WHAT KINDS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE USE
PDNPF collects, stores and processes personal information about prospective, current and former donors and supporters of the charity.

We may collect personal information directly from you when you:
• Ask about our activities, resources, or training
• Complete surveys or respond to consultations
• Register with us for information
• Use our services or attend our activities, groups or the Centre
• Sign up for publications or newsletters
• Volunteer or fundraise for us
• Pledge or donate or sign up for an event
• Telephone, write, contact us online or text us or otherwise provide us with your personal information

Or indirectly from our website or social media platforms, through third parties such as Mail Chimp when you sign up to our e-newsletter or Enthuse when you make a donation online, Justgiving or from partner organisations that support delivery of the services you may receive.
Personal information can include information such as your name, communication preferences, email address, postal address, telephone number, mobile number, date of birth or bank account details so we can process donations or payments, or information as to whether you are a taxpayer to help us to claim gift aid.

OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR USING YOUR INFORMATION
We only use your personal information where that is permitted by the laws that protect your privacy

We will use personal information where:
a) we have your consent (where consent is needed)
b) we need to use the information to comply with our legal obligations
c) we need to use the information to enable us to enter into a contract with you and in the
fulfilment of that contract
D) where we have identified legitimate interest as the lawful basis for processing data. Where we have your consent, you have the right to withdraw it. We will let you know how to do that at the time we get your consent.

THE PURPOSE OF PROCESSING YOUR DATA
We rely on the generosity, trust and support of the public, philanthropists, the business community and Trusts and Foundations to survive. In our endeavours to seek your support, we will keep you up to date with our fundraising and marketing news and activities. We may collect data in order to process your donation and to provide you with information on our products and services. We may use a range of channels such as newsletters, direct mail appeals, thank you letters, invitations to events and fundraising receptions, meetings, phone conversations, our website, and social media platforms.

We process your data for the following reasons:
• Fundraising activities and events
• Seeking donations or support in kind
• Marketing and communications about the activities of the Peak District National Park Foundation
• Research and analysis to help inform our decisions and how we communicate with you

We may undertake research and analysis to help inform our decisions as a fundraising charity. This may include segmentation of our database to inform direct mail appeals, analysing how many newsletters are opened and read to ensure what we include is relevant and of interest; analysing our supporter base to identify, communicate and engage with philanthropists and people who might choose to give significant donations.

RESEARCHING POTENTIAL SUPPORTERS
We may carry out in-house research, or from time to time engage specialist third-party research
agencies or fundraising and research consultancies, to determine whether an individual could be a
potential major supporter and what aspects of our work might be of particular interest to them. This helps us to identify and engage with people who may wish to have a closer and more informed relationship with the charity and join our major donor funding programme by making a significant gift.   To do this, we may use publicly available information from third party sources
such as Google, Companies House, trade press and published biographies.

The type of information we collect can include:
• career overview
• gift capacity
• areas of interest 
• history of giving to us and others
• how the individual is connected with us and others
• public information on any philanthropic activities.

In order to identify people who might benefit from this more personal approach we may screen our database or use a third-party organisation to do so.  We may also use profiling to produce short biographies of people who are due to meet with our leadership or attend one of our events.  This helps us to understand more about the people we engage with, their connection to us and their interests.

We are careful to ensure that the information we process is not excessive or intrusive.
Where we use a third party, we will ensure that a data contract exists that specifies that the third party will only use the data for the purpose they are engaged for, and that the data will be held securely and won’t be sold on or reused for another purpose.  

We rely on our legitimate interests to process this data as connecting people to our cause is instrumental in meeting our charitable objectives.  

Under data protection legislation, you have the right to object your data being processed in this way.  You can do this by contacting hello@peakdistrictfoundation.org.uk

We are also legally required to carry out checks on individuals who donate large donations, to comply with our duties in respect of anti-money laundering legislation and the prevention of fraud.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OR GETTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM OTHERS.
We must tell you if we want to pass your information on to anyone else. In general, any information you provide will only be used within the Peak District National Park Foundation and by its service providers/data handlers, including the Peak District National Park Authority (admin support), Enthuse (donation processing) and Mail Chimp (to send you e-newsletters). It will never be supplied to anyone outside Peak District National Park Foundation or the Peak District National Park Authority without first obtaining your consent unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it.

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR
How long we keep your personal information for depends on the services we deliver to you and certain legal obligations. We also consider the purpose, value and corporate significance when deciding how long to retain information. We will never retain your personal information for any longer than is necessary for the purposes we need to use it for.

We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes once you no longer have a relationship with us or have exercised any of your rights in relation to your information. If you volunteer with us, we will only keep your information for as long as you are volunteering with us, unless we have a legal basis that stipulates it should be retained for longer.

We may hold information in relation to grant funding for up to 15 years after the termination of the funding. This is normally stipulated by the funding provider.

In some circumstances we will hold personal information for longer where necessary for active or potential legal proceedings, to resolve or defend claims, and for the purpose of making remediation payments.

SECURITY OF AND ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We take the security of your personal information extremely seriously. We’ve implemented appropriate physical, technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we have under our control, both on and offline, from improper access, use, alteration, destruction and loss. Your information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff and volunteers. Otherwise, then as set out in this Privacy Policy, we will only ever share your data with your informed consent.

KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE
We will communicate with you in by using the contact details you have provided to us – for example by post, email, text message, social media, and notifications on our website.
Where you have given us consent to receive marketing, you can withdraw consent, and update your marketing preferences by contacting us by email at hello@peakdistrictfoundation.org.uk or by post at Peak District National Park Foundation, Aldern House, Baslow Road, Bakewell, DE45 1AE.
