Web and Mobile Privacy Statement
WOMAC (administered by Essex Community Foundation)
We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should occasionally check this page to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective from 08-Nov-23.
1. What We Collect
We may collect the following information:
- name and job title
- contact and demographic information including email address
- your connections to other organisations (e.g. your employer)
- your preferences and interests
- details of your donations
- records of your interactions with us for example: attendance at events.
2. What We Do With The Information We Gather
We will process your personal information for our legitimate charitable interests, which include some, or all, of the following:
- Internal record keeping
- Recording and processing of donations
- To claim Gift Aid on your donations
- To undertake statistical analysis
- To improve our communication and services

We may combine information you provide to us with information available from external sources to gain a better understanding of our supporters and to improve the services that we provide.
The information that we obtain from other organisations may depend upon your privacy settings or responses you give so you should check them regularly. This information will be obtained from places such as social media and national press.
3. Sharing Your Information
We may share information with external assessors or decision makers. All external parties will have written agreements to ensure the confidentiality of the information.
We may pass data to other organisations, known as Data Processors, to provide specific services to us. An example would be providing data to our administrators, Essex Community Fund. A contract is always in place with a Data Processor, and they are not allowed to do anything with your data other than that which we’ve requested.
4. Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure.
Some of our suppliers run their operations outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Although they may not be subject to the same data protection laws as companies based in the UK, we will take steps to make sure they provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with UK data protection law. By submitting your personal information to us you agree to this transfer, storing or processing at a location outside the EEA.
To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
5. Retention
We will not retain your information for longer than is necessary. This will normally be for a maximum of six years after our relationship with you has ceased although we are occasionally required to hold data for longer periods for specific programmes.
6. Links To Other Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.
