Given the nature of Our services, We may collect special category data.

We do not intentionally or knowingly collect or process criminal convictions and offences data where We are acting as a Data Controller under this Privacy Notice.

What is the purpose and lawful basis for processing my personal data?  

The applicable lawful basis for Our processing will differ depending on the legislation that is applicable:

  • Where you are from the UK, UK data protection legislation applies

  • Where you are from the EU, EU data protection legislation applies


Please see below for information on the personal data processed, purpose, and the applicable lawful basis:

We may, in further dealings with you, extend this personal data to include your purchases, services used, subscriptions, records of conversations and agreements, and payment transactions. 

The legal basis for processing your personal data is based on compliance with a Legitimate Interest, Legal Obligation, or your Consent that We will have requested/stated at the point the information was initially provided, therefore, We will not store, process, or transfer your data unless We have an appropriate lawful reason to do so. 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which We collected it, unless We reasonably consider that We need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. 

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, We will notify you and We will explain the legal basis which allows Us to do so.  

Please note that We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law. 

How We keep you updated on Our products and services 

We will send you relevant news about Our services in a number of ways, including by email, but only if We have a Legitimate Interest or your Consent to do so. Where We rely on Legitimate Interest, We have completed a Legitimate Interest Assessment for the processing activity, or, for data of UK residents acting in a business environment, We rely on the Corporate Subscriber exemption.  

When We send you marketing by email, each email communication will have an option to object to the processing. If you wish to amend your marketing preferences, you can do so by following the link in the email you receive from Us and updating your preferences, or by contacting Us at dpo@cancerawarenesstrust.org.

How long does Cancer Awareness Trust keep my personal data? 

The period for which We will retain personal data will vary depending on the purposes that it was collected for, as well as the requirements of any applicable law or regulation. We retain data in line with our Data Retention Policy.

We may also retain your personal data for longer periods where We need to exercise, establish, or defend against legal claims. When personal data is no longer required, We delete or anonymise data in line with Data Protection Legislation and appropriate industry guidance. 

What are my data rights and can I object to you processing my personal data? 

It is important that the personal data We hold about you is accurate and current.  Please keep Us informed if your personal data changes during your engagement with Us. 

 Where We are acting as a Data Controller, and under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to: 

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a Data Subject Access Request).  This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data We hold about you. 

  • Request correction of the personal data that We hold about you.  This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information We hold about you corrected. 

  • Request erasure of your personal data.  This enables you to ask Us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for Us continuing to process it.  You also have the right to ask Us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing. 

  • Object to processing of your personal data where We are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.  You also have the right to object where We are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. 

  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask Us to suspend the processing of personal data about you. 

  • Request the transfer of your personal data to another party. 

  • Right to withdraw Consent. In the limited circumstances where We are processing your data on the basis of Consent you have provided Us, and We have no other legal justification or obligation to continue the processing, you have the right to withdraw your Consent for that specific processing at any time. 

For your protection and to protect the privacy of others, We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.  

If you object to Us using your personal data or withdraw Consent for Us to use your personal data (when We are processing your personal data based on your Consent) after initially giving it to Us, We will respect your choice in line with applicable law. 

If you would like to exercise any of these rights or would like to confirm the accuracy of your information, please contact dpo@cancerawarenesstrust.org.

Automated decision making 

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making. 

How do We protect your personal data 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, We limit access to your personal data to those employees, contractors, and trusted third parties who have a business need-to-know basis for the purpose of supporting Us to deliver Our services.

Will Cancer Awareness Trust share my Personal Data with other organisations? 

We may disclose the personal data We hold about you to:

  • With companies affiliated with Us when this is necessary to deliver Our services. 

  • Your employer or the corporate entity that you represent, solely for the purposes of providing the Services to you and/or your employer where We have a contract with your employer or the company you represent.

  • Third party companies in the event that We are involved in a corporate transaction, such as an actual or potential merger, joint venture, consolidation, or asset sale. We may, from time to time, expand or reduce Our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of Our business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of Our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Notice, be permitted to use that data only for the purposes for which it was originally collected by Us.

  • Our professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants, auditors, financial services providers, and other professionals.

  • Our service providers as Data Processors on Our behalf, including IT hosting companies. We may engage other companies and individuals to perform functions on Our behalf. We use Data Processors who are third parties who provide elements of services for Us. We have Data Processor Agreements in place with Our Data Processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal data unless We have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal data with any organisation apart from Us or further Sub-Processors who must comply with Our Data Processor Agreement. They will hold your personal data securely and retain it for the period We instruct. Further, they must process the personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable data protection laws. Examples include data storage and hosting, sending newsletters, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer services.  

  • Law enforcement agencies, courts, and other relevant tribunals. 

Will my data be processed outside my home country?

Where We transfer personal data to Our Affiliates or other third parties outside of the European Economic Area, We will ensure that those transfers take place in accordance with the applicable data protection laws designed to ensure the privacy of your personal data, including by entering into data transfer agreements with recipients. If you would like more information about how your personal data may be transferred, please contact Us at dpo@cancerawarenesstrust.org.
