Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust is a leading nature conservation charity based in Lincolnshire and our registered charity number is 218895. We are also registered as a company in England and Wales under registration number 461863.
Within the context of this policy ‘we’ means the charity and its subsidiaries.
We are committed to keeping the personal details of our members and supporters safe. This policy explains how and why we use your personal data, to ensure that you remain informed and in control of your information.
Any reference to Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, the Trust, or to ‘we’ or ‘us’ refer to:
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust
Lapwings Consultants Limited, our charitable trading company (registered company number 02724695). The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, which trades only to raise funds for our charitable organisation.
We use three key definitions to describe people mentioned in this policy. These are definitions used by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent body set up to uphold information rights (www.ico.org.uk).
‘Data subject’: this is you, one of our local members and supporters. As the data subject, we respect your right to control your data.
‘Data controller’: this is us, the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. With your permission, we determine why and how your personal data is used (as outlined in this policy).
‘Data processor’: this is a person, or organisation, who processes your data on our behalf, with your permission. For example, this might be a mailing house who sends your membership magazine to you, on our behalf (due to the size of our organisation, it’s more cost-effective to outsource ad-hoc and large-scale tasks like this).
When we work with other organisations or individuals in this way, we always set up a written contract with them to protect your data. The third parties we work with at no point ‘own’ your data, so you will never hear from them independently and they will always delete your data from their systems when they have completed the task in hand. We always send your data to partner organisations securely, to minimise the risk of it being intercepted by unknown individuals and/or organisations.
We will never sell your personal data.
