The Greenlands is committed to keeping your personal information secure and to being transparent about how we collect and use your data so you can have confidence when learning about, and supporting us. The purpose of this policy is to help you understand what personal information The Greenlands collects, how we use it and what your rights are. We take care to ensure that we use your information in accordance with all applicable laws concerning the protection of personal information.
This policy applies to all the pages hosted on this site and other services The Greenlands UK runs. It does not apply to pages hosted by other The Greenlands sites around the world, or to other organisations to which we may link and whose privacy policies may differ.
Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated. It may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.
The Greenlands collects personal information about you only when you sign up to receive the newsletter. See The Mailchimp Cookie page for more information.
To comply with UK data protection rules The Greenlands will always ensure we have legal justification for collecting and using your personal information.
The legal basis that we rely on will depend upon the circumstances in which we collect and use your personal information. In almost all cases, our processing of your personal information will fall into one of the following categories:
The Greenlands uses our personal data in a variety of ways which include the following:
The Greenlands uses industry-standard tools to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. We make every effort to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
We always use a secure connection when collecting personal information from you. Most web browsers support Secure Socket Layers.
We endeavour to keep all supporter data inside the European Economic Area (EEA), and ensure that any time data is transferred outside the EEA appropriate safeguards on data security and processing are applied.
Within The Greenlands, only those authorised to process your data can access your data. We work hard to ensure our staff and volunteers can only see the data they need to perform their tasks. All our staff are trained to understand data protection and what they need to do to keep your data secure. We review our data awareness training regularly to ensure it is up to date. We ensure volunteers are given appropriate data awareness and protection training where they are responsible for handling data, for example, if they are collecting petition signatures at an event.
We will never sell or swap your details with other organisations.
For example, if you follow one of our affiliate links, the information that is passed from us to our affiliate is sufficient only to identify us to the affiliate. Any data that you disclose to the affiliate is subject to their own policy.
Data collected by The Greenlands will be retained only for an appropriate length of time.
When we no longer need to retain your personal information we will ensure it is securely disposed of.
You have the right to ask us to delete personal information we hold about you in some circumstances, for example, if we are processing the data on the basis of consent and you wish to withdraw that consent.
Our newsletters contain a link which you can follow to alter the related data, and one that you can follow to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
In all other cases, please use the contact form on this web site.
The Greenlands believes in treating all people with respect and dignity. We strive to create and foster a supportive and understanding environment in which all individuals involved realise their maximum potential, regardless of their differences.
