Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust’s commitment to privacy
Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect about you and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.
1. The information we collect and how we use it
When you request information, make enquiries or use our email reminder service we need to know your name, postal address and email address. We also request you provide further optional information such as your telephone number. Where your intention is to be reminded about a special event (for example a birthday or an anniversary), we will require the first name of the person whose special occasion it is as well as the date of that event. You may if you wish also supply us with the following information relating to that person (which is optional): their surname, gender, address, age group and the type of gift you might buy them.
Our service may also be used to remind you of an appointment or task that you need to attend or carry out as applicable in which case we will need to know what it is and the date or deadline for such appointment or task.
We gather this information to allow us to provide an effective reminder service. We will never sell your personal information to a third party or share your personal information with any third party unless they are involved in the provision of our services.
We may use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring trends and website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.
2. Your payment details
We do collect and store your payment details only for the duration of your subscription with us. All your payment details are processed through a secure payment system provided by approved 3rd party providers.
3. Use of cookies and other information gathering technologies
We do not use cookies which are text files that would otherwise identify your computer to our server.
4. How we protect your information
The internet is not a secure medium. However we have put in place various security procedures as set out in this policy. Your information is physically held in a secure hosting facility and internet access is protected by port filtering routers.
You have a unique identification and password which is intended to ensure that only you have access to your information on your protected page on our website. (We ask that you keep your identification and password safe and let us know immediately if you believe someone you wish not to have access to your information has knowledge of your identification and password).
Should you opt to have information entered into your protected page on our website by someone else via email, they will not have access to any other information you have put there.
We also keep your information confidential. The only time we will disclose personal information is when we are required to do so by law subject to paragraph 5 below.
5. Sale of business
If this business or any part of it, is sold or integrated with another business your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business or any part thereof.
6. Updating your details
If any of the information that you have provided to us changes, or if you wish to be removed from our database, please let us know by sending an email to info@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk or by sending a letter to Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Dulverton Buildings, Robinswood Hill Country Park, Resevoir Road, Gloucester, GL4 6SX.
7. Your consent
By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. We will also email you should we make any changes so that you may consent to our use of your information in that way. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.
Owing to the global nature of the Internet infrastructure, if you are accessing our website from outside of the UK, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken the steps outlined above to try to improve the security of your information. By submitting your information you consent to these transfers.
