Where there is a legal obligation on the Charity to collect, process and share information with a third party
You are a Volunteer or Trustee of the Charity
We use the information that you have given us in order to:
Keep people informed of the activities of the Charity, including any particular areas of interest about which the person wishes to be kept informed.
To manage any contract between the Charity and the person for the supply or purchase of goods/services.
To meet any legal obligation on the Charity to collect, process and share information with a third party. For example: to meet the legal obligations to collect, process and share with HM Revenue & Customs payroll information on employees of the Charity.
To operate efficiently, effectively and economically and enable the Charity to communicate with its volunteers and Trustees on matters relating to the operation of the charity, eg:
- the holding of meetings;
- providing information about the Charity’s activities – particularly those activities which, by their nature, are likely to be of particular interest to
individual volunteers/trustees;
- seeking help, support and advice from volunteers/trustees, particularly where they have specific knowledge and experience;
- ensuring that any particular needs of the volunteer/trustee are appropriately and sensitively accommodated when organising meetings and other activities of the Charity.
To allow the charity to understand who is using the service in order to maximise the funding options available to it.
We may share this information with any party where we have a legal obligation to do so. Otherwise, we will not provide a person’s personal data to another organisation.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:
Subject consent.
You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us using our Contact Details.
Contractual obligation.
Legal Obligation.
Legitimate Interest.
How we store your personal information
Your information is securely stored.
We keep personal data:
- in the case of data held by subject consent:
the period for which the subject consented to the Charity holding their data;
- in the case of data held by contractual obligation
the period in which that contractual obligation applies and the period for which the Charity reasonably has an interest in being able to identify that contractual information in the event of any retrospective query about it;
- in the case of data held by legitimate interest of the charity:
the period for which that legitimate interest applies. For example: in the case of data subjects who held a role, such as a volunteer, with the Charity the retention period is that for which the Charity reasonably has a legitimate interest in being able to identify that individual’s role in the event of any retrospective query about it;
- in the case of data held by legal obligation:
the period for which the Charity is legally obliged to retain those data.
The Charity shall regularly – not less than every 6 months – review the personal data which it holds and remove any data from its named drives where retention is no longer justified. Such removal shall be made as soon as is reasonably practical, and in any case no longer than 20 working days (of the relevant Data Processor) after retention of the data was identified as no longer justified.
