We believe everyone has the right to their own privacy and security.
We believe everyone has the right to their own privacy and security. Privacy notices contain really important information regarding your how your information is used but all too often it’s easier to ignore them. When using any of our sites, we naturally collect information about you, and this allows us to provide you with personalised services.
We use your information for a number of reasons. This isn’t everything and we encourage you to take a look at our privacy notice so you have all the information you need. Any questions, we’re always happy to talk to you more about this.
When using any of The Diana Award websites, attending our events or services, kindly donating to The Diana Award, or using any of our partner websites, we will collect different information about you, such as your name, telephone number, address, and email address, and in some cases sensitive personal data, detailed in the ‘What information we collect’ section of this policy.
This notice explains how we will use that information, who we might share it with, and what steps we’ll take to make sure it stays private and secure. It applies to any of The Diana Award webpages, and any interactions you might have with us.
Whenever we say ‘we’ or ‘our’, this means The Diana Award, a registered charity in England and Wales (1117288), Scotland (SC041916), a company limited by guarantee (with registered company number in England & Wales as 05739137), and our registered address: 33 Queen Street, London, EC4R 1AP
We may collect and store personal information about you when you interact with us. For example, this could be when you:
The information we collect or have about you might come from different sources. Some of it will come directly from you. Some of it we might find from publically available sources, which we have lawfully accessed. And some of it might come from outside organisations such as our charitable donation partner websites or companies with whom we provide campaigns.
We collect relevant information about you. This includes your contact details (name, email address, school / organisation, your job position (if applicable) and other contact details, date of birth, age, and nationality). This might also extend to order data (e.g. online purchases), data from the fulfilment of your order (e.g. sales data in processing orders), and communications data (e.g. email data, third party information, chat data, instant messages).
Sensitive Personal Data
We do not collect “sensitive personal data” unless there is a clear reason for doing so – such as participation in a training event where we need this to ensure that we provide appropriate facilities or support to enable you to participate in the event. Clear notices will be provided on application forms for such events so that it is clear what information we need and why we need it.
All sensitive personal data is stored on a secure database, to which only a limited number of relevant staff have access. It is deleted when no longer relevant, is never shared with third parties, and is available to you at any point should you wish to see it.
When using our websites, we will also collect cookie information about your computer or mobile phone device, such as IP address, as well as user login details for any of our websites, which require you to be logged in.
If you’re 18 or under
If you’re aged 18 or under, you must get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to us.
We’ll keep your information to enable us continue to provide you with information and services. We will keep this information for as long as you are using our platforms (e.g. our website and mobile apps), generously donating to our cause or purchasing from our websites, or using our services. We may need to keep this information after you stop, as required by law and to protect our legal interests. We won’t keep any information for longer than is necessary and when we no longer need the information we will securely destroy it in accordance with our internal policy or fully anonymise it.
If you request that we stop contacting you we will keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us, we won’t keep any information that we don’t need.
We will only use your personal data where we have a lawful basis for using it. This means we will only use your information where you’ve told us we can; the law says we have to; we need to for the purposes of performing a contract; we have a public interest to do so; or we have a legitimate business reason for doing so.
We will use your information for a number of relevant reasons including to:
