How we use your personal details
​
At Elliot's Footprint, we rely on the generosity and support of private individuals like you to carry out our vital work. That is why we want to be completely transparent about why we need the personal details we request when you support us and how we will use them.
​
When we will get in touch
​
When you give us your personal details - for example, when you make a donation, sign a petition, volunteer or campaign with us, sign up to receive email updates, or register for an event - you may receive follow up information from us directly relevant to this activity, including how your support is helping.
If you have provided us with consent to use your details for marketing purposes, then we may also contact you about our projects, fundraising activities and appeals, and other ways to support us. Where you consent to us sending you marketing information, we will treat this as lasting for 2 years unless we tell you otherwise at the time. We provide easy ways to stop our marketing, and you can opt out at any time.
You, our supporters, really are the life-blood of Elliot's Footprint. We always act on your instructions and we aim to put you in control of your relationship with us. Our aim is to communicate with you in a way that makes you want to stay involved with us for as long as possible, as you see the value and impact of your support.
​
We will not share your data for others' marketing purposes
​
Please be assured that you will not receive offers from other companies or organisations as a result of giving your details to us.
We may need to share limited information with our service providers who help us to prepare and send you our communications or process your donations and other responses. However, we do not allow these organisations to use your data for their own purposes and take care to ensure that they keep your data secure, and delete it when it is no longer needed.

​
What details we ask for and why
​
There are minimum levels of information we need to obtain for different purposes - such as donating money or signing up to Gift Aid. We always ask for your name and title so we know how to talk to you.
We may ask for your house number and postcode so that we hold a valid postal address for you. We might need this information for the following reasons:
-
To set up Direct Debits and one-off card payments
-
To claim Gift Aid
-
To deliver items to you (event materials for example)
