Collecting personal information

In carrying out our day-to-day activities we process and store personal information relating to our supporters. 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, bank account details, debit/credit card details and whether you are a UK taxpayer so that we can claim Gift Aid (please rest assured we do not collect information about your actual tax payments, just whether you are a taxpayer). We collect information in the following ways:

Information you give us directly.
For example, when you make a donation to us, fundraise for us, register for an event, engage with us on social media or otherwise provide us with personal information. When you register for fundraising or make a donation, we’ll ask for personal information – like your name, address, email and telephone number to store with your account.

When you give it to us indirectly.
Your information may be shared with us by independent organisations such as online fundraising services, fundraisers taking part in events, funeral directors, solicitors and other similar intermediate organisations. Those people will only provide us with information when you have indicated that you want to support Head to Toe Charity, and with your consent. If you have any concerns about the use and transfer of such information you should check their privacy policies when you provide your information to understand how they will process the information you give them.
 

When you give permission to other organisations to share it.
Depending on the privacy and settings you may apply to social media and messaging apps such as Facebook and Twitter, you might provide permission for us to access information from your accounts with those services. You may also provide information for third party organisations to share your information with us where you require us to contact you when you are interested in making a donation.
 

From other publicly available information sources.
In some cases, for example to verify your address or post code when we have a legitimate reason to contact you (for example the information on a donation form is illegible), we reserve the right to use publicly available sources of information such as Google and other search engines to ensure the accuracy of the information we hold about you.
 

Information we get from your use of our website.
We collect information about your website and social media usage and engagement using cookies, page-tagging techniques, and data analytics available through each social media platform (where applicable).

Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive. This is known as ‘sensitive personal data’ and covers health information, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not usually collect sensitive personal data about our supporters unless there is a clear reason for doing so. However, we may also collect sensitive personal data if you make the information public or if you tell us about your experiences relating to a personal health condition, the NHS or CPFT.

This will enable us to provide you with information about a particular healthcare area that may be relevant and of interest to you. We will always make it clear to you when we collect this information from you, what sensitive personal data we are collecting and why. Our staff members are trained to handle your information correctly and to protect your confidentiality and privacy.
 

Our website.
All Head to Toe Charity pages are subject to CPFT’s online Privacy Policy. For all areas of our websites which collect personal information then the following will also apply:

  • Head to Toe Charity websites collect personal information when you register, supply feedback or complete any form with us. As part of the registration process and continued use of Head to Toe Charity services, you agree that any information you submit to the Charity will always be accurate, correct and up to date.
  • We collect and retain information about your transactions, interactions, and communications with us so that we can process your transactions and deal with future queries efficiently and effectively.
  • We use cookies to provide you with a good experience when browsing our website and to improve the functionality of our site.

  • If you post or send any content that we believe to be inappropriate, offensive or in breach of any laws, such as defamatory content on our forums or social media pages, we may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your internet provider or law enforcement agencies.

Your debit and credit card information.
If you use your credit or debit card to donate to us, buy something or pay for a registration online or over the phone, we will ensure that this is done securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. You can find out more information about PCI DSS here. All donations to us by debit or credit card are made via trusted third-party processors. Your debit or credit card details are never received or stored by the Charity. Those companies who take donations on our behalf are: Blackbaud Merchant Services, PayPal (and Zettle), JustGiving and Virgin Money Giving. These companies ensure your data is processed safely and securely. For further information about how they process and store your data when making a donation please visit their websites.

How might we use your data?

We may use your information for a number of purposes including the following:

  • If you make a financial gift
  • If you apply for a grant
  • If you register to fundraise for us
  • If you attend an event
  • If you apply for a job or volunteer role
  • If you provide feedback, suggestions or make a complaint.
  • If you ask us for information relating to our work or services provided.
  • To provide you with information about our charitable activities

Please be aware that we may supplement the personal information we collect from you with publicly available information to create a profile of your interests, preferences and level of potential donations so that we can contact you in the most appropriate way and with the most relevant information if you have agreed to being contacted.

To comply with our obligations as a charity, we must take reasonable and appropriate steps to know who our donors are, particularly where significant sums are being donated. This due diligence may include research, or the access of information which is already publicly available, on prospective donors, partners, or volunteers. Any information we do collect for this purpose will only consist of what is necessary for us to meet these requirements and will be processed in line with your rights – see the section ‘Your rights’ below for more information about your rights.

