In carrying out our day to day activities we process and store personal information relating to our supporters, customers, volunteers and guests and we are therefore required to adhere to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998. We take our responsibilities under this act very seriously and we ensure the personal information we obtain is held, used, transferred and otherwise 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.
Personal information is information that can be used to identify you. It can include your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, mobile telephone number, fax number, bank account details and credit/debit card details when you use our online shop. We use a company called Stewardship to process our one off or regular financial support. You can read about their data policy and privacy policy. Stewardship use your information to help process support / gift payments and if you are a UK tax payer they will hold this information so that they can claim Gift Aid on any gift on our behalf. Please note they do not collect information about your actual tax payments, they solely know whether you are a tax payer or not). We collect personal information about you when you ask about our activities, register with us (for example, registering on a discussion board or for a publication), make a donation to us, register for an event/ residential, engage with our social media or message boards, order products and services (such as publications and email newsletters) or otherwise give us personal information.
If you read pages or download information from our website, we may gather information about this use.

Wherever possible, the information we use for this purpose will be aggregated or anonymised, i.e. it will not identify you as an individual visitor to our website.
We do not usually collect sensitive personal information about you unless there is a clear reason for doing so, such as involvement in an event / residential where we need this information to ensure safeguarding, and appropriate checks on volunteers, or care of participants. For some events / residentials we will collect health information so that leaders on our events have the relevant information to care for participants. We will make it clear to you when collecting this information as to what we are collecting and why.
We use Eventbrite or Guestlist to create bookings. Please visit their websites for further information on how they manage and hold any personal data.

We recognise the importance of protecting our supporters and follow the guidance issued by the Institute of Fundraising on treating donors fairly. We believe this helps to support our staff and fundraisers who come into contact with supporters in providing high quality customer care and ensures anyone donating to the charity is in a position to make a free and informed decision. We use Stewardship for our online and regular donations.
Although most of the information we store and process stays within the UK, some information may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area. This may occur if, for example, one of our trusted partner’s servers is located in a country outside the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK, however, we will take steps and aim to ensure that your privacy continues to be protected as outlined in this privacy policy.
