What information do we collect?

Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive.

We do not usually collect special categories of data about our supporters unless there is a clear reason for doing so such as participation in a run or walk or similar fundraising event or where we need to ensure we provide the appropriate facilities or support to enable you to participate in an event – such as providing us with medical information for certain events, such as overseas challenges.

How do we use your information?

We may use your personal information for:

  • Dealing with your enquiries requests and complaints
  • Providing you with information about our work activities events and services, if you have given us consent to do so

Marketing

Being able to communicate with you is important, as your support will ensure we can help the men and women affected by male cancer. We believe in being open, honest and transparent with our supporters and want you to feel comfortable about your decision to give us your personal information and how we use it.

We will only use the details you provide to us, to communicate with you about how we are transforming the lives of men affected by male cancers across the UK through the work of our services and research, if you have given us permission to do so.  We would also like to tell you how your support is helping and other ways you can help in the future whether that’s through volunteering, events or fundraising. From time to time we might also send you appeals asking for a donation to help change men’s lives.  Similarly, we will only do so if you have given us permission and actively opted in, clearly specifying your communication preferences.

We promise that we will only communicate with you in the way you wish us to and we will always respect your privacy. You can change your mind at any time and its quick and easy to let us know that you no longer want to hear from us by calling us on 020 3745 7310 we will always respond to your wishes in a sensitive, timely, courteous and professional way.

Please be assured that we will take appropriate measures to keep your personal information safe and secure and we promise not to over contact. We will never pass your personal information on to other organisations for them to use for their own marketing purposes.

In certain instances, we collect and use your personal information by relying on the legitimate interest legal basis. This is because when you, for example, request to receive services or products from us, we have a legitimate organisational interest to use your personal information to respond to you and there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information for this purpose. We will always provide you with the option to opt-out of hearing from us. In most instances, however, we will rely on obtaining your consent to our use of your personal information. This is the case, for example, where we seek to obtain your consent to receive email marketing from Orchid

We will only communicate to you in the way you have told us. For example:

Email/text marketing

If you actively provide your consent to us along with your email address and/or mobile phone number we may contact you for marketing purposes by email or text message. By subscribing to Orchid’s emails or opting in to email communication from Orchid, you grant us the right to use the email for email marketing.

Post/telephone marketing

If you have provided us with your postal address or telephone number we may send you direct mail or telephone you about our work unless you have told us that you would prefer not to receive such information or we receive a notification from the Fundraising Preference Service that you have requested marketing communications to stop. We also actively check telephone numbers against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and will only make telephone calls to you where your telephone number is listed on the TPS if you have specifically told us that you do not object to such calls and have consented to receive them from Orchid.

 It’s your decision

It is always your decision as to whether you want to receive information about our work, how we raise funds and the ways you can get involved. If you do not want us to use your personal information in these ways please indicate your preferences on the form on which we collect your data.

You may opt-out of our marketing communications at any time by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in at the end of our marketing emails or sending us an “opt-out” text message following the instructions we provide you in our initial text.

You can also change any of your contact preferences at any time including telling us that you don’t want us to contact you for marketing purposes by calling us on 020 3745 7310 or email admin@orchid-cancer.org.uk.

We also carry out targeted fundraising activity to ensure that we are contacting you with the most appropriate communication, which is relevant and timely and will ultimately provide an improved experience for you. For example, by providing timely news about our work, letting you know the different ways you can support us and how you can help raise funds.

We may also use your personal information that we have gathered in the course of our relationship to understand the likelihood of you responding to a fundraising communication from us, potentially donating and in some instances donating or supporting us at a higher level. Because we have a greater understanding of you, this means our communication will hopefully be relevant and of interest to you and in turn it will help us reduce our costs for communication by only communicating with supporters that want to hear from us. To assist us with this work we may use third-party service providers to assist us in this process. For more information on how we work with third parties, please see ‘Disclosures’.
