  1. Disclosures of your personal data

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above:

  • External Third Parties; being:
  • Service providers acting as processors or joint controllers (as the case may be) based in the United Kingdom who provide IT and system administration services, grant management software or other services related to the performance of our contractual obligations to you and/or where necessary for our legitimate interests and which shall include (but which shall not be limited to) Benefactor Grant Management Software supplied and operated by Gallery Partnership.

  • HM Revenue & Customs, the Charities Commission, and other regulators and authorities acting as processors or joint controllers (as the case may be) based in the United Kingdom who may require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances, or where we are compelled to do so by law.

and

  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.

Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy statement.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

  1. International transfers

Owing to the global nature of internet and cloud-based infrastructure, your personal data may be transferred outside the UK and the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Whilst some countries have adequate protections for personal data under the laws applicable in those countries, in other countries, steps will be necessary to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. We use a number of cloud-based applications and support services provided by third party providers who (and whose servers) may be based outside the EEA. We take appropriate steps to ensure that any such third parties provide an adequate level of protection in relation to any information you provide.

By providing your personal data to us in accordance with this policy, you consent to any such transfers of any information outside of the EEA.

  1. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

The Website may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of The Shanly Foundation's partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that The Shanly Foundation does not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

  1. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

You acknowledge that the transmission of information (including your personal data) to us via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Information as set out above, we cannot completely guarantee the security of information (including your personal data) transmitted to us via our websites or by e-mail.

  1. How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
