Privacy Policy
This privacy statement applies specifically to the Website and member communications facilities of Voluntary Action Waltham Forest (VAWF). The facilities contain public areas which may be viewed from any Internet connected PC. Other areas are restricted to access by members of VAWF. It is important to VAWF that its members and customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all that VAWF and its services have to offer. Your privacy is important to us. We therefore operate based on a number of principles:
The information you give us in registering your membership of VAWF web site will be stored securely. This web-site is hosted by a third party who is under an obligation to hold the information securely and confidentially in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and is prohibited from making use of the information itself. If any of the information you have given us changes at any time, you can directly change this record yourself by clicking the 'my profile' button in the top right box on your page, after you are logged in. You can set your own preferences for information receipt and can change these at any time. Thus for example, should you choose not to ‘opt-in’ for news of VAWF forums, no specific communications on that subject will be sent to you.
VAWF will use this information to communicate with you by e-mail, or by text message, to improve our website and to personalize our service to you. For example we may provide you with newsletters, activity information, advice, recommendations, funding or information on services that we think will interest you, according to the preferences you have determined. We will also use the information for our own internal membership administration and for statistical analysis.
We will share information about groups with other Voluntary and Charitable organisations, statutory organisations and other identified key partners unless you tell us not too. We will not share information regarding individuals who register with the site. We will also share information in order to comply with our legal obligations, to enforce the terms and conditions of use of our web-site or to protect and defend the rights and interests or property of VAWF, or other members. We will only share information that we deem is appropriate and if we feel it is in your interests to do so.
VAWF will not store your personal information or transfer your personal data to countries outside the United Kingdom.
By disclosing information about you to us on our web-site or in any other way, you consent to the use of that information in the manner set out in this policy.
As required by Data Protection legislation, VAWF has notified the Data Protection Commissioner of the types of information we hold, the purposes for which we hold it and the third parties to whom we may disclose it. We are registered to hold, and share, information regarding your details for the following purposes: (4) Realising the objectives of a Charitable Organisation or Voluntary Body – recipients are yourselves; healthcare, social and welfare advisers; business associates, consultants and other professional advisors; employees and agents of the data controller; suppliers, providers of goods or services; persons making an enquiry or complaint; voluntary and charitable organisations; members including shareholders; customers and clients of the data controller for goods and services. You may choose to opt out of making any information public at any time by notifying the administrator.
Notification of change of Privacy Policy We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement. Should this happen, we will post a notice of the change on the website, and you will be deemed to have accepted the changes.
