We may use your information in a number of ways, including:
In particular, we may contact you for marketing purposes by email, phone or text message if you have agreed to be contacted in this manner. We may also send you service communications via email or text, for example where you place an order for goods or services on our website, or you have made a donation by text.
If you have provided us with your postal address, we may send you information about our work or other communications of the kinds described above by direct mail unless you have told us that you would prefer not to hear from us in this way. We provide information about how you can change your marketing preferences in all communications.
In our Supporter Promise, we have committed to communicating with you using an approach that is right for you. This means that we carefully manage the communications we send you to ensure that we are contacting you in the most appropriate way and that we are not sending you unwanted communications.
In order to do this, we may combine the information that we collect about you and analyze what we know about your interests, preferences and level of potential engagement or donation. We may also use statistical analysis to analyze this data and understand the likelihood that you will be interested in or responsive to a campaign or message. We may use third party service providers to assist us in this process. We may also use your data to assist us in finding new potential supporters using your likes and interests.
You can opt out of your data being analyzed by contacting our Supporter Care Team, but doing this may mean that you stop receiving marketing communications from us more generally.
In accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations and our internal policies and procedures, we may also use personal information to carry out due diligence on potential or actual donors. If you opt out of analysis of your data for due diligence purposes, we may not be able to accept donations from you.
Where you have agreed to receive email or SMS marketing communications from us, we may provide your email address or mobile phone number in an encrypted format to social media companies, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube, or to digital advertising networks that are providing services to us by displaying our advertising to you on those social media platforms and other websites, as well as identifying audiences with interests similar to yours.
You can opt out of your data being used to display advertising to you by contacting our Supporter Care Team or our Data Protection Office as described below. However, this will not prevent our advertisements being shown to you on a randomized basis or based on cookie data (in accordance with our Cookies Policy) and may mean that you stop receiving marketing communications from us more generally. We enter into contracts with all of these service providers that require them to comply with data protection laws and to ensure that they have appropriate controls in place to protect the security of your information.
Humanity & Inclusion UK takes the care of your data seriously and is committed to protecting your personal information that you provide to us. We use industry-standard tools to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. We also seek to follow best practice, such as the Institute of Fundraising's Data Protection Code, and review our procedures regularly.
We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator, which sets and maintains the standards for charitable fundraising, aiming to ensure that fundraising is respectful, open, honest and accountable to the public. We are committed to complying with its Fundraising Promise and the Code of Fundraising Practice.

We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. We collect this information in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting this website. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source.
If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
We may supplement what we know about you with information that is available to the public. For example, in order to ensure that our communication with you is relevant and tailored to your background and interests, we may collect information about you from publicly-available sources either directly or through third-party subscription services or service providers. See above for more information.
From time to time, we may embed external content from third-party websites (e.g. Facebook, YouTube) within our website. These websites may utilize cookies and the Privacy Policy that will apply to such third-party content will be that published on the website of that third-party content provider. We will not be responsible for any third party content or any third party site that you may choose to visit through links on our site.
Occasionally we may ask you to fill in questionnaires or surveys whilst online. The data collected by the questionnaire or survey will only be used for the purpose stated on the form. You may also be given the opportunity to add your personal information such as telephone or email address to our databases so we can contact you in the future. We will only use this information to contact you if you expressly give us permission to do so.

Humanity & Inclusion UK will not sell or rent your information to anyone. However, we may disclose data to our third party service providers who provide elements of our services for us, including in relation to fundraising and back-office support. For example, we do sometimes ask third party organizations to contact our supporters on our behalf as part of our fundraising activities. However any such third party would be bound by appropriate contractual agreements which would prevent them from using information from Humanity & Inclusion UK for any other purpose. The information gathered in this way remains our legal responsibility and we ensure that data is treated with the same level of care as if we were handling it directly.
In some circumstances we may be legally required to share information, for example in response to a court order or as part of a legal investigation or complaint. This may require us to share information with legal bodies, our professional advisors and regulatory bodies but we will ensure that we have a lawful basis for sharing such information prior to doing so.
We will keep your information for as long as you have an active relationship with us. If you request to receive no further contact, we may retain some basic information in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.
