We will never pass your personal data on to other organisations for them to use for their own marketing purposes. In certain instances, we collect and use your personal data by relying on the legitimate interest legal basis. However, we will always provide you with the option to opt-out of hearing from us. Consent and lawful processing of personal data The legal basis for the collection and use of your personal data in marketing activities is that either you have given your consent and/or that it is in our legitimate interests to contact you, as detailed below. Post/telephone marketing If you have provided us with your postal address or telephone number we may send you direct mail or telephone you about our work unless you have told us that you would prefer not to receive such information or we have received a notification from the Fundraising Preference Service that you have requested marketing communications to stop. In order to send you such information, we process your personal information under a legal basis called “legitimate interest”. That means when we are contacting you by phone or post to show you the difference you’ve made and could continue to make, we’ve carefully assessed that we have a genuine and legitimate reason for contacting you and that we are not being too intrusive or harming your rights. We also actively check telephone numbers against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and will only make telephone calls to you where your telephone number is listed on the TPS if you have specifically consented to receive them from The Prince of Wales Hospice. Email/text marketing If you actively provide your consent to us along with your email address and/or mobile phone number we may contact you for marketing purposes by email or text message.

The Hospice will only use this where you have consented to receive further marketing via email. This is achieved by use the email address provided/consented to use to match on social media platform for the purposes of showing them direct marketing. You can opt out of this at any time. Where personalisation and profiling has been undertaken this will also be incorporated to ensure most appropriate communication, which is relevant and timely and will ultimately provide an improved experience for you It's your decision It is always your decision as to whether you want to receive information about our work, how we raise funds, and the ways you can get involved.

We will always respond to your wishes in a sensitive, timely, courteous and professional way. Personalisation and profiling We also carry out targeted fundraising activity to ensure that we are contacting you with the most appropriate communication, which is relevant and timely and will ultimately provide an improved experience for you. In order to do this, we may also use profiling techniques to provide us with general information about you, which you have volunteered, around your lifestyle and purchasing habits. For example, we may let you know about different ways you can support us partly based on ways you have chosen to support us in the past. This means our communications should be relevant and of interest to you and in turn it will help us reduce our costs by only communicating with supporters that want to hear from us. You can opt out of your data being used for profiling. However, this may mean that you stop receiving marketing communications from us or they become more generic and less relevant to you as they are no longer based on your interests in our cause.

Where a supporter is known to be under the age of 13, we will be glad to send an acknowledgement for their support, but will not send marketing communications about other Hospice initiatives. When we collect information about a child or young person we will make it clear why we are collecting this information and how it will be used. Vulnerable person policy Fundraising activities, public support and public trust are all essential to The Prince of Wales Hospice’s ability to provide excellent care to adults with a life limiting illness, and to those who matter to them. We believe that giving to your favourite causes should be a positive experience for all, whether an existing donor or potential new supporter. Everyone should have the opportunity to donate if they are able to, but we recognise that some people will not always have the capacity, to fully understand the nature of the donation they are being asked to give, or the consequences of making that donation. The Prince of Wales Hospice also understands that people in vulnerable circumstances may need further support before deciding whether to donate and we recognise our obligation to protect them. Whenever a fundraiser suspects that a person may be vulnerable; we will take steps to end the engagement whilst protecting their dignity. We will provide alternative options for the individual to engage with us later, respecting the right that everybody has, to donate if they wish to and are able to do so.
