The legal basis we use under the General Data Protection Regulation for the processing of personal data:

  • Our legitimate interests as the Sir Peter O’Sullivan’s charitable trust
  • Your consent
  • Any Legal Requirement we may have

Processing through use of our Legitimate Interests

Broadly speaking this means that we are processing your personal information if:

  • We have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming any of your rights and interests

The legitimate interests we pursue are to run a charity in favour of the well-being of all our members, donors, employees, trustees and for the good of the recipient charities of our support.

When you provide your personal details to us we use your information for our legitimate business interests to carry out our work providing help and support to animal-related, racing welfare and equine causes in the UK. Before doing this, though, we will also carefully consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights.

Some typical examples of when we might use this lawful basis are for direct marketing such as sending reminder cards via post to individuals who have attended one of our events as a delegate in the past, maintaining the security of our system, data analytics, research, enhancing, modifying or improving our services, identifying usage trends and determining the effectiveness of our campaigns and fundraising.

Direct marketing/Fundraising is generally seen as an important tool, but we want to respect the wishes of the recipients of these communications. For this reason, we have undertaken a balancing test to compare our legitimate interests versus your interests and indeed fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data.

We believe that the recipients of our marketing have a reasonable expectation that the trust will store and process their Personal Data in this manner.

Our assessment has taken into consideration the technical and organisational security measures that the trust is implementing in 2018 and the safeguards being put in place in regard to your privacy, and the protection of your personal data.

The trust conducts Data Protection Impact Assessments with outputs that support privacy by design and default and include:

  • Always ensuring we have identified a legal basis for processing;
  • We are transparent about we use personal data via our privacy notice;
  • Data minimization and only requesting or retaining information we absolutely need de-identification and anonymization;
  • We have ensured that we have commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed;
  • Adding extra transparency;
  • Data retention limits depending on what we’re using it for;
  • Restricted access to systems;
  • Where appropriate encryption, hashing, salting; other technical security methods used to protect data;
  • Privacy training;
  • Engaging a data privacy consultant

The likelihood of impact and the severity of negative impact of our processing on your data has been assessed and deemed to be negligible.

Processing using Consent

There are certain circumstances, particularly in regards electronic marketing and fundraising communications where we may need consent from you, in order to process your data.

If this is the case we will ensure that the consent that you we request and you provide is by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of your agreement to the processing of personal data relating to you.

The trust is monitoring future developments in EU electronic marketing regulation presently being in debated and subject to change via the EU Council. EU Parliament and newly formed European Data Protection Board.

Email Marketing and Fundraising

We conduct this email marketing in adherence with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation which derive from the European Directive 2002/58/EC.

If you make a donation, we’ll use any personal information you give us to record the nature and amount of your gift and thank you for your gift. If you interact or have a conversation with us, we’ll note anything relevant and store this securely on our systems.

Charity Commission rules require us to be assured of the provenance of funds and any conditions attached to them. We follow a due diligence process which involves researching the financial soundness, credibility, reputation and ethical principles of donors who’ve made, or are likely to make, a significant donation to the Trust.

We’ll always act upon your choice of how you want to receive marketing communications (for example, by email, post or phone). However, there are some communications that we need to send.

These are essential to fulfil our promises to you as a donor or buyer of goods or services from the Trust. Examples are:

  • Transaction messaging, such as payment confirmation, donor purchase confirmations and event booking confirmations and chase ups

Who your information is shared with
