Storing your data
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

How we keep your personal information secure
We take privacy issues very seriously and we understand that keeping your personal information secure is very important to you.

When handling personal information, security is paramount and we use all reasonable measures to safeguard your information and to ensure it is adequately protected.

Our system is hosted by service providers whom we consider to have good reputations for security. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet can be 100% secure, as such while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and cannot, therefore, be held responsible for unauthorised or unintended access of your data, which is beyond our control.

How long we keep your information
Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting or for other legal requirements), we will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not keep your information for any longer than the period of time for which you have an account with us, except for the reasons detailed above. When we no longer have a legitimate business reason to process your information, we will either delete or anonymise it or securely store and isolate it from any further processing until such time as deletion is possible.

Disclosure of your personal information
We may disclose your data to other third-party service providers to the extent that they need access to your data in order to provide us with their services. We will only use suppliers who provide sufficient guarantees as to the processing of your data, including in relation to keeping it secure.

Your data may also be shared with our staff, bank and payment providers, organisations with the card payment industry to help prevent online fraud, the charity to which you have donated, and law enforcement agencies.

You should be aware that if we are requested by the police or any regulatory or government authority investigating suspected illegal activities to provide to them your personal information and/or information concerning your activities whilst visiting the site, we shall be entitled to do so.  We are also entitled to disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or if we reasonably consider this necessary; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, or others.

If our business is sold or integrated with another business, your personal information may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

We will not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to others.

Charities/not-for-profit organisations
If you have opted to give Gift Aid, we will share your information with the charity/not-for-profit organisation so that they can submit a claim for Gift Aid. These organisations are not permitted to contact you using the information we have provided to them, other than in connection with the processing of your donation. Doing so is in breach of our policy. We will only share your details for the purpose of marketing if you have opted in for this. To opt out please contact the relevant charity/not-for-profit organisation.
