At Macmillan Cancer Support Just Right we are committed to protecting your privacy online. We protect any personal information you give us while you use our websites.
This policy is written in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. By continuing to use this Website you are agreeing to the terms of this privacy policy.
For non-personal information such as IP address (the location of the computer on the internet) and cookies, please see Website Analysis below.
Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you. For example, it can include information such as your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, fax number and credit/debit card details, as well as information relating to your health.
We collect personal information when you ask about our activities, register with us, (for example, registering on a discussion board), order products and services, (such as publications and email newsletters), seek assistance, (ie: by emailing a cancer support specialist), make a donation to us, or otherwise give us personal information.
We use your information in the ways set out below unless you are specifically notified otherwise.
We use your personal information to give you the information, support, services, or products you ask for. We may also use your information for administrative purposes, to let you know about changes to our services or policies, to create a profile of your interests and preferences and, if you agree, as part of our fundraising activities. We will not sell your details to any third parties but we may sometimes also share your information with our trusted service providers who are authorised to act on our behalf, our trading companies, and associated organisations (who work with us to get the information you ask for). In addition, from time to time we may exchange your personal information with other organisations for the purposes of fraud and credit risk reduction. In these circumstances we always require strict compliance with our instructions and, in the case of third party organisations, require that your personal information is not used for their own business purposes.
We will always seek your consent to the use of your personal information, either by giving you the option to say ‘no’ to its use or, in the case of sensitive personal information (for example, information relating to your health) by asking you to tick a box specifically allowing us to use it. When we seek your consent to using your personal information, we will tell you what we want to use it for and, other than as described in this policy, we won’t use it for any other purpose.
Macmillan Cancer Support Just Right is responsible for collecting your personal information. Any information we collect is stored and processed in the UK. Other than as set out in this policy or as required by law, your personal information is not shared with third parties or used in any other way uness you agree.
When we collect your personal information we use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, Macmillan Cancer Support Just Right cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
