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 Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

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.

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.

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.

13. Website Analytics

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.

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:
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:
