What personal data do we collect?

Supporters, Donors & Fundraisers

If you support Team Jak by making a donation, regular giving, register to fundraise, sign up for an event or to buy promotional items from our on-line shop, we will usually collect:

• Your name.
• Your contact details.
• Your bank, payment or credit card details.

If you have kindly Gift Aided your donation to Team Jak, we must record the fact you are a UK taxpayer and we must maintain a record of the amount of Gift Aid we have claimed.

Where appropriate we may also ask you for:

• Information relating to your health; we would only do this if there is a clear reason for doing so, such as where we need this information to ensure that we are able to provide appropriate services and facilities, or for example, to enable you to participate in an event (such as a marathon).
• Your motivation for giving, including whether this relates to any personal experience of Team Jak Foundation.

 
We will mainly use your data to:

• Provide you with the services, products or information you have asked for – such as donations, participation in campaigns, and provision of information.

Whatever it is about Team Jak you are interested in, we really want to be as tailored as we can in our communications to you. We also want to speak to you in the way you’d prefer – be it by email, on the phone or in writing. To help us do this, we will sometimes analyse things like what you are interested in and where you live to help us engage with you in a meaningful way. This is important because it cuts down on broad-ranging communications and helps us ask for donations or give information based on what we know you would like to hear about.

Den appointment bookings

Lawful basis for processing:

• Booking applications/registration forms: contract
• Special categories of information (ie health) contained in a booking application: consent

We then use your personal information to provide the service you have requested. This information may include:

• Your name, address, email and phone number(s), so that we can identify and contact you about booking opportunities or applications
• The days and times you are available so that we can confirm availability
• The name, date of birth and gender of the child or young person receiving treatment, together with information on the treatment centre and key medical / social work staff involved, so that we can assess whether we are able to offer you a place and have their details in case of an emergency.

Where we collect health information we will seek your explicit consent to process it. This information is held securely by Team Jak and is not shared with any third party. If you choose not to provide consent, your application will not be adversely affected

• The name, age and gender of those who live with you and their relationship to the child or young person receiving treatment, so that we can ensure that we meet the needs of your whole family, provide appropriate seasonal or other gifts for you where we are able and arrange other services as required
• Your communication preferences.

Direct marketing

With your consent, we will contact you to share news about Team Jak – keep you informed about the progress we are making and to ask for financial and non-financial support. We make it easy for you to tell us how you want us to communicate, in a way that suits you. Our forms have clear marketing preference questions and we include information on how to request no contact (Opt-Out) from us. If you don’t want to hear from us, that’s absolutely fine, please just get in touch to let us know and we will make sure your wishes are followed. When you give us your information, or you get in touch with us by emailing info@teamjak.org.uk.

We do not sell or share personal details with third parties for the purposes of marketing. But, if you attend an event run in partnership with another named organisation your details may need to be shared. We will be very clear what will happen to your data when you register.

Where we collect information about you from

We collect information in the following ways:

When you give it to us directly

You may give us your information in order to sign up for one of our events, tell us your story, make a donation, purchase our product or communicate with us. Sometimes when you support us, your information is collected by an organisation working for us (eg Music therapy, counselling), but we are responsible for your data at all times.

When you give it to via a third party

Your information may be shared with us by independent event organisers; for example through our fundraising sites: Enthuse, Crowdfunders, Give As You Live. These independent third parties will only do so when you have indicated that you wish to support Team Jak and with your consent. Please also check their Privacy Policy when you provide your information to understand fully how they will process your data.

When you give permission to other organisations to share it

Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for social media and messaging services like Facebook, WhatsApp or Twitter, you might give us permission to access information from those accounts or services.

You may also provide permission for third-party organisations to share your data with other third parties, including charities. You may do this when you buy a product or service, register with a website that runs competitions or register with a comparison site.

The information we get from those services depends on your settings or the responses you give, so you should regularly check them.

When we collect it as you use our website

Like most websites, we use ‘cookies’ to help us make our site – and the way you use it – better. Cookies mean that a website will remember you. They’re small text files that sites transfer to your computer (or phone or tablet). They make interacting with a website faster and easier – for example by automatically filling your name and address in text fields.

In addition, the type of device you’re using to access our website and the settings on that device may provide us with information about your device, including what type of device it is, what specific device you have, what operating system you’re using, what your device settings are, and why a crash has happened. Your device manufacturer or operating system provider will have more details about what information your device makes available to us.

If you do not wish to accept cookies on to your machine you can disable them by adjusting the settings on your browser. However, this will affect the functionality of the Team Jak website for you.

How we keep your data safe and who has access

We ensure that there are appropriate controls in place to protect your personal details both paper and electronic form.

We undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff, volunteers and contractors.

We may need to disclose your details if required to the police, regulatory bodies or legal advisors.

We will only ever share your data in other circumstances if we have your explicit and informed consent.

Keeping your information up to date

Where possible we use publicly available sources to keep your records up to date. We really appreciate it if you let us know if your contact details change.  You can do this via the link on our website or via the link at the foot of our monthly newsletters.

Subject Access Requests: Your Rights

You have a right to ask us to stop processing your personal data. If it’s not necessary for the purpose you provided it to us for (e.g. processing your donation or registering you for an event) we will do so.

Contact us on 01506 412302 or info@teamjak.org.uk  if you have any concerns.

You have a right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, although under some circumstances we may charge to provide this. If you spot any mistakes, please let us know and we will correct them.

If you want to access your information, send a description of the information you want to see, and proof of your identity by post to Team Jak Foundation, Jak’s Den, Ochil House, Livingston, West Lothian EH54 6QF. We do not accept these requests by email.

If you have any questions please send these to info@teamjak.org.uk

Changes to this policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any significant changes in the way we treat your personal information, we will make this clear on the Team Jak Foundation website or by contacting you directly.
