information where this is necessary in our ‘legitimate interest’ as a charity. We only ever collect this data within the confines of the law and balanced against your rights as an individual and use that data in a way or for a purpose that you would reasonable expect, in accordance with this policy.
• We may disclose your Personal Data where it complies with a court order or other legal process or request by law enforcement authorities or to defend WTF against any legal claims or protect WTF in the case of suspected fraud or defamation.
