Your rights in relation to our

WHY ARE WE ALLOWED TO PROCESS
YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
This policy takes into account
several laws, including:
·
the Data Protection Act 2018
·
the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations
2003
·
UK General Data Protection Regulation
Generally,
our processing of your personal information as described in this policy is
allowed by these laws based on one or more lawful grounds, including:
·
Where you have provided your consent to us using your personal
information in a certain way.
·
Where the processing is reasonably necessary for the performance of a
contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to
entering a contract.
·
Where the processing is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal
obligation to which we are subject.
·
Where the processing is reasonably necessary for the purpose of a
legitimate interest pursued by us or a third party and your privacy rights do not
override the legitimate interest. Our “legitimate interests” include
pursuing the aims and ideals of Save the Children through advocating and
campaigning for the welfare of children, supporting children and families
through our work in the UK and globally, and fundraising through direct
marketing campaigns, emergency appeals, special events and our retail
shops. However, “legitimate interests” can also include your
interests, such as when you have requested information from us, and those of
third parties, such as our beneficiaries.
