Privacy Notice

The Saturday Club Trust takes privacy very seriously and is registered with the Information Commissioners Office (no ZA315350).

This Privacy Notice outlines what information we collect through our website and how we use the information. When we refer to “we” or “us” in this notice, we are referring to the Saturday Club Trust.

Please note that a new privacy notice for supporters and donors is being drafted and will be published in late spring. This will be more detailed and will contain a deeper description and broader scope of processing than currently described in this Privacy Notice.

How we use your information
We only ever use your personal data if we are satisfied that it is lawful and fair to do so.

We will ask for your consent before we use your information to send you our newsletter. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Keeping your data secure
We have security measures in place.

Sending information over the internet is generally not completely secure, and we can’t guarantee the security of your data while it is in transit. We have appropriate procedures and security features in place to keep your data secure once we receive it and to prevent it from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

We may pass on your personal information if we have a legal obligation to do so, which could include sharing the data with statutory bodies such as the police or the National Crime Agency.

We won’t share your information with any other organisations not named in this Privacy Notice for marketing, market research or commercial purposes, and we don’t pass on your details to other websites.
