Our Privacy Policy and promise to you

 

At Philanthropy Impact, we are committed to maintaining the security and privacy of our stakeholder’s personal data.  We appreciate and value how important privacy is to you and therefore we protect your information as if it were our own.

 

This policy will explain why we need your data, how we use it and your rights over it.

 

As part of respecting your rights to control your personal data, this privacy policy explains the information we collect from you, either directly or indirectly, and how we will use it.  We will endeavour to ensure that any information you submit to us remains private and is only used for the purposes set out in this policy.

 

Philanthropy Impact needs to collect and use certain types of information about people with whom it deals in order to operate. These include current, past and prospective employees, suppliers, members, clients and customers, and others with whom it communicates. This personal information must be dealt with properly however it is collected, recorded and used – whether on paper, in a computer, or recorded on other material – and there are safeguards to ensure this in the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

We regard the lawful and correct treatment of personal information by Philanthropy Impact as very important to successful operations, and to maintaining confidence between those with whom we deal and ourselves. We ensure that our organisation treats personal information lawfully and correctly.

• take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to safeguard personal information
