Privacy Policy
Fashion Impact Foundation respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect, how we use it, how it is protected and the rights you have under UK data protection law.
Who we are
Fashion Impact Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established to advance arts and culture, develop education and skills, and support children, young people and families.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Fashion Impact Foundation is the data controller for personal information collected through this website and through its charitable activities.
Information we may collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect information including:
- your name;
- postal address;
- email address;
- telephone number;
- information you provide when making an enquiry;
- information supplied when registering an interest in one of our programmes;
- volunteer or participation information;
- information provided in connection with a grant application;
- donation information;
- communication preferences;
- information provided when subscribing to updates or newsletters;
- technical information relating to use of our website, including IP address, browser type and device information; and
- information collected through cookies or similar technologies where applicable.
We only collect information that is relevant and necessary for the purpose for which it is being used.
How we use your information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries;
- administer charitable programmes and activities;
- process applications and expressions of interest;
- communicate with volunteers, participants, beneficiaries and supporters;
- administer grants;
- process and acknowledge donations;
- maintain appropriate financial and governance records;
- keep you informed about our work where you have asked us to do so;
- manage partnerships and relationships with supporting organisations;
- improve the operation and effectiveness of our website;
- protect the security of our systems; and
- meet our legal, regulatory and charitable obligations.
We will not sell your personal information.
Our lawful basis for using personal information
We process personal information only where we have a lawful basis to do so.
Depending upon the circumstances, this may include:
- your consent;
- taking steps at your request before entering into an arrangement with you;
- performing an agreement;
- complying with a legal obligation;
- pursuing our legitimate interests as a charity, provided those interests do not override your rights; or
- carrying out activities necessary in connection with our charitable purposes.
Where special category personal information is required, we will only process it where an additional lawful condition applies.
Donations
Donations made through the Fashion Impact Foundation website may be processed by a third-party payment provider.
The payment provider will process the information necessary to complete your transaction securely. Fashion Impact Foundation does not normally receive or retain your complete payment-card details.
We may receive information such as your name, contact details, donation amount, transaction reference and payment status in order to record and acknowledge your donation and meet our accounting and regulatory obligations.
Donations received by Fashion Impact Foundation are applied towards the Foundation’s charitable purposes and programmes.
Where Gift Aid is claimed, we will retain the information required by HM Revenue & Customs in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Sharing personal information
We will only share personal information where there is a legitimate reason to do so.
This may include sharing information with:
- organisations providing services to the Foundation, such as website, payment, IT or professional service providers;
- delivery partners where this is necessary for a charitable programme or activity;
- regulatory, governmental or law-enforcement bodies where required by law; and
- professional advisers where appropriate.
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to protect that information appropriately and use it only for the agreed purpose.
We do not share personal information with commercial organisations for their independent marketing purposes without your consent.
How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, regulatory and safeguarding requirements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
Although no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we regularly review the measures used to protect the information entrusted to us.
Your data protection rights
Under UK data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- ask us to erase personal information;
- restrict how we use your information;
- object to certain uses of your information;
- request the transfer of information to another organisation; and
- withdraw consent where consent is the basis on which information is being processed.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are concerned about the way your personal information has been handled.
Marketing communications
We will only send marketing or promotional communications where we are permitted to do so.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the communication or by contacting us.
