If you sign up, we’ll collect your email address when you subscribe to our mailing list via Mailchimp’s email list management service. On their site, you are asked whether you would like further contact by email, direct mail or targeted advertising. You are also given the option to unsubscribe at any time. Mailchimp will also collect information about whether you open the emails that we send you, what links you click on, what country you are in, and what device you are using.
We collect this information so that we can send you updates and news about the services of Children’s Alliance and the work that we do. We also collect this data so that we can improve our service and communication by refining our delivery of this information.
This information is held by Mailchimp. You can read their Privacy Policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/#3._Privacy_for_Contacts.
Donations are done through a third-party site called Collection Pot. They are responsible for your data once you agree to donate. Their privacy notice can be viewed here: https://www.collectionpot.com/privacy/.
If you request additional information via our info@childrensalliance.org.uk email address or via our general contact form, we’ll collect your name, email address, and details that you add regarding your enquiry. We also collect and store the date and time you sent the enquiry.
We collect this information so that we can contact you about your enquiry.
The form generates an email which shares your information with the host email server and then to a designated member of staff who deals with email enquiries. They will then share your information with an appropriate member of staff so that your enquiry can be dealt with.
Your information won’t be used for any other purpose and won’t be shared with anyone else, unless it is in the pursuit of dealing with your enquiry. This information is kept on our email system indefinitely, unless you ask us to remove it.
If you apply to one of our grant schemes, we collect information from you and your organisation in order to assess, administer, and monitor your application and, if successful, your grant.
This includes:
Some applications include information about the people your project supports, such as children or adults with additional needs, disabilities, or other vulnerabilities. Where this is the case, this counts as special category data under UK data protection law and we take extra care in how we handle it. We only use this information to assess and monitor the application and do not use it for any other purpose.
Where an application includes information about someone other than the applicant, for example a beneficiary, service user, or child, we expect the applicant organisation to have a lawful basis for sharing that information with us. We handle this information with the same care as all other application data.
We collect this information so that we can decide whether to award a grant, administer payment, monitor how the grant is used, and report to our trustees, funders, and regulators such as the Charity Commission where required.
Your information is seen by the staff and trustees involved in assessing and managing grant applications, and may be shared with co-funders or auditors where relevant to the grant.
We keep grant application information, whether or not the application is successful, for the minimum period required by law. For financial and accounting records connected to a grant, this is currently a minimum of 6 years from the end of the relevant financial year, in line with HMRC and Charity Commission record-keeping requirements.
You can contact us at any time and ask us:
You can withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data at any time. To do so, please contact us at info@childrensalliance.org.uk.
You can find out more about your data rights on the Information Commissioner’s website.
