Children’s Data
We will only collect data for children under 13 years of age with consent from their parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly accept online donations from those under 13 years of age, or up to 18 years of age without a parent or legal guardians’ consent. If interacting with us through social media, it is important to adhere to their policies.
Media Content (photo, video and audio content)
To promote our work at Clear Public Space and A Future Without Rubbish CIC, and to share the contribution of those we engage with via our school programmes and consultancy work authentically, we may take a range of photographic, video and audio content. This content may be used in our website, publications, press releases, social media platforms and promotional materials. When an individual is clearly identifiable in such content, we will ask for explicit consent from the individual (aged 13 and above) or from the parent/guardian of the individual (under 13 years of age) before this is shared publicly. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and we will take action to remove the content where possible (we may not be able to remove publications already in the public domain). To withdraw consent or request further information, please contact us at info@clearpublicspace.org.

We will only use your data in a manner that is appropriate considering the basis on which that data was collected. For example, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:
-
Replying to enquiries and requests - we may use your personal data to ensure a relevant response.
-
Handling donations or other transactions that you initiate – we will process necessary personal information to allow us to fulfil your intention of donating or delivering a confirmation message.

When we share your data
We will only ever use your personal information for the purpose that it was obtained. We will never, under any circumstances, sell your information to a third party.
We will only pass your data to third parties in the following circumstances:
-
you have provided your explicit consent for us to pass data to a named third party;
-
we are using a third party purely for the purposes of processing data on our behalf and we have in place a data processing agreement with that third party that fulfils our legal obligations in relation to the use of third party data processors; or
-
we are required by law to share your data (HMRC for tax regulation purposes, Fundraising Regulator or Companies House).
In addition, we will only pass data to third parties outside of the EU where appropriate safeguards are in place as defined by Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
In some scenarios, we may share anonymised data with funders and partners - to demonstrate the impact and reach of our work. We may also ask for additional consent to use data, such as school name, or media for these purposes.
How long we keep your data
We take the principles of data minimisation and removal seriously. We will hold onto your personal information in our systems for as long as it is deemed relevant for example when a financial transaction has taken place, we will securely store your personal data for as long as the law requires us for tax and/or accounting purposes (this could be up to 7 years.) If you request to stop receiving marketing materials, we may need to keep a record of some contact details and information to enable us to comply with your request. If you apply for a volunteering role or job with us, we will keep your data for 6 months after it has been received or if you are unsuccessful. If successful, we will retain your data for the duration of your employment and deleted 2 years after you leave. Where data is collected on the basis of consent, we will seek renewal of consent at least every three years.
Rights you have over your data
You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:
-
Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any time and we will make it as easy as possible for you to do this (for example by putting ‘unsubscribe’ links at the bottom of all our marketing emails)
-
You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your personal data
-
You have the right of access to your data

You have the right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority such as the Information Commissioner’s Office if you feel your rights have been infringed.

Please note that relying on some of these rights, such as the right to deleting your data, will make it impossible for us to continue to deliver some services to you.
