Privacy Policy

How we respect privacy when we deal with personal
information collected by our organisation

This Privacy Policy applies to information we (The Stock Exchange Clerks Fund) collect about individuals we support and others who interact with our organisation. It explains what personal information we collect and how we use it.
‍
If you have any comments or questions about this notice please use the ‘Contact Us’ form on our website (www.secfund.org.uk).

1. Personal data that we process

The following table explains the types of data we collect and the legal basis, under current data protection legislation, on which this data is processed.

2. How we use your data

We will only use your data in a manner that is appropriate considering the basis on which that data was collected, as set out in the table at the top of this policy.
‍
For example, we may use your personal information to:

• reply to enquiries you send to us;
• make an initial and ongoing assessment of the charity’s ability to provide you
  financial support;
• To contact you on an agreed periodic basis.

3. When we share your data

We rarely share any data collected by the charity, but would only pass your data to third parties in the following circumstances:

• you have provided your explicit consent for us to pass data to a named third party;
• we are required by law to share your data.

In addition, we will only pass data to third parties outside of the EU where appropriate safeguards are in place as defined by Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

4. How long we keep your data

We take the principles of data minimisation and removal seriously and have internal policies in place to ensure that we only ever ask for the minimum amount of data for the associated purpose and delete that data promptly once it is no longer required.

Where data is collected on the basis of consent, we will normally seek renewal of consent annually, but at least every three years.

5. Rights you have over your data

You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:

• Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any time.
• You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your information.
• You have the right of access to your information.
• You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner if you feel your rights have been infringed.

A full summary of your legal rights over your data can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website here: www.ico.org.uk

If you would like to access the rights listed above, or any other legal rights you have over your data under current legislation, please get in touch with us.

Please note that relying on some of these rights, such as the right to deleting your data, will make it impossible for us to continue to deliver some services to you. However, where possible we will always try to allow the maximum access to your rights while continuing to deliver as many services to you as possible.

6. Modifications

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time and will publish the most current version on our website. If a modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we'll notify people whose personal data we hold and is affected.
