General privacy information
Your privacy while using our websites
1. General privacy information
The charity; KingsCare League of Friends
KingsCare League of Friends (registered CIO no: 1174450) Nick Biggs is the DATA CONTROLLER – contact details below. This means it decides how your personal data is processed and for what purpose.
All personal data is collected and processed in accordance with UK legislation, including the Data Protection Act and Privacy andElectronic Communication Regulations.
To help you understand how this legislation protects you, good information and advice is available on the Information Commissioner’s Office website.
Our commitment to your data
We primarily collect data in relation to the contract or relationship we have with individual Clients, particularly when it’s necessary to support their journey through our services. In the work that we do with our Clients and in the engagement, we have with supporters and funders, KingsCare gathers personal data. We collect data to enhance our service quality; help us to tailor our services for training and resource allocation; to understand our supporters better and also help us to fundraise more effectively.
We want every interaction people to have with KingsCare to be positive. In all areas of our work, we are committed to protecting your personal information, being open about what information we hold, ensuring that we only gather information as necessary and retaining it only for as long as we need to.
The statement applies to how KingsCare – and any of its subsidiaries – collects and uses personal information you provide to us and that we collect, whether online, via phone, email, in letters or in any other correspondence or from third parties.
What information do we collect and how do we use it?
KingsCare collects information in the following ways:
Information from third parties
We receive information about you from third parties and from the public domain. This may include information such as your name, postal address, email address, phone number, your geographic location, credit/debit card details, national insurance details and whether you are a tax payer so that we can claim Gift Aid. We, like all charities and companies, are able to confirm what browser you are using, IP address and computer operating systems that are being used and this information may be used to improve the services we offer. We do not buy, sell or swap data with third parties or other charities.
Information you give us
When you sign up for a service, engage with our social media or message boards to make a donation to us, register for an event or otherwise provide us with personal information. When you register, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, email address and telephone number to store with your account.
Information we get from your use of our website and digital services
We collect information about the services you use and how you use them, like when you watch a video on YouTube, visit our websites or view and interact with our ads and content. This helps us to understand your interests in our cause and information and to tailor our resources to be more focused on what supporters or Clients need.
Sensitive personal data
Data Protection law and the GDPR 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.
Our main use for sensitive personal data will be to provide the services that we are commissioned to deliver and we will always make it clear to our Clients what sensitive personal data we are collecting, why we are collecting this data and what purposes we may use it for.
We may also collect sensitive personal data if you make the information public or if you tell us about your health and care experiences relating to the support we provide you (for example, if you agree to act as a case study for us or volunteer to share your story); however, again, we will always make it clear to you when we collect this information from you what the sensitive personal data we are collecting is, and what purposes we may use it for.
We will not collect sensitive personal data about non-Clients unless there is a clear reason for doing so. For example, to enable everyone to participate in a fundraising event or initiative, we may need this information to ensure that we provide appropriate facilities or support to enable your participation.
