What is Personal Data?
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) defines “personal data” as:
“any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”.
Why does OWET need to collect and store personal data?
We generally only hold your personal details to keep informed you of our projects and activities and to process any donation. Exceptionally, we may need to hold other details. This will be for a specified purpose and the reason and extent of this will be made clear to you. In either case, it is your legal right to see the personal data we keep about you. If you wish to do so, please contact us at enquiries@ourworldeducationaltrust.co.uk.
OWET will process your data (i.e. collect, store and use) in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR at all times and shall endeavour to keep your personal data up-to-date, ensuring its accuracy and will not keep it for longer than it is required. In some situations, there are set legal requirements for the length of time that we will retain your personal data.
We shall never be intrusive or invasive of your personal privacy and shall not ask you to provide data that is irrelevant or unnecessary and we will enact strict measures and processes to ensure that the risk of unauthorised access or disclosure of your personal data is minimised as much as possible.
