Withdrawing your consent and/or objecting to our processing

Where we originally relied on consent to process your personal data, you will always have the right to withdraw that consent.

Similarly, where we originally relied on our legitimate interests to process your personal data, you always have a right to object to our processing of that personal data. However, we do not have to stop processing that personal following your objection where we are able to demonstrate either:

  • We have compelling legitimate grounds to process that personal data which override your interests, rights and freedoms; or
  • We require to data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
    Your right to object to legitimate interests processing is, however, absolute if it relates to processing for marketing purposes.

We highlight where these rights apply in the table of data processing activities above, and in this paragraph we provide detail of how to go about withdrawing your consent or objecting to our legitimate interest processing.

Withdrawing your consent to direct marketing, or objecting to our legitimate interest processing for direct marketing purposes

Below we set out the easiest way to withdraw your consent to, or opt-out from, marketing communications.

However, you can always contact us by calling us on 02380 579833, emailing us at contact@hendyfoundation.org or writing to us at: Hendy Foundation, School Lane, Chandler’s Ford Industrial Estate, Eastleigh, Hampshire SO53 4DG.

  • If we are not yet processing your personal data (i.e. because this is your first contact with us): You can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us by ticking the appropriate box on the form which you complete (whether on our website or via a paper form), or by contacting us at any time using the details set out above.
  • If you previously opted-in to marketing or did not opt-out at the time you gave us your details (as the case may be): You can withdraw your consent or opt out by clicking the unsubscribe link which we include on all of our electronic marketing communications, or by contacting us at any time using the details set out above.

Objecting to non-marketing legitimate interests processing

To object to any of our non-marketing processing based upon our legitimate interests (as highlighted in the processing activities table above), please contact us using the contact details at the top of this policy.

Where we obtain your personal data from

We obtain personal data from the following sources:

  • You, for instance where you contact us about the charities and causes that we support, or in conjunction with our fundraising activities;
  • From other charities or causes who may be working in partnership with you/ us;
  • Occasionally from other third parties who may lawfully pass to us information about you, but never for marketing purposes; and
  • If you apply for a position with the Foundation.

Persons with whom we may share your data:

In general, access to your personal data will be restricted to those who have a need to access it in order to carry out their duties (for example, our trustees or accountancy team).

However, we will also share your personal data with the following external third parties in some circumstances:

  • Regulators and government authorities such as HMRC or the police, if we are required to do so by law or if the regulator or authority requests it and we regard that request as reasonable;
  • Fraud prevention agencies or other third parties that assist us in preventing fraud or loss;
  • Our insurers, legal advisers or other third parties who need access to it in the context of managing, investigating or defending actual or potential claims or complaints;
  • Organisations that process your data on our behalf which are not allowed to use your data for any other purpose (which include, for instance, marketing agencies or data management firms).

Transfers outside of the European Economic Area

In certain limited circumstances, we may export personal data outside of the European Economic Area for processing, and we may use third party service providers who do the same.

We only do that if there is a good reason to do it and where adequate safeguards (such as the appropriate contractual arrangements with suppliers, or adequacy decisions, depending on the destination country) are in place.

Your rights

The law gives you certain rights in respect of the personal data that we hold, which you should be aware of:

  • You have the right to obtain your personal data from us except in limited circumstances. Where we provide it, the first copy will be free of charge, but we reserve the right to charge a small fee for additional requests.
  • You have the right to require us to rectify any inaccurate personal data we hold concerning you.
  • Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you may also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, by means of providing a supplementary statement or otherwise.
  • You have the right to require us to erase your personal data on certain limited grounds (including where they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected or where you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal ground for the processing).
  • Where we process personal data, either on the basis of consent or contractual necessity, you provided the personal data to us, and we process that personal data by automated means, you have the right to require us to give you your data in a commonly used electronic format.
  • You have the right to object to our processing of personal data which we process on the grounds of our legitimate interests, although we do not always have to honour your objection. For more information see the section above titled “Withdrawing your consent and/or objecting to our processing”.
  • You have the right to require us to restrict the processing of your personal data on certain grounds, including where:
    • You contest the accuracy of the personal data and want us to restrict processing of your personal data while we verify its accuracy;
    • The processing is unlawful, but you request a restriction of the processing rather than erasure;
    • We (as controller) no longer need the data for the purposes of the processing, but you have told us you require us to retain that personal data for you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
    • You have objected to us processing your personal data on grounds of legitimate interests and want us to restrict processing of your personal data while we consider your objection.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details set out at the top of this policy.

If we can’t remedy an issue you have

Should you have any complaints or issue with our treatment of your personal data, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk).