If you give us your information whilst making a donation, registering for fundraising, applying for grant funding or any other charitable purpose we are required to store and process that data for administration and auditing purposes and we will keep your information for as long as is required to enable us to operate our services but will not keep your information for any longer than necessary. Under the UK GDPR and the DPA, we must have a legal reason to collect, keep and use your data. We rely on the following legal basis for processing your data:

Consent

Legitimate Interests.
We process your personal data for our legitimate interests to allow us to run The Prince’s Trust as a charitable entity effectively and in pursuit of our objectives. When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection laws.

We will always ensure that your personal data will not be used where our interests are overridden by the impact on you. This does not include using your personal information for marketing purposes unless you have agreed we can do so. We rely on obtaining your consent to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes. This is the case, for example, where we seek to obtain your consent to receive email marketing about the Head to Toe Charity. For more information on marketing communications, please see the ‘Marketing materials’ section of this notice.

Marketing materials. 
When you contact us and provide us with your information – for example, when making a donation, registering for fundraising or applying for a grant – we may contact you by post, email, telephone or text for administration purposes relating to the reason you have contacted us. We also like to contact you to tell you how your support has made a difference through the Charity, give you updates and details about our work, let you know about our fundraising and how you can get involved.

We do this by post and email. These are known as marketing materials. It is your choice as to whether you want to receive marketing materials from us; how you want to receive them and the types of material you want to receive. You will only ever get marketing materials from us if you have consented to receive them and only ever by the method(s) you tell us. We will not use your information for marketing purposes if you have indicated to us that you do not wish to be contacted for such purposes.

At the point at which we collect your data – for example, when making a donation, registration forms, Gift Aid declarations – we will ask you what for these contact preferences. This can be digitally, verbally and/or in paper format. If you do not want us to use your personal information for marketing purposes please indicate your preferences at this point. Two years after your most recent contact or donation – unless you tell us otherwise when we contact you – we will archive/suppress your personal information and you will no longer receive marketing materials from us.

You can also change your contact preferences at any time by contacting us on 01223 219708 or emailing charity@cpft.nhs.uk or by updating your contact preferences using the form on our website. You can also opt-out of our marketing emails by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the end of the email.

We store your personal information as an account on our Charity’s database and on a financial ledger and, in certain circumstances, in a paper format. We will retain certain information in respect of donations and financial transactions securely for as long as the law requires to for tax and accounting purposes (generally seven (7) years). When your information is no longer required, we will ensure it is deleted and/or disposed of in a secure manner at the appropriate time.

(The EU-US Privacy Shield Framework is designed by the US Department of Commerce and the European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce).

By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing at a location outside the EEA. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is kept secure and in accordance with UK legislation and guidance on restricted transfers Information sharing and disclosure We do not, and will never, buy, sell or swap your personal information with any third parties. We may share your information with parties who provide a service to us and are our data processors.

These are trusted partner organisations that work with us in connection with our charitable purposes, and other entities that act as fundraisers for the Charity, sell Head to Toe Charity products or provide Charity information and marketing (subject to your communication preferences and our internal policies and procedures). Our trusted partners are required to comply strictly with our instructions and data protection laws, and we will make sure that appropriate controls are in place.

We enter into contracts with all of our data processors and regularly monitor their activities to ensure they are complying with Head to Toe Charity policies and procedures. We may disclose your information to third parties where we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies), or in order to enforce or apply our rights (including in relation to our website or other applicable terms and conditions) or to protect the Charity, for example in cases of suspected fraud or defamation.

When you register to fundraise for us we will specifically ask for information about your age, usually your date of birth, and will ask for confirmation of consent from a parent or guardian.

Patient information. 
We do not have access to patient information. In cases where information about your care/treatment, or the care/treatment of a family member, is relevant to the purpose and aims of your donation, and/or where you wish to share that information with us, we will store that information with your express and documented permission.

Vulnerable supporters We recognise the importance of protecting our vulnerable supporters and follow the guidance issued by the Institute of Fundraising on treating donors fairly.
