Why do we need your data?
We need to know your basic personal data in order to provide you with information about our activities, campaigns and events. In addition we may need this data to process donations, to claim Gift Aid, verify financial transactions and to provide any services or goods you have requested.
We will collect only the personal data we need to ensure we provide information that is most relevant to you.
What data do we collect?
The personal data we collect can include details such as your name, email address, postal address and telephone number.
We strive to collect only the data necessary to maintain our relationship with you and ensure we can best provide the information and service you require.
How do we collect your data?
We collect data from you when you ask about DDE, its events and activities. This could be by email, telephone, post, through our website or in person.
How do we keep your data safe?
Any personal data we hold is kept confidential and protected against misuse or improper access. Data is processed only by DDE staff based in the UK.
No one else has access to your personal data and we will not share it with any third parties. The only exception is if we are required to do so by law.
We have a Data Protection regime in place to ensure the effective and secure processing of your personal data. All DDE staff are aware of the importance we attach to the correct handling of personal information and are guided by our internal Privacy Policy, a copy of which is available upon request.
Our website may contain links to other sites. While we try to ensure these sites share our same interests, standards and respect for privacy we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
What are the legal bases for keeping your data?
In most cases we will only use your personal data where we have your consent or because we need it to fulfil a contract with you (e.g. you have placed an order for a DDE product or workshop).
However there are other lawful reasons that allow us to process your personal data and one of those is called legitimate interests. Examples of this are if we contact you to research our supporters; for legal purposes; or to comply with guidance from the Charity Commission.
How long will we keep your data?
We will only keep it as long as is reasonable and necessary for the relevant activity, which may be to fulfil statutory obligations.
