The following sections will answer any questions you have but if not, please do get in touch by contact us by post, telephone or email. Contact details are shown below.

It’s likely that we’ll need to update this Privacy Notice from time to time. You are welcome to come back and check this at any-time or contact us by any of the means shown below. The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons or conditions for which an organisation may collect and process your personal data, including:

Consent;

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your consent. This might include when you complete a form online to receive an email about ways you can support us or to receive information about Kisharon, our services or our facilities.

When collecting your personal data, we’ll always make clear to you what data is necessary and for what purpose.

Contractual obligations;

In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.

For example, if you pay to attend one of our many services. Or if you give a donation and agree to Gift Aid or if you set up a regular gift by Direct Debit.

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.

For example, we can pass on details of people involved in fraud or other criminal activity affecting Kisharon to law enforcement.

Legitimate interest;

In specific situations, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected when we pursue our aims and objectives as an organisation and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

For example, we will use personal details to send regular information to our supporters about ways to help us in the future.

We also might combine the history of your interaction with us and other information about your likes and behaviour to identify trends and ensure we send relevant and timely information about our activities, or if we develop new ways you may support us or to benefit from what we do here at Kisharon.

Special category data;

“Special categories” of particularly sensitive personal data require higher levels of protection. We take extra care when collecting, storing and using this type of personal data.  We aim to collect and process special category data as little as possible.  Generally, we will only collect information on your health where we are legally obliged. This is to uphold our duty of care, our contractual arrangements and to ensure the safeguarding of staff, those using our services and visitor to our various locations. Other special categories of data may be revealed to us by subjects during the course of delivering our services, we do not strictly process this information but acknowledge it may on occasion be recorded. Kisharon will document all incidents of its processing of special category data in its Information Asset Register, and will be preparing a separate document itemising all of these, with reasons, having conducted assessment where required.

The Special Categories of personal data consist of data revealing:

  • racial or ethnic origin;
  • political opinions;
  • religious or philosophical beliefs; trade union membership.

They also consist of the processing of:

  • genetic data;
  • biometric data (e.g. fingerprints) for the purpose of uniquely identifying someone;
  • data concerning health;
  • data concerning someone’s sex life or sexual orientation.

We may process special categories of personal data in the following circumstances:

  • With your explicit written consent; or
  • Where it is necessary in the substantial public interest, and further conditions are met;
  • Where the processing is necessary for archiving purposes, or for scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, subject to further safeguards for your fundamental rights and interests specified in law;
  • Where there is a legal obligation.

Further legal controls apply to data relating to criminal convictions and allegations of criminal activity.  We may process such data on the same grounds as those identified for “special categories” referred to above.

When we collect your data;

When you email us we may collect your name, gender, date of birth, postal address, email and telephone number. For your security, we keep all data secure with appropriate organisational and technical safeguards to keep information safe.

When we interact with you we may also collect notes from our conversations with you, details of any complaints or comments you make. We might record your age for identity where the law requires this. We may use technology such as cookies to help us deliver relevant and interesting content in our communications in the future. We may profile you to find out more about you but in the least intrusive way.

We’ll only ask for and use your personal data collected for the purpose stated at the point at which it is collected. If we believe your data is no longer needed for this purpose we will not process your data further.

Your image may be recorded on CCTV when you visit our premises for safety and crime prevention and detection.
