Some of the above grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of

the contract we have entered into with you or your organisation (such as providing the products and/or services to
you). We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably
consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we
need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal
basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal information without your
knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means, however we will notify you
in writing if this position changes.
5. Data sharing and transfer
We may share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers and third party charity platforms
such as Just Giving. We may sometimes be obliged to disclose your personal information by law such as by a
regulator with appropriate power or court order or to otherwise comply with the law. Potential recipients in the UK
include the Charity Commission.
All our third-party partners/service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your
personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party partners/service providers to use your
personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes
and in accordance with our instructions.
In the course of carrying out the activities referred to above we will not transfer your personal information outside of
the UK.
6. Data retention
How long will we use your information for?
We will only retain your personal information 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. Details of retention
periods for different aspects of personal information we process are available from
enquiries@darbyrimmermnd.co.uk . 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. In some circumstances we
may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may
use such information without further notice to you. We will retain and securely destroy your personal information in
accordance with our data retention procedure.
7. Your rights in connection with personal information
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if
your personal information changes.
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This
enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully
processing it. - Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any
incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected. - Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal
information 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 information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see
below). - Object to processing of your personal information 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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal
information for direct marketing purposes (for example, email marketing or phone calls). - Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend
the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the
reason for processing 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.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of
your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact
enquiries@darbyrimmermnd.co.uk in writing and they will explain any conditions that may apply.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However,
we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we
may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to
access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to
ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Right to withdraw consent
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer
of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific
processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact enquiries@darbyrimmermnd.co.uk . Once we
have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the
purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. Further
guidance on your rights is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office ( https://ico.org.uk/ ). You have
the right to complain to the UK’s supervisory office for data protection, the Information Commissioner’s Office at
https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ if you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully.
8. Changes to this Privacy Notice
If you have any questions about this privacy notice or how we handle your personal information, please contact
enquiries@darbyrimmermnd.co.uk . We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time for example if the
law or regulatory requirements change, if technology changes or to make the Group’s operations and procedures
more efficient. We will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates. We may also
notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information.
