That’s because we may need to ask a project, and event, or the support arrangements that are in place.

Analytics
As you browse this website, we may collect information on your visit and how you move around different sections of the site for analytics purposes.

This helps us to understand how people use our website so that we can make it more intuitive.

We may also keep a record of the content on our website that you’ve clicked on, and this may involve the use of cookies.

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you.  Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that and your help screen or manual will tell you how to do this. However, you will not be able to take full advantage of our website if you do so. 

Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Although they do identify a user’s computer, cookies do not personally identify users and passwords and credit card information are not stored in cookies.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

All personal data processed by us is stored securely (the level of security being appropriate to the nature of the data concerned and the other relevant circumstances). 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website and any transmission is at your own risk. 

Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access

We do not share your details with anyone outside of the Friends of St. George’s

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We process personal data only for so long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected.

After this time, it will be deleted or archived except to the extent that it is necessary for us to continue to process it for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject or for another legitimate and lawful purpose.
