The BDA Benevolent Fund, an independent charity, believes it is important to be transparent in all our processes. Part of this is making you aware of what happens with your data. This website collects cookies and there is a Cookie Policy giving you further information regarding this.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
There is a link on this website to sign up to receive our newsletter. We hope you will have an ongoing relationship with the charity and want to understand what we are doing. The newsletter is managed via MailChimp, sent periodically (no more than 6 times per year) and will always feature a link for you to unsubscribe should you no longer want to hear from us. No data is saved on the website.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you have visited the other website.
Contact us
Details sent via the contact us, or via the links in our website will be received as an email in the office and will be dealt with according to the nature of the query.
Donations
Donations through this website are sent via a third party site (JustGiving) and a new window opens. Therefore, we do not collect funds directly and their Privacy Policy applies. If you have sent in donations through a BACS transfer, in person or via cheque, we will keep your name, email address and postal address (where relevant) to process and record this information and make any Gift Aid claims and prepare our accounts and management reports. This is retained in accordance with our legal obligations.
Applications
The charity assesses requests for help via an application form. This can be sent in via email or in the post to the office address. The information included on the form will remain confidential and only seen by relevant Trustees and the office staff. Security of information is important and we use passwords when sending around applications for consideration and redact details which aren’t relevant to the decision making process. Files are kept according to our Retention policy.
