Our legal reasons for collecting and using personal data

We collect your personal data as we have the following legal reasons, called ‘legal bases’ to do this. Sometimes there will be more than one legal basis for collecting and processing your data.

Personal data others may share with us

We never buy personal data from third parties or trade data with other charities.

Where we receive personal data that relates to an individual from a third party, we request that this third party inform the individual of the necessary information regarding the use of their data. We will tell you who we have received your data from.

Where we store your data

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored in our servers which are in the UK. It may also be processed by persons operating in the EU/EEA (European Economic Area) who we have instructed. This may also apply if a main supplier, such as Microsoft uses servers in the EEA. We will ensure that we have appropriate contracts in place that include clear instructions on data protection.

If we do have to send your personal data outside the EEA, we will take steps to ensure that the appropriate security and data protection measures are in place to protect your data.

Security

We take the security of all the data we hold seriously. Staff are trained on data protection, confidentiality and security. We have a framework of policies and procedures which ensure we regularly review the measures we have in place to

keep the data we hold safe and secure. All the equipment and systems that we use have passwords and where appropriate or available, they have additional security enabled.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Uses made of your data

We will process and use your personal data, in line with our obligations under data protection laws.

We use your personal data for the following reasons: to provide you with the services you have requested; to comply with applicable laws and regulations; for administrative purposes; to assess enquiries; and to provide you with information about us and our services.

If, at any time, you do not wish to receive further information about us and our services, you can contact us at the address shown. 

How long we keep your data

We will keep the personal data processed by us in a live environment for as long as is considered necessary for the reason or purpose that it was collected for (including as required by applicable law or regulation).

Personal data may be securely archived with restricted access and other appropriate safeguards where there is a need to continue to keep it longer for example, to comply with other laws.

When we no longer need the personal data, we will securely and confidentially delete or dispose of it.

Disclosure of your data

We may disclose or share your personal data to third parties if we are under a duty to comply with any legal obligation, required to do so by law or a court order, or to enforce or apply any agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or

safety of Nomad Opening Doors, or others. This includes exchanging data with other organisations for the purposes of safeguarding or other statutory regulations we must comply with.

There are times when we have to report to our funders and regulators or other relevant bodies how we have used our funds/budgets and in those circumstances, we will report your data either aggregately or anonymously.

Your Rights

Individuals have certain rights over their personal data and Nomad Opening Doors is responsible for fulfilling these rights as follows:

Individuals may request access to their personal data held by us as a Controller.

Individuals may request us to rectify personal data submitted to us or, where appropriate, contact us via the relevant

website registration page or by amending the personal details held on relevant applications with which they registered.

Individuals may request that we erase their personal data.

Where we process personal data based on consent, individuals may withdraw their consent at any time by contacting us or clicking on the unsubscribe link in an email received from us.

Individuals may have other rights to restrict or object to our processing of personal data and the right to data portability.

Individuals may request data about, or human intervention into, any automated data processing that we may undertake.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please send an email to our Data Protection Office at: [email protected] or write to them at our address shown. Sometimes we are unable to fulfil a right for

legal reasons. If this applies, we will explain this to you.
