Visitors to our website

When someone visits wellfound.org.uk we use a third-party service, Jetpack for Wordpress, to find out things like the aggregate number of visitors to different parts of the site. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website or to track individual behaviour patterns.There are only two places where personal data is collected:

If a user chooses to make a comment on a page in which case the email address collected is only used for possible correspondence and follow-up about that comment;
If a user signs up to receive newsletters in which case the user's name and email address is stored and used in MailChimp, our newsletter email system – see further details below in the section about our newsletter.

Only two cookies are placed on your computer when you browse our site, both by the third-party service Wordfence for Wordpress which manages site security, preventing hacking and blocking access from suspicious IP addresses, and both cookies are used for this purpose.

People who interact with us on social media

We have an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. We do not collect any personal data other than that which is collected by the social media service itself. The reader is referred to the privacy policies of the social media platforms.

People who receive our regular email newsletter

We email a newsletter to supporters who choose to receive it six to eight times a year. We useMailChimp to manage the distribution list and to send out the newsletters. Supporters names and email addresses are stored in MailChimp only for sending newsletters. Supporters choose to be on the mailing list by filling in the form on our website (http://wellfound.org.uk/keepintouch/) or by otherwise notifying us. Each newsletter contains a clear option to unsubscribe from future newsletters. At anytime, supporters can contact us on contact@wellfound.org.ukand ask to be removed from the distribution list. The information is kept on our distribution list until the person asks to be removed.

People who make donations, either one-off or recurring

We have several ways for people to make donations including:

Cash.
Cheque, BACS transfer, or standing order to our Barclays Bank account.
Online giving via either Virgin Money, BT MyDonate, GlobalGiving or the BigGive.

Other than for anonymous cash donations we will store the name of the donor, address (where given), email address (where given) and the amount given on our Salesforce system which we use as our supporter database. Unless the donor has requested no contact, we will use this information to send an acknowledgement and thank you. Information is retained on Salesforce for six years after the last donation for accounting purposes.Readers are also referred to the privacy policies of Virgin Money, BT MyDonate, GlobalGiving and theBigGive if they chose to donate through these routes.Any of the above types of donation can be gift aided. For cash, cheque, BACS and standing order we will keep the statutory declaration in hard copy form in our Greenford office for six years.
