How do we obtain your personal information?

When you give it to us directly 

You may give us your information in order to sign up for one of our events, when you contact us to ask about our activities, to tell us your story, seek assistance, make a donation to us, fundraise on our behalf, or otherwise give us personal information through filling out an enquiry form on the Cancer Care Map website.   Sometimes when you support us, your information is collected or processed by an organisation working for us (eg a professional fundraising agency or a data processing company). Where they are doing it purely on behalf of The Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund we will be responsible for your information at all times. 

When you give permission to other parties to share it with us

Your information may be shared with us by independent event organisers, for example sites like Virgin Money Giving. These independent third parties will only do so when you have indicated that you wish to support The Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund with your consent.   You should check their Privacy Policy when you provide your information to understand fully how they will process your information. We may also obtain information about you from a family member or a friend who contacts us on your behalf or if a fundraiser passes on your details to us. 

When your information is available publicly or from other external sources

We may combine information that we already have about you with information available publicly or information available from external sources in order to gain a better understanding of you and to improve our fundraising methods and services.  The information we get from other external sources may depend on your privacy settings or the responses you give, so you should regularly check them. Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for social media and messaging services like Facebook, WhatsApp or Twitter, you might give us permission to access information from those accounts or services. 

Explaining the legal bases we rely on

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which an organisation may collect and process your personal data, including:

• Consent - In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent.

• When collecting your personal data, we'll always make clear to you which data is necessary in connection with a particular service.

• Legitimate interest - In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our charity and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

What information do we collect?

For example, it can include information such as your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, fax number and credit/debit card details, as well as information relating to your health or personal circumstances.

This is known as sensitive personal information and covers health information, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs or other beliefs or a similar nature, political opinion and trade union membership. We would only collect sensitive personal information where there is a clear need to do so such as participation in a challenge event, to ascertain what services are relevant to you or to cater other services and support to you. Before collecting any sensitive personal information about you we will make it clear to you what information we are collecting and the purposes for collecting such.
