We will ask for your consent to use your information to send you electronic communications such as newsletters and marketing and fundraising emails, for targeted advertising, and if you ever share special category data with us.
7.6 Contractual relationships
Most of our interactions with subscribers and website users are voluntary and not contractual. However, sometimes it will be necessary to process personal information so that we can enter contractual relationships with people. For example, if you apply for employment or to volunteer with us.
7.7 Legal obligations
Sometimes we will be obliged to process your personal information due to legal obligations which are binding on us. We will only ever do so when strictly necessary.
7.8 Legitimate interests
Applicable law allows personal information to be collected and used if it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate activities (as long as its use is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact individuals’ rights).
7.9 We will rely on this ground for processing the data of all applicants and attendees of our programs, managing our fundraising activities and promoting our programs to relevant organisations, where their information is publicly accessible.
7.10 Where we have relied upon your consent as the ground for lawful processing, you are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time, and such withdrawal of consent will not undermine the lawfulness of processing based upon consent prior to the withdrawal.
7.11 Where we have relied upon legitimate interests as the ground for lawful processing, you are entitled to object to our processing on this ground.
7.12 We may use a combination of these lawful grounds for processing your data but not for the same purposes.
