2. Personal Information We May Collect


The information we collect depends on how you interact with us.

It may include:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • postal address;
  • telephone number;
  • account or membership details;
  • information you provide when creating or managing an account on our website;
  • information contained in enquiries or correspondence you send to us;
  • files or documents you choose to attach to an enquiry;
  • information relating to donations or financial contributions;
  • event registrations, attendance or enquiries;
  • communication preferences;
  • information you voluntarily provide in connection with OBA UK's charitable activities;
  • technical information relating to your use of our website, such as IP address, browser and device information, where collected by our website or service providers; and
  • information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

We seek to collect only personal information that is reasonably necessary for our activities.


3. How We Collect Your Information


We may collect personal information directly from you when you:

  • contact us through the website;
  • email, telephone or otherwise communicate with us;
  • create or use an online account;
  • make or enquire about making a donation;
  • register for, attend or enquire about an event;
  • participate in an OBA UK activity;
  • ask to receive information from us; or
  • otherwise provide information voluntarily.

Certain technical information may also be collected automatically when you use our website through cookies and similar technologies.

In some circumstances, we may receive personal information from third parties where this is necessary for our charitable activities and we have a lawful basis for processing it.


4. How We Use Personal Information


We may use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries and correspondence;
  • administer website accounts;
  • manage donations and maintain appropriate financial and charity records;
  • organise and administer events and activities;
  • communicate with members, supporters, donors and others who interact with OBA UK;
  • carry out and administer our charitable projects;
  • maintain appropriate administrative and financial records;
  • protect the security and proper operation of our website;
  • prevent fraud or misuse;
  • comply with legal, regulatory and charitable obligations; and
  • understand and improve our website and activities.

We will not use personal information for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected unless permitted or required by law.


5. Our Lawful Bases for Processing Personal Information


UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon:

Consent – where you have given us permission to use your information for a particular purpose.

Legitimate interests – where processing is reasonably necessary for the legitimate administration and activities of OBA UK and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Legal obligation – where we need to process information to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

Contract – where processing is necessary to enter into or perform an agreement with you.

Where we rely upon consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.


6. Donations and PayPal


OBA UK welcomes donations and contributions in support of its charitable purposes.

Donations may be made by bank transfer or, where available, through PayPal.

Where a donation is made through PayPal, payment information is processed by PayPal. OBA UK does not receive or store the donor's full card or payment-account credentials used by PayPal.

PayPal processes personal information in accordance with its own privacy terms.

We may receive information relating to a PayPal donation, such as the donor's name, contact information, donation amount, transaction details and other information necessary to administer and record the donation.

We may use donation information to:

  • administer and acknowledge donations;
  • maintain appropriate financial records;
  • fulfil our accounting, charity and tax obligations; and
  • communicate with donors about their donation where appropriate.

We do not sell donors' personal information.


7. Website Accounts


Our website provides account registration and sign-in functionality.

If you create an account, we may process information such as your name, email address, login information and information associated with your account.

We use this information to create and administer your account, authenticate access and provide relevant website functionality.

Please keep your login information confidential and contact us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorisation.


8. Contact Forms and Google reCAPTCHA


When you use our website contact form, we collect the information you provide so that we can receive, assess and respond to your enquiry.

This may include your name, email address, message and any file or document you choose to attach.

Please avoid including sensitive or unnecessary personal information in an attachment unless it is relevant to your enquiry.

Our website may use Google reCAPTCHA to help protect forms against spam, fraud and automated misuse.

Where reCAPTCHA is used, Google may process certain technical and usage information in accordance with Google's applicable privacy terms.


9. Children and Young People's Information


OBA UK's charitable purposes include supporting the education of pupils and young people.

We recognise that children's personal information requires particular care.

We do not seek to collect children's personal information unnecessarily through the general website.

Where OBA UK needs to process information relating to a child or young person in connection with a scholarship, educational project, charitable activity or other legitimate purpose, we will seek to collect only information that is reasonably necessary and take appropriate measures to protect it.

Where appropriate or required, information may be obtained or processed with the involvement of a parent, guardian, school or other responsible organisation.

We will not use children's personal information for unrelated commercial marketing.


