We use this information to monitor and improve our website, services and activities e.g. to personalise website presentation or to see which services or events are of most interest.

We use the personal information collected from users for several purposes, including:

  • to provide you with services, products or information you have requested;

  • for administration purposes (e.g. contact about an event you have registered for);
  • to process your application for a job or volunteer role with us; and
  • for fraud prevention, credit risk reduction or otherwise as required by law or regulation.

We may analyse your data for research purposes to improve our services, or to try to understand your preferences to contact you in the most appropriate and relevant way.

We must keep your personal information up to date. You can contact us at any time if your circumstances change.

It is your choice whether and how you receive information from us about our work, fundraising and ways you get involved.

You can update your contact preferences at any time by contacting sarah.asiblingswish@gmail.com

We will not use your details for marketing purposes if you tell us not to, however, we will retain your details on our suppression lists to help ensure that we do not contact you.

We will never sell your data to any third party. We will not share your details with other charities for marketing purposes. To carry out our work we may need to pass your details to service companies who are authorised to act on our behalf. Where we use third parties, we require them to adhere to appropriate controls to protect personal information.

The Harvey Hext Trust is committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure and we have security policies and technical measures in place to help protect your information.
