Developing a better understanding of our supporters through their personal information allows us to fundraise more efficiently, which ultimately helps to improve Cambridge with Kids.

1. Only process information necessary to establish or maintain registration or support.
2. Only process information necessary to provide or administer activities for people who are registered users of the organisation, have regular contact with it or who contact us for support.

The personal information we collect, store and use might include:

• your name and contact details (including postal address, email address and telephone number); your date of birth; information about your activities on our website and about the device used to access it, for instance your IP address and geographical location;

• information as to whether you are a UK taxpayer so we can claim gift aid; and
• any other personal information shared with us.
• Data protection laws recognise certain categories of personal information as sensitive and therefore requiring greater protection, for example information about your health, ethnicity and religion.
• We do not usually collect sensitive data about you unless there is a clear and valid reason for doing so and data protection laws allow us to. For example, we may ask for your health information if you are taking part in a fundraising event involving physical activity.
• Where appropriate, we will make it clear why we are collecting this type of information and what it will be used for.

Please note that we do not intend to collect any personal data from children under 18 years of age and no child under eighteen should submit any personal data to any of the sites. Should we discover that any such personal data has been delivered to any of the sites, we will remove that information as soon as possible.

8. How and why is your information used?

We may use your information for a number of different purposes, which may include:

• providing you with the services, products or information you asked for.
• processing orders that you have submitted;
• carrying out our obligations under any contracts entered into between you and us;
• keeping a record of your relationship with us;
• conducting analysis and market research to better understand how we can improve our services, products or information;
• dealing with entries into a competition;
• seeking your views or comments on the services we provide;
• notifying you of changes to our services;
• sending you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you. These may include information about campaigns, fundraising appeals and activities and promotions of goods and services; and checking donations for the purposes of prevention of prevention of fraud or other crime;
• processing grant or job applications.

9. Confidentiality and security of your personal data

We are committed to keeping the data you provide us secure and will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from loss, misuse or alteration. The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features described above to try to prevent unauthorised access. We have implemented information security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from:

• unauthorised access
• improper use or disclosure
• unauthorised modification
• unlawful destruction or accidental loss

All our employees, contractors and data processors (i.e. those who process your personal data on our behalf, for the purposes listed above), who have access to, and are associated with the processing of your personal data, are obliged to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us in line with the standards set out in the GDPR.

Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the following software: 128 Bit encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

10. Our legal process for processing personal data

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, organisations are required to have a legal basis for processing personal data. The legal bases we use for processing data are:

• Legitimate interests for the purposes of fulfilling our activities and the provision of our services.
• Contractual basis for the purposes of fulfilling our obligations to potential funders such as the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
• Consent when people opt into our mailing lists.

11. How we use personal data:

Please note that cambridgewithkids.com (“this site”) might contain links to external sites as well as advertisements for purchasable products or services from third parties. This privacy statement does not cover the activities of such third parties. You should consult those third party sites’ privacy policies for information on how your data is used by them.

12. How long do we keep data?

• Personal data that you have submitted as part of an enquiry to us is archived after one calendar year except where they result in a purchase in which case they are retained longer as part of our financial records
• Inactive cambridgewithkids.com users are archived after 24 months
• Unless you are an active cambridgewithkids.com user (as above) or you consent to hearing from the project partners about their services, we store and retain your personal data for the duration of a training programme and for a further 12 months after the programme has completed.

We keep your information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes it was collected for. The length of time we retain your personal information for is determined by operational and legal considerations. For example, we are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory and regulatory obligations (e.g. health/safety and tax/accounting purposes). We review our retention periods on a regular basis.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

• However, when we use these third parties, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the services and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and prevents them from using it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

• Right to object to the processing that is likely to cause you damage or distress. Where you challenge the accuracy or lawful processing of your information, we will consider this.
• Right to receive an electronic copy of any information you have consented to us holding. You can ask us to provide you with the personal data about you we hold, securely and in a machine-readable format, so it can be moved, copied or transferred to be used across different services or for you to give to another organisation. This is called a subject access request and we will need to verify your identity before giving such information.
• Right to object. We will ensure that we have the right consents in place for sending you information. You can unsubscribe from our mailings and remove your details at any time. If you wish to stop receiving communications from us, you will be able to do so by contacting us.

You can make a request at any point by email to admin at cambridgewithkids.com  We will respond to a request within one month of receipt. However, where a request is received to erase data, we may not be able to delete all data (for example where data is linked to financial transactions that must be kept for a set period of time under financial regulations).
