The list below sets out a more detailed guide as to how we use your personal data and the purpose of the processing of your data.

Under the UK GDPR and the DPA, we must have a legal reason to collect, keep and use your data. We rely on the following legal basis for processing your data:

a. Consent

b. Legitimate Interests

We process your personal data for our legitimate interests to allow us to run The Dicky Buckle Fund as a charitable entity effectively and in pursuit of our aims and objectives. When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection laws. We will always ensure that your personal data will not be used where our interests are overridden by the impact on you.

The following are some examples of instances where we process your data for our legitimate interest:

Direct marketing: We will send email marketing and fundraising requests which further the aims and objectives of The Dicky Buckle Fund and don’t unduly impact the rights of the individual.


Profiling and analysing information: We may occasionally carry out research to help us understand our donors and potential donors, including gathering information from publicly available resources to give an insight into philanthropic interests and ability to support The Dicky Buckle Fund.

We review records of our supporters and volunteers to ensure your data is as accurate as possible. We always appreciate it if you let us know if any of your contact details change.

We will always seek to hold your data securely and will take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or alteration.

Access to donor/supporter information is strictly controlled and can only be accessed by people who need it in order to do their job.

However, please be aware that the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure. Therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures to prevent unauthorised access.

All employees, trustees and data processors (i.e. those who may process your personal data on our behalf), who have access to, and are associated with the processing of your personal data, are obliged to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us in line with the standards set out in the GDPR.

Data is only held by us for as long as is legally or practically necessary for our charitable work.

We are committed to protecting your data and therefore it will never be sold to external organisations.

We may share personal data with third parties who process our data for the purposes of providing services to you, such as email providers, digital file storage providers, payment processors and digital marketing platforms.

We may occasionally share your data with Covent Garden Dance or other organisations who work closely with The DBF and offer access to their venues, artists or performances which enable us to hold our charitable events.

Where we enter into a relationship with an external party, any such arrangements are subject to an agreement between The Dicky Buckle Fund and that organisation to protect the security of your data.

Finally, we will share data with the appropriate authorities (e.g. police, law enforcement agencies and other parties) where we have a legal obligation. For example, for the detection and prevention of fraud, or where data is required in relation to a criminal offence.
