For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998, Korle-Bu Family Fund (who is referred to in this privacy policy as KBFF, and whose details are at the base of this page) is the Data Controller (as defined in that Act) and responsible for the operation of this website and for processing any personal data collected via this website. If you have any questions about this privacy policy please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Information Collected
KBFF collects information relating to visitors to our website: for example, IP address and information regarding what pages are accessed and when. We also collect information volunteered by you if you donate, whether online or not, and other information necessary for administering this charity, email address and your preferred means of communication.
Our Use Of Personal Information
a) KBFF is committed to protecting the personal data of its supporters and members. Any details you give us will be held in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
b) KBFF may use information we collect about your visit to our website to help us understand more about how our site is used, with the purpose of continual improvement of the site as a communication medium.
c) From time to time we may want to use the information you provide to us to contact you for direct marketing purposes. However, KBFF will not contact you nor disclose any of your personally identifiable information to third parties, and therefore whenever you supply information to us, either in the course of making an online donation or otherwise, you are given the opportunity to opt out of being contacted by us or us disclosing your information to organisations with similar objectives, either of the above types of contact, using the tickboxes provided.
d) If at any time you are mailed or emailed with information and you do not want to continue receiving it, please follow the instructions provided in the communication, which will tell you how to unsubscribe from receiving further updates.
Online Donations
When you are using our secure online donation pages the information you give, such as your credit card number and contact information is provided so that the transaction can take place. Your gift and credit card information is secured through PayPal.
Access And Amending The Information We Hold
The accuracy of your individual identifying information is important to KBFF. If you wish to know what information we hold about you, or if you change email address, or if any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us via .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Security
When you give KBFF personal information we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely. When you are on a secure page, delivered to you by ourselves, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, indicating that the information is being transmitted in a secure, encrypted form, and held on servers protected by appropriate levels of security. Non-sensitive communication will be transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, KBFF cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use all reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. For the transmission and processing of sensitive information, for example details associated with online donations, we operate in partnership with Paypal, who employ the highly secure encryption technology to ensure the security of the information.
Other Matters
a) KBFF will use your personal information which we have collected according to the principles described above. We will use all reasonable efforts not to transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Union which do not offer the same standards of protection for personal data as the UK. If it is necessary to transfer your personal to such a country we will ensure that we do so in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
b) KBFF will retain information that you provide to us only for as long as it is likely to be relevant to our charitable purposes.
c) Should we make any alterations to this privacy policy, we shall endeavour to bring them to your attention by displaying a message on our home page. However, we advise that you revisit this page from time to time in case any changes are made which you may not be aware of.
