The principles

Whether we are acting as a data controller or processor we continue to apply the UK GDPR principles to all personal and sensitive data that we hold or process, and these principles lie at the heart of our approach to processing personal data.

  1. Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals.
  2. Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes.
  3. Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.
  4. Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased, or rectified without delay.
  5. Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals.
  6. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

We use third parties who provide elements of our services for us. We have contracts in place with these third parties who are data processors (the people who process personal information on our behalf). This means they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. We will apply the following considerations at all times:

  • They will not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us.
  • They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct them to.
  • We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services.

  • If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.
  • We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.
  • We will not share your information with any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing.
  • We will not transfer any personal data out with the UK or European Economic Area or to any third party without your knowledge.

We may be required to transfer your information to a third party as part of a division/merger/sale of some or all of our business assets as part of any restructuring or reorganisation of the business.

We may also be required to disclose or share your personal data to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our trustees, members, volunteers, supporters, contractors, and customers.
