1. How we collect information
We collect information about you in the following ways:
- DIRECTLY – you may give us your information in order to sign up for one of our events, tell us your story, make a donation, purchase our products or communicate with us.
- INDIRECTLY – your information may be shared with us by independent event organisers, e.g. the London Marathon or sites like JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving. These independent third parties will only do so when you have indicated that you wish to support Children with Cancer UK and with your consent. You should check their Privacy Policy when you provide your information to understand fully how they will process your data.
- We sometimes use external companies to collect or process personal data on our behalf for fundraising purposes. For example, we use an organisation that manages our weekly lottery; one for our telephone fundraising and one for dealing with direct debits, but we are responsible for your data at all times. We do comprehensive checks on these companies before we work with them, and put appropriate contracts in place that sets out our expectations and requirements, especially regarding how they manage the personal data they collect or have access to and we regularly monitor their activities for us to ensure their compliance.
- VIA OTHER ORGANISATIONS – you may have provided permission for a company or other organisation to share your data with third parties, including charities, e.g. when completing a lifestyle survey
- INFORMATION AVAILABLE PUBLICLY – we may combine information you provide to us with information available from external sources in order to gain a better understanding of our supporters. This may include information found in places such as Companies House and information that has been published in articles/newspapers
- INFORMATION COLLECTED AS YOU USE OUR WEBSITE – like most websites, we use “cookies” to help us make our site – and the way you use it – better. Cookies mean that a website will remember you. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which enables the server to collect information from the browser. Essentially, it takes the form of a small text file deposited on your computer’s hard drive. This makes interacting with a website faster and easier – e.g. by automatically filling your name and address in text fields. There are more details in Section 10, ‘Do we use Cookies’.

The type and quantity of information we collect and how we use it depends on why you are providing it.

Where it is appropriate or required, we may also ask for:
- Your age or date of birth

- Why you have decided to support us. We will never make this question mandatory, and only want to know the answer if you are comfortable telling us.

We will only contact you via SMS (text) and email where you have given your consent for us to do so.

In the instances where you receive these calls and mailings, you will be given the opportunity or told how to opt out of receiving calls and/or post in the future.
We will not use your information for marketing/fundraising purposes if you have asked us not to. However, we will retain your details on a suppression list to help ensure we do not continue to contact you.