10. Sharing Personal Information


We do not sell or rent personal information.

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with:

  • trustees and authorised persons acting on behalf of OBA UK;
  • our website hosting and technology providers, including GoDaddy;
  • email and communications providers;
  • PayPal, banks and other financial institutions involved in donations or payments;
  • professional advisers such as accountants and legal advisers;
  • King’s College Budo, Budo Junior School or relevant organisations in Uganda where necessary for an OBA UK charitable project;
  • regulators, government bodies or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law; and
  • other service providers acting on our behalf.

Where another organisation processes personal information on our behalf, we seek to ensure that appropriate data protection arrangements are in place.


11. Website Hosting and GoDaddy


Our website is built and hosted using GoDaddy Websites + Marketing.

GoDaddy provides website hosting, security, website functionality and website traffic and performance services.

GoDaddy may process technical information relating to visits to the website and may process information submitted through features provided by its platform.

Some information processed through GoDaddy's services may be stored or processed outside the United Kingdom.


12. Cookies and Similar Technologies


Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies and technologies are necessary for the website to operate correctly, maintain security and provide requested functionality.

We may also use optional cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our website and to improve its performance and visitors' experience.

When you visit our website, our cookie banner allows you to Accept or Decline optional cookie tracking.

Optional tracking that requires consent will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can decline optional cookies without being prevented from accessing the general content of our website, although disabling certain technologies may affect some website functionality.

Where available, you may change your cookie choices through the website's cookie controls or your browser settings.


13. Website Analytics


GoDaddy provides website traffic and performance information through its website platform.

We may also use Google Analytics in the future to help us understand how visitors use our website and to improve its content, performance and usability.

Where Google Analytics is enabled, it may collect information about how visitors interact with the website, including technical information about devices, browsers and website usage.

Where consent is required for analytics cookies or similar technologies, Google Analytics will be used subject to our cookie consent arrangements. Visitors can decline optional tracking using our cookie banner.

Google processes information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own privacy terms.


14. International Transfers


Some of OBA UK's charitable activities concern King’s College Budo and Budo Junior School in Uganda.

There may therefore be circumstances in which personal information needs to be shared with an appropriate person, school or organisation in Uganda for the purposes of our charitable work.

Some of our technology and payment service providers may also store or process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps required by applicable UK data protection law to protect that information.


15. Marketing and Communications


We may communicate with members, supporters, donors and others about OBA UK activities, events, fundraising or other matters connected with our charitable purposes where we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.

Where consent is required for electronic marketing, we will seek that consent.

You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by using an unsubscribe facility provided in the communication, where available, or by contacting:

info@oldbudonian.co.uk

Administrative or transactional communications relating to an existing enquiry, donation, event or account are not necessarily marketing communications.


16. How Long We Keep Personal Information


We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to satisfy applicable legal, accounting, regulatory and reporting requirements.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

For example, financial information relating to donations may need to be retained for longer than an ordinary website enquiry because of accounting, charity or tax requirements.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.


17. How We Protect Personal Information


We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Access to personal information is limited, where reasonably practicable, to trustees, authorised persons and service providers who require it for legitimate purposes.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.


18. Your Data Protection Rights


Depending upon the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:

  • be informed about how your personal information is used;
  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • ask us to erase personal information in certain circumstances;
  • ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances;
  • object to certain processing;
  • request transfer of certain information where the right to data portability applies; and
  • withdraw consent where processing is based upon your consent.

Not every right applies in every circumstance.

To exercise a data protection right, please contact:

info@oldbudonian.co.uk

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.


19. Complaints


If you have concerns about how OBA UK has handled your personal information, please contact us first so that we have an opportunity to investigate and respond.

You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

Further information is available from the ICO at ico.org.uk.


20. Third-Party Websites


Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations, including social media platforms, payment providers and organisations with which OBA UK works.

Those organisations operate independently and may have their own privacy policies.

OBA UK is not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites. We recommend reviewing their privacy information before providing personal information to them.


21. Changes to This Privacy Policy


We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our activities, website, service providers or legal requirements.

The current version will be published on this website and the “Last updated” date will be changed accordingly.
