This Privacy Statement sets out the data processing practices of Big Hearts Community Trust for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998 and related legislation, through the use of the internet and the World Wide Web. Please read and agree to these terms prior to signing up or sending us your details in any electronic communications or for any online transaction.

Big Hearts Community Trust collects personal information from visitors to this website through the use of enquiry and order forms, and every time you email us your details. We may monitor and collect the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors to our site, and this information may be used for analysis and statistical purposes.

We also store some information in cookies. Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This information is used to track visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. For further information visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org. You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the above websites tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases some of our website features may not function as a result.

We will use the details you provide us for the provision of information about services, and for administration, sales and marketing. If you have agreed to volunteer for Big Hearts, we will also use your information to administer our volunteer scheme and contact you with volunteering opportunities. We may need to disclose your details to our agents and other service providers for these purposes. We may assess your suitability for certain services we provide and reserve the right to decline your request if this is considered justified.

We will not share your details with third parties other than those agents and service providers used to meet your requirements. By your provision of personal information to us, you consent to our processing sensitive personal data about you where this is necessary, for example health information, and are protected under the laws of the United Kingdom and other countries.

Given that the internet is a global environment, using the internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data internationally. Therefore, by browsing this website and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of your personal data in this way.

Big Hearts Community Trust respects your right of privacy. If you tell us that you do not wish to have your personal information used in the ways we have specified, we will respect your wishes.
