What information we collect
We collect data from our websites for a number of reasons, primarily to provide you with the most useful and relevant information and services from Christian Aid and Christian Aid Limited. We do this through collecting and analysing both anonymous, or aggregate, data, and personal data volunteered by you online.
In some areas of our websites, for example forms, orders, emails, polls and survey submissions, we collect personal data such as your name, address, telephone number and email.. We use this information only for the reason you have supplied it or any other reason for which you have given us permission to do so.
Where relevant, information is provided to explain why the data is being collected and how it will be used. In some cases we may ask you to 'opt-in' to receive future communications including email, or text marketing. In other cases, when we ask you for information about yourself you may, by ticking the appropriate box provided, tell us that you do not want future communications from us.
Should it be necessary to collect sensitive personal data, such as religious affiliation, you will be asked for your consent for us to process this data. We will also explain why we are asking for it.
In addition to information given explicitly by you, we also collect information about your visit to our website (for example, the date and time of your visit and the pages that you view). This information is not connected to you personally, and is in aggregate form. This kind of data helps us to understand how our visitors use our site so that future website development can better meet your needs.
Cookies
In some circumstances, we collect data using cookies. A cookie is an alphanumeric text file that is sent from a website and stored on your computer's hard drive by your web browser. Cookies allow a website to remember who you are, so that when you visit them again, they recognise you as a visitor and can help you with personalised information in filling out forms, for instance, or signing in. Most browsers allow you to turn off the cookie function. To do this, look at the help menu on your browser.
Christian Aid does not routinely use cookies on its sites. From time to time, we may use cookies to limit the number of times you are exposed to pop-up windows or other advertising. We also sometimes use cookies to track popular points of entry to our sites and routes around areas of our sites (that is, click paths) during specific appeals or campaigns.
As with other statistics about visitors to our sites, this tracking is anonymous and aggregate and does not relate to any information we might hold about individuals. If our usage of cookies changes in the future, this will be explained in our privacy policy.
www.cookiecentral.com is a good place to look if you want more information.
Why we're interested
The information we gather helps us to send you the right thing at the right time - to fulfil orders, send you updates and appeals for emergencies, and provide you with products or services.
We may also use your details to contact you some time in the future to tell you about our work. If there's a disaster overseas, we may write to you to tell you about the need for more funds, or we may write to tell you about a big campaign about which we think you might want to know more.
Our policy is to email you only if you have said that you want electronic communication from us. This is in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations. All our emails will offer you the chance to decline future emails.
Respecting your privacy
As a matter of Christian Aid policy, we do not sell, rent or pass on any information about you to other organisations. However, we may share your data with subsidiary companies of Christian Aid and, if necessary to provide you with information or services that you have requested, with our partners or affiliates with whom we work or who work for us. If you do not wish us to use this information in this way, please email us at: info@christian-aid.org We may also need to pass on information when required by law or by a regulatory body (for example, for a Gift Aid audit by the Inland Revenue or if asked for details by a law enforcement agency).
We may provide third parties with overall information about visitors and users to our site, but this information, as explained above, is both aggregate and anonymous. Your privacy is protected. Occasionally, we employ agents to carry out tasks on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders or processing donations. These agents are bound by our data handling policy to protect your privacy just as we would ourselves.
Righting wrongs
We want to make sure the information we hold about you is correct. If you spot any errors, if your contact details change, or if you do not wish to receive information about Christian Aid or Christian Aid Ltd, let us know. You can contact us by email at info@christian-aid.org
Safe and secure
We maintain a high level of physical and electronic security in relation to the collection, storage and disclosure of your information. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any information we hold about you is protected. When processing financial transactions, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information given over the internet. The software scrambles data transmitted between your computer and our server, where it is unscrambled securely.
However, as we all know, the internet carries risks. While we make every reasonable effort to ensure that information sent to us is done so securely, we cannot warrant the security of information transmitted to us through the internet. When you transmit information to us via the internet, you do so at your own risk.
Changes to Christian Aid's privacy policy
From time to time, we will make changes to this policy to keep it up to date and relevant. Please make sure you check regularly to see what's changed. If you carry on visiting our site after an amendment has been made, this will constitute your acceptance of any amendments we have made to our privacy policy.
