Heartburn Cancer UK is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy sets out the way in which we collect and store your personal information and is in line with the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679. 

We only store personal information about you when you enquire about our activities, register with us, make a donation to us or otherwise provide us with your personal details. The types of personal information we may collect include your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, fax number and credit/debit card or bank details.

We will use your personal information to provide you with the services, products or information you have requested, for administration purposes and to further our charitable aims, including for fundraising activities and to provide you with information about our charitable services that you have requested or that we feel may interest you, where you have consented to being contacted for that purpose.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that the personal information disclosed to us is kept secure, accurate and up to date and kept only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is used.

You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you (for which we may charge a small fee) and to have any inaccuracies in your personal information corrected. If your personal details change, please help us to keep your information up to date by notifying us. We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement. If we do so, we will post notice of the change on this website.

Your data may also be available to our website provider to enable us and them to deliver their service to us, carry out analysis and research on demographics, interests and behavior of our users and supporters to help us gain a better understanding of them to enable us to improve our services. This may include connecting data we receive from you on the website to data available from other sources. Your personally identifiable data will only be used where it is necessary for the analysis required, and where your interests for privacy are not deemed to outweigh their legitimate interests in developing new services for us. In the case of this activity the following will apply:

1. Your data will be made available to our website provider
