Privacy Notice for End Customers

1. Introduction

Mary Frances Trust (“MFT”, “we, “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we collect about users of our services (“you/your”).

The purpose of this privacy notice is to explain what personal data we collect about you when you use or enquire about our services.

Please read this privacy notice carefully as it provides important information about how we handle your personal information and your rights. If you have any questions about any aspect of this privacy notice you can contact us using the information provided below or by emailing us at info@maryfrancestrust.org.uk.

2. What is personal data?

“Personal data” is any information from which you can be identified, either directly or indirectly. For example, your name or an online identifier.

“Special category personal data” is more sensitive personal data and includes information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data for the purposes of uniquely identifying someone, data concerning physical or mental health or data concerning someone’s sex life or sexual orientation.

3. Personal data we collect

We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal data about you. When we do so we are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The personal data we collect includes your name; date of birth; your address; your house and/or mobile telephone number; email address; important information about your emotional/mental and physical health; next of kin; GP and other professionals details – this is to help us work together and provide better support for you.

4. How we collect your personal data

We collect most of this personal data directly from you (or the person that refers you to our service) when you complete the referral form. However, we may also collect information if you contact us via email, post or telephone.

When you visit our website, www.maryfrancestrust.org.uk, some information may be stored to enhance your experience and help you navigate the site, but also to help us make our website user-friendly and useful. For more details on information collected through our website, please check our Cookies Policy.

5. Purposes for which we use your personal data and the lawful basis

When providing services to you, we will mostly rely on your consent or our legitimate interests in providing the best service to you. Where we collect or process your special category data, we rely on the basis of our processing being done by a not-for-profit body as a part of our legitimate activities.

However, in some circumstances we may also process your data when it is in your vital interests or where we are required to comply with a legal obligation. In these circumstances we would also rely on the provision of health care basis under Article 9 UK GDPR.

We may also use your personal data to respond to your enquiries and provide you with information about MFT and give you the choice to select services that work for you and that you find interesting. When we do so we rely on our legitimate interests in providing information to interested parties.

Although we do not usually rely on the performance of a contract to process your personal data, where this is the case and you choose to not provide your personal information, we will be unable to provide our services to you.

6. Sharing your personal data

Most importantly, we will never share any information we hold about you for any marketing purposes. We may, however, share relevant information with your GP or other professionals providing support to you where required. In addition, we may share your personal data with our partners who help organise and set up events and activities on our behalf.

If the sharing of data involves the transfer of special category data, we will not do so without your explicit consent.

We also provide anonymous statistics about people we provided services for to our founders and commissioners, however, this does not include any identifiable information.

7. International Transfers

When we collect your personal data, it may be processed outside the UK. This is because the organisations we use to provide our services to you are located in other countries.

We have taken appropriate steps to ensure that where personal data processed outside the UK, it has an essentially equivalent level of protection as it has within the UK. We do this by ensuring that:

• Your personal data is only processed in a country which the Secretary of State has confirmed has an adequate level of protection (an adequacy regulation); or
• We enter into either International Data Transfers Agreements (IDTAs) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with the receiving organisations and ensure that supplementary measures are also applied, where necessary.

8. How long we keep your personal data

We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide you with our services and for a reasonable period thereafter to enable us to meet our contractual and legal obligations and to deal with complaints and claims.

At the end of the retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data, so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and planning.

9. Security of your personal data

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data and protect it from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and from unauthorised disclosure or access.

In addition to the technical and organisational measures we have put in place, there are a number of simple things you can do to in order to further protect your personal information, such as;

1. Never share a One Time Passcode (OTP).

2. Always send confidential information by encrypted email where possible this reduces the risk of interception.

3. If you’re logged into any online service do not leave your computer unattended.

4. Close down your internet browser once you’ve logged off.

5. Never download software or let anyone log on to your computer or devices remotely, during or after a cold call.

Secure Online Services

10. Your rights

You have certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, including to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “Subject Access Request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request rectification of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. If you object to us using your personal data for marketing purposes we will stop sending you marketing material.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to another party (data portability).
• Automated decision-making. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which will significantly affect you. We do not use automated decision-making.

Right to withdraw consent

In the circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we are permitted by law to do so.

How to exercise your rights

You will not usually need to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances. If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at info@maryfrancestrust.org.uk.

11. How to complain

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, if you believe we are infringing the UK data protection laws or you are concerned about the way in which we are handling your personal data. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) who can be contacted online at:

• https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/
• Or by telephone on 0303 123 1113
