Personal data in our databases is only accessible by appropriately trained staff and volunteers who need to access your personal data as an essential part of their role. All access is tracked through individual login credentials.

- Changes to this Privacy Policy
Privacy laws and practice are constantly developing and we aim to meet high standards. Our policies and procedures are, therefore, under continual review. We may, from time to time, update our security and privacy policies.

We will ensure our Website has our most up to date policy and suggest that you check this page periodically to review our latest version.
- Updating and Correcting Personal Data
In order to save the beneficiaries money, we use data cleansing services to update us on people who have moved home or who have died. If you have registered a change of address with the Post Office's National Change of Address database, we will update your details through this mechanism. Similarly, for relevant activity, if you use the Fundraising Preference Service to withdraw consent to receiving direct marketing from us, we will amend our records accordingly.
You may update or correct your personal data by contacting us and ask us to do it for you (see the section 'How to contact us' below). Please include your name, address and/or email address when you contact us as this helps us to ensure that we accept amendments only from the correct person.
We encourage you to promptly update your personal data if it changes. If you are providing updates or corrections about another person, we may require you to provide us with proof that you are authorised to provide that information to us.
- Your Rights
You have a number of legal rights in respect of your personal data. These include:
- Access
The right to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you. The same right applies to any other person whose personal data you provide to us. We will require proof of identity and proof of authority if the request comes from someone other than the person whose data we are asked to provide. This will ensure we only provide information to the correct person. We normally expect to respond to requests within 28 days of receiving them.
- Withdraw consent to direct marketing.
You can exercise this right at any time and can update your preferences yourself or ask us to do it for you. See section 'Updating and correcting your personal data' above for details.
- Withdraw consent to other processing.
Where the only legal basis for our processing your personal data is that we have your consent to do so, you may withdraw your consent to that processing at any time and we will have to stop processing your personal data. Please note, this will only affect a new activity and does not mean that processing carried out before you withdrew your consent is unlawful.
- Rectification.
If you consider any of your personal data is inaccurate, you can correct it yourself or ask us to do it for you (see section 'Updating and correcting your personal data' above for details).
- Restriction.
In limited circumstances you may be able to require us to restrict our processing of your personal data. For example, if you consider what we hold is inaccurate and we disagree, the processing may be restricted until the accuracy has been verified.
- Erasure.
Where we have no lawful basis for holding onto your personal data you may ask us to delete it.
- Portability.
In limited circumstances you may be entitled to have the personal data you have provided to us sent electronically to you for you to provide to another organisation.
