At WithYou, we use people’s data for a number of reasons, and we always clearly state what lawful basis we have to process data. If you have asked us to send you information about our fundraising activities, products or services, we will use your personal details to send you what you have asked for. We do this because you have given us your consent to use your data for this purpose.
Under data protection law, you have the right to change your mind and withdraw your consent for us to use and store your personal information. There are some exceptions to this, more information is available on the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) website, or you can contact our IG team at data.protection@wearewithyou.org.uk
We will only share your personal information with appropriately trained staff and volunteers. We will never share it with a third party unless necessary to process your donation or if you have explicitly requested it in writing.
Sometimes we may want to let you know by post about our latest fundraising news and updates, or about changes in our products and services. When we do this, we will use your contact details to send you this information. Under the law, using your data for this purpose is called legitimate interest.
We may send you, for example:
If you support our charity by donating or undertaking an event or by volunteering, we will retain your personal data in line with applicable law and regulations, and with our policies and current best practice. Whilst we hold your personal information, it will be adequately safeguarded and subsequently disposed of securely once it's no longer needed.

We use a third party provider for the webchat service on www.wearewithyou.org.uk, www.thinkaction.org.uk and their subdomains. This software is provided by Livechatinc and staffed by With You.
LiveChat has their own privacy policy, which we would suggest you familiarise yourself with if you have any concerns about how they may use your personal data.
To record, use or share your personal information we must ask for your consent.
Our web chat will ask you to give your consent prior to starting the conversation. However, before we share any information we will again ask for your consent and explain why we need to share the information and with whom.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any point during the chat or afterwards. You can do so by either talking to the advisor or, if it is after the conversation, by emailing the IG team at data.protection@wearewithyou.org.uk.
If you use the webchat service there’s information that is visible to us, including your IP address, where on our website you’ve come from and the type of device you’re using.
Your email address will be visible to the advisor in the transcript if you choose to have the transcript sent to it after your conversation with us.
We keep the transcripts of individual chats in a secure online database for two years, in case you come back to us with a query, or if you decide that you want a copy of your personal data. in line with data protection law.
Webchat advisors are able to see what you’re typing. This speeds up how quickly we can get you the right support.
Our advisors won’t ask for personal information that identifies you. The only identifiable information that we have when someone accesses the webchat is the IP address of the device they you’re using.
We may use and share aggregated information for training and quality assurance purposes to deliver, advertise and improve our services. Aggregated information is data that has been mixed together and summarised. Individuals can’t be identified from the summary.
With You doesn’t sell, trade or rent any personal information provided by you in any transcript, survey or recording for direct marketing or any other purpose, except as stated in this privacy policy or with your consent.
If it is felt that there is immediate danger to you, or to another individual, we may share your IP address with the police. They will be able to trace the IP address back to the device that was used. We would only do this if there was real concern for your or someone else’s immediate safety.

We use the information you enter on your application for recruitment purposes. We may also use your information to help us improve our systems and processes, but we will remove any identifiable information first.
