We want to be clear with you about how we use your personal information and data. We want to treat you fairly, lawfully and in an open way.
“Personal information” includes any information that could be used to identify you such as your name, home address, national insurance number, passport number, images and other contact information. We hope to have answered all your questions and you can also read our full Data Protection Policy here.
If you have any questions about your personal information, please get in contact with us. The person in charge of your personal information at the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is CEO, Frank Fletcher. Frank can be contacted by:
The vast majority of data we hold is given to us by you, but sometimes we obtain some of it from elsewhere. If you are under 18 years old your personal information will need to be provided to us by your parent or guardian.
We collect personal information about you when you come on or register your interest in coming on an Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust trip, if you volunteer or register to/use your skills to support us in some other way, make a donation, sign up for an event, submit a fundraising enquiry, order merchandise, apply for a job, visit our website or otherwise give us your personal information.
If you are joining us on a trip, we will ask a member of your hospital team for information on your treatment. We will ask your consent before doing this.
If you are fundraising, your information may be shared with us by third parties. For example, if you create a fundraising page or crowd funding page via JustGiving or any other third-party fundraising platform, we will have access to data about these fundraising pages created by users (such as your name, email address) so we can understand who is fundraising for our benefit and in turn contact you about your fundraising efforts. This data will not be used for marketing purposes unless you opt in to this.
If you donate via JustGiving or any other third-party fundraising platform and provide your consent, we will collect contact information on you from these sites. These sites share details about donations made to us, including your personal data (such as your name, email address and postal address). We will only receive your personal details if you opt-in to receive communications.
Young people and trips
We collect medical information on everyone who joins us on one of our trips or events (young people, volunteers, staff, contractors, and our guests). This is vital information to keep you and others safe, so we ask you to provide your explicit consent to our collecting your health data. Indeed, we have a legal obligation to collect some of this information.
We can’t keep people safe if you remove this consent so if you decide to change your mind, or do not provide consent, we would not be able to allow you to join us onboard and may not be able to allow you to continue to help us for an event that is not water related.
We will need to keep in touch with you about your trip or event so have both a legitimate interest and a legal obligation in collecting your personal information.
We have a legal obligation to process Disclosure & Barring Service (called the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme in Scotland) checks on Trustees, staff, contractors, and volunteers who have contact with young people and vulnerable adults.
Fundraising and donations
We collect personal information about our donors to enable us to process their donations (including regular donations via Direct Debit) and from the purchasers of our merchandise. The lawful basis for processing this information is because we have both a legal obligation (HMRC, Gift Aid, Charity Commission) and a legitimate interest in so doing.
We collect your contact information as we have a legitimate interest in keeping you up to date with the work of the Trust and, possibly, in asking for further support. We will ask for your consent for us to contact you for fundraising and/or marketing purposes.
Employment and recruitment
We use personal information on our employees to process payroll, pensions and undertake our responsibilities to HMRC. The lawful basis for this processing is that we have both a legal obligation and a legitimate interest. We share this data with our accountant / payroll services provider.
We retain information about unsuccessful job applicants for two years to facilitate individual feedback requests from applicants, and to enable us to comply with any reporting requests.

We do not share personal information unless it is necessary and appropriate to do so.
We will share the following information:We may send data to two organisations outside of the UK.
MailChimp - based in the United States of America.

We only keep your information for as long as we need. Unless stated otherwise in this Notice, we will keep your contact details for seven years whilst we still have a legitimate interest or legal obligation to do so.
We do not hold your medical information for more than two years after your last trip or event with the Trust unless there was an incident or accident, which means there is a reason for us to do so. In that case, we will keep this information for seven years but delete it earlier if the matter is resolved with our no longer having a legitimate interest or legal obligation to retain it.
We have to keep the information about donations for seven years as it may be relevant to Gift Aid. With our staff, the information will be retained for seven years for HMRC purposes.
You have the right to see the personal data the Trust holds on you. This is called a subject access request. If you wish to do this, contact our CEO Frank Fletcher on the details above.

If you inform the Trust that the personal data that we hold on you is incorrect, we will correct it within 30 days of you letting us know. If we hold lots of personal information on you it may take us a maximum of two months to make any corrections.
Yes, you can ask us to delete any personal information we hold on you. We will do so unless there is a legal obligation that prevents us from dealing with your request or an overriding legitimate interest for us to continue with the processing (or both). We aim to delete your information within 30 days of any request but if we hold a lot of personal information on you it may take us a maximum of two months. We will inform you once we have deleted all of your personal information.
We know how important personal information can be and take special care to keep the information secure which we only share when necessary and appropriate. We have policies and procedures to do this to which our staff and anyone who has access to your information are required to adhere. If your personal information is accessed or disclosed when it should not have been, we will inform both you and the relevant authorities.
