This policy describes how Stump Up For Trees collects and uses the information given to us by you. It sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines our obligations to our users, and also what our users agree to when you use our website. The way we process, store and protect user information is set out in this policy. This policy is available on our website.
Stump Up For Trees is a charity based in South Wales which aims are to mitigate climate change and increase biodiversity through woodland creation and education.
Stump Up For Trees collects and uses information about supporters in order to carry out our work. There is also a legal requirement to keep information for some situations, for example, processing Gift Aid donations. We recognise that the correct and lawful treatment of this data is necessary for you to have confidence in our organisation.
This policy explains what data we keep and how we make sure your data is safe and secure. The personal data we hold is subject to legal safeguards in the General Data Protection Regulation 2018.
This policy applies to all staff, interns and volunteers as well as contracted workers. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact us – our contact details are at the end of this document.
There are pages on our web site that will ask you provide personal information, for example if you wish to be kept informed of our activities, if you wish to make a donation or take part in an online campaign. How much data we ask for will depend on what you would like to do. If, for example, you wish to receive news of our activities, we will only ask for a name, email address, organisation and a post code; if however you would like to donate or make a direct debit, then you will be asked for more details, including a full address and account details. By providing us with your personal information, you are consenting to the collection and use of that information as defined by this policy.
We will not keep your personal information longer than necessary. We will retain that information while you wish us to communicate with you, or while you are donating to us. If you wish us to cease communications, we may need to retain your contact information so that we do not inadvertently get in touch with you.
If you use our website to sign up for communications, you will be asked to indicate what you would like to hear about (for example newsletters, campaigns or events). We will only send emails to you about the preference that you have selected. If, in the future, we decide to offer other updates, we will ask you before we send communications on other subjects. We do not currently contact individuals by telephone – we would seek your permission first if we decided to do that in future.
Both our website and emails that we send to you will contain a means of changing your communications preferences, with the option of opting out completely. Emails that we send may be monitored to help us evaluate which emails appeal most to you.
If you wish to contact us directly about communications, our contact details are at the end of this document as well as on our website.
We will not sell or rent your data to any other organisation unless there is a legal requirement for us to do so.
There are links to social media sites (for example Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) on our website. Please be aware that, if you choose to follow these links, they may ask for access to your data on their sites.
We use third party companies for various purposes, for example, to send emails and to store data. These third party companies are only authorised to use that data in order to provide their service to us and are not permitted to use it for any other reason. We are responsible for your personal information and periodically check these service companies terms of business while they perform services for us.
