At Faith in Public we commit to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people, how we use the data, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.
We may change this policy from time to time, so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you are happy with any changes. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this policy.
Any questions regarding this policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to [email protected].
Who are we?
We are Faith in Public. Our registered address is First Floor, 10 Queen Street Place, London, England EC4R 1BE.
How do we collect information from you?
We obtain information about you when you use our website, get in touch with us through our online contact form, make a donation, contribute to one of our research groups, or if you register with us during one of our events.
What type of information is collected from you?
The personal information we collect might include your name, address, email address, IP address, information regarding what web pages you access and when accessed, telephone number, and limited biographical data that you give us such as topics you're interested in or events you are attending.
How is your information used?
We may use your information to process a donation that you have made, process a grant or job application, seek your views or comments on the services we provide, notify you of changes to our services, or to send you communications which you have requested or related communications that may be of interest to you. These may include information about events, new publications, and fundraising activities.
We review our retention periods for personal information on an ongoing basis. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity.
Who has access to your information?
We will never release or transfer your personal data to third parties for marketing or other commercial purposes other than our own activities. The only exceptions would be where we are required to do so by law, for instance in response to a court order, or if you have specifically asked us to do so.
We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.
When you are using our secure online donation pages, information may be accessed and retained by a third-party payment processor who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions please contact us.
We may transfer your personal information to a third party if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply
our terms of use or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our supporters. However, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
Your choices
You have the right to choose whether or not you wish to receive information from us. If you do not want to receive any more information, please contact us at [email protected].
How you can access and update your information
Please email us at hello@faithinpublic if you wish to exercise your legal right under the Data Protection Act 2018 to request a copy of the information we hold about you, if you would like us to correct any information we hold about you, or if you want to have your data with Faith in Public deleted. We will act on all requests in line with the Data Protection Act.
Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information
When you give us personal information, we take reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected using SSL certification, or an equivalent technology. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear in web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Non-sensitive details (such as your email address) are transmitted over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems and third-party providers such as email or event management services.
We will put in place effective processes to help avoid data breaches. We will report any data breach or loss of data within 72 hours to the Information Commissioner's Office, and you will be contacted as soon as possible if your data is compromised.
