If you fail to provide personal information

Where we need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to process your donation but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3) How is your personal information collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

• Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity Information, Contact Information, Financial Information and Transaction Information by making a donation or by corresponding with us by contact form, post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal information you provide when you:

4) How we use your personal information

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
• Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

We may also collect information about how you use our website and our Cookies Policy has information about how we use cookies on our website. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

If you telephone us to make a donation, we will use the information that you provide to process the donation.

If you send a query, complete a living tribute form or send a complaint to us, we will use the personal information you have provided to use (for example, your name and the names of any other individuals involved) in order to process you query, the living tribute or complaint and respond to you.

Where we consider it necessary or appropriate we will share the information that you have provided with third parties such as the Information Commissioners’ Office or the Charity Commission.

Refer to the “Glossary” to find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal information.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

5) Disclosures of your personal information

We may share your personal information with:

• External Third Parties as set out in the “Glossary”
• Third parties to whom we may choose to merge. If we merge the newly merged entity may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6) International transfers

We do not transfer your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

7) Information security

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

• We hold data on our computers which are protected by a virus protection programmes.
• We store papers in lockable cabinets in our offices when not being actively used and we have a secure off-site document storage facility for archived papers.
• Our offices are secure and only personnel holding appropriate security passes can access areas where personal information are stored.
• When necessary, we dispose of or delete your data securely.
• We ensure that our employees, agents and contractors are aware of their privacy and data security obligations and we take reasonable steps to ensure that employees of third parties working on our behalf are aware of their privacy and data security obligations.
• We limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a need to know.

The transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your electronic information transmitted to us and any transmission is at your own risk.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8) How long will you use my personal information for?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.

Our default retention period for personal information is 7 years from the date we receive the information, unless otherwise specified by law.

We will retain personal information collected about another individual through a living tribute form for a period of 6 months.

We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see “Your legal rights” below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We review the personal information (and the categories of personal information) we hold on a regular basis to ensure the data we are holding is still required and is accurate. If we discover that certain data we are holding is no longer necessary or accurate, we will take steps to correct or delete that data.

9) Your legal rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Ask us to correct personal information that we hold about you which is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate.

In certain circumstances, you also have the right to:

• Ask us to erase your personal information from our files and systems where there is no good reason for us continuing to hold it.
• Object to us using your personal information to further our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) or where we are using your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Ask us to restrict or suspend the use of your personal information, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or our reasons for using it.
• Ask us to transfer your personal information to another person or organisation.

If you have given your consent to us processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact Richard O’Connor and Kadhum Shanshol, Trustees on cprt45@yahoo.co.uk.  Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your personal information and, subject to our retention policy, we will dispose of your data securely.

You also have rights in relation to automated decision making which has a legal effect or otherwise significantly affects you. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces significant legal effects concerning you.

If you want to exercise any of these rights, please contact Richard O’Connor and Kadhum Shanshol, Trustee on cprt45@yahoo.co.uk in writing.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
