  • Your contact details
  • Your date of birth
  • Your bank or credit card details (as relevant to the service provided)
  • Details of the enquiry, service or product
  • Where it is appropriate, we may also ask for additional information which will be explained to you at the time.

We will use your personal data for the legitimate interest of conducting core business activities, these will include:

  • Administer your donation, including processing Gift Aid
  • Provide you with the services, products or information you asked for
  • To present our website and its contents to you and to allow you to participate in interactive features on our website

Sensitive information

We do not collect any personal information on members classified as ‘sensitive’ under GDPR.

Who we share your data with

1) Our service/host providers
In the course of our legitimate business activities, there may be a need for us to share, or give access to, your personal data to third parties that provide us with services or host our applications/software that you may access, for instance:
Banking organisations – those that provide our banking/payment services
IONOS – our hosting service provider
HMRC – for Gift Aid
Give as you Live – our donations database provider
Stripe – our credit/credit card payment facility
We will ensure that data processing agreements, compliant to GDPR, are in place before sharing with, or giving access to, your data with any of our service/host providers.

2) Sharing within the Rotary organisation
The Rotary organisation is made up of Rotary International, The Rotary Foundation (TRF), Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland, the Rotary Foundation United Kingdom (RFUK) and the Rotary GB&I Donations Trust.
When you give information to us it may be shared within the wider organisation to facilitate your donations and to provide the service afforded to you as part of that donation. We will ensure that data processing agreements, compliant to GDPR, are in place before sharing your data within the wider organisation.
Rotary clubs and districts within Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland are data processors for some of your personal information associated with your membership and will process your data in accordance with the Rotary GB&I privacy notice. Clubs and districts also collect personal data for their individual club and district activities and are therefore also independent data controllers. This means they are also legally responsible for protecting your data under GDPR legislation whilst in their safekeeping and will have their own privacy notices in this respect.

3) Sharing with third parties
We will never commercially sell your personal data to anyone else.

We will only ever share your personal data in other circumstances, not listed above, if we have your explicit and informed consent at the time of collection. However, we may need to disclose your details if required to the police, other agencies, for example HMRC, regulatory bodies or our legal advisors.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

We will only keep your information for as long as we need it to assist you with your enquiry, donation, or other services. There are statutory timescales on how long we should keep some of your information and we will ensure that we will abide by these regulations. We shall delete your information according to statutory limits, or according to guidance issued by the Information Commissioner or as outlined in specific event/data collection privacy policy statements.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
