At Cancer Fund for Children, our supporters mean everything to us. Without your support we would not be able to make a meaningful difference to the lives of hundreds of children and families across Northern Ireland who receive our services.

Respecting our valued supporters
Cancer Fund for Children is committed to helping children and families affected by cancer in Northern Ireland by providing practical and emotional support, as well as free therapeutic short breaks. We are here to support young people and their families from the point of diagnosis, throughout their treatment, and sadly in some cases bereavement.

Information sharing and disclosure
The protection of your information is really important to us, and we are extremely sensitive and cautious in how we use it. That is why we promise that we will never sell your information to a third party. We also promise that your information will only ever be shared with our most trusted partners solely for our own charitable purposes.
We do comprehensive checks on these companies before we work with them and they are only permitted to use the data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, GDPR and any other relevant legislation under our strict instructions.
Statistical Analysis
To help us ensure that our fundraising campaigns are efficient, effective, and not annoying to people, we may conduct statistical analysis of donors using a variety of demographic profile data obtained from third parties such as Facebook or from our own CRM. This helps us identify how best to use our resources as efficiently as possible and also how to minimise the annoyance to our donors and supporters that can be caused by too frequent requests for support.
This analysis is carried out on anonymised data sets and donors and supporters are then matched to specific categories called “segments”. These segments are used to help support fundraising campaign planning and execution.
You can ask to be excluded from this type of analysis by contacting consent@cancerfundforchildren.com but you may receive a greater number of fundraising requests than otherwise or you may receive communications from us that might not be relevant to you or your lifestyle and donation history.
Profiling
Cancer Fund for Children will occasionally analyse our database and the information that we hold about you. We do so in order to improve the efficiency, cost effectiveness and relevance of our communication with you (profiling), you will be informed about this as soon as possible, but at the latest when we contact you as a result of such profiling by reference to this privacy statement.
We may occasionally use geo-demographic and/or other personal information which may include identification of individuals’ capacity to give, through a process called ‘wealth screening’, using publicly available information sources. We may also carry out our own research into our supporters, again using publicly available information or information that you provide us with. This allows us to tailor our fundraising and marketing activities to make them as appropriate as possible for our supporters and reflect their interests as closely as possible.
If you would prefer us not to process your personal data for the purpose of wealth screening, we will respect your wishes.
If you do not wish to be subject to such profiling or wealth screening or wish to update your contact preferences, please contact Gillian on 028 9080 5599, who will happily address your request or email gilliandourish@cancerfundforchildren.com
Use of Third Parties
In an ideal world, we’d be able to do all of this ourselves. However, to get the right technology, the best tools, and the right team helping us, Cancer Fund for Children engages the services of a variety of third-party service providers. These include: Payment Processing Services (e.g. Stripe and Justgiving), Marketing Agencies, Data Analytics and Market research companies, Email Service providers (e.g. Mailchimp), Survey management tools (e.g. SurveyMonkey), GivePanel for Facebook Fundraising, and Postal Mail Marketing companies.
Conducting Surveys of Donors and Supporters
We like to know how well we are doing in meeting your expectations. From time to time we engage in surveys of donors and supporters. These surveys are also a great opportunity for us to make sure we have correct and up to date information on donors and supporters. If you don’t want to receive surveys from us you can opt-out at any time by contacting consent@cancerfundforchildren.com.
E-Cards
When you purchase an e-Card from our online shop, the recipient’s email address remains on our database for 30 days to ensure they have time to click on their card. To ensure compliance with GDPR, the recipient’s email address is deleted after this period.
Accuracy of Information
To help us ensure that any communication you wish to receive from us reaches you, it’s important that all the information we hold about you is accurate and kept up to date. If any of the information we hold about you is inaccurate and either you advise us or we become otherwise aware, we will ensure it is amended and updated as soon as possible.
Staying in touch
We really like keeping you up to date on how your support is making a difference by sending you updates about our work. We also like to keep you informed about other ways you may like to support Cancer Fund for Children. Our communications with you may include:
Cancer Fund for Children operates an ‘opt-in only’ communication policy for email communication and an ‘opt-out’ policy for contact by mail. This also ensures that if you wish to hear from us that you receive our updates in a format that is most suitable for you (email or post).
If you would like to receive such communications from the charity but have not opted in, please contact us on 028 9080 5599 or info@cancerfundforchildren.com. You can also contact us at any time if you wish to stop receiving communication from us.
Under 16s
If you are aged 16 or under, and would like to participate in an event, make a donation or get involved with us, please make sure that you have your parents/guardian’s permission before giving us your personal information. Some of our events have age restrictions and we recommend that if you are under 16 you ask a parent or guardian to contact us initially. To volunteer for Cancer Fund for Children you must be age 18 and over.
When we collect information about a child or young person, we will make it clear to the parent/guardian why we are collecting this information and how it will be used.
Vulnerable circumstances policy
We recognise the importance of protecting our vulnerable supporters and follow the guidance issued by the Institute of Fundraising on treating donors fairly. We believe this helps ensure that anyone donating to the charity is in a position to make a free and informed decision. For more information about the Institute of Fundraising guidance on treating donors fairly please visit https://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/library/treatingdonorsfairly/
How we keep your data safe
We will always hold your information securely and follow stringent procedures to ensure that any personal data we hold about you is stored and processed under our data protection policy in line with the Data Protection Act 1998, GDPR and any other relevant legislation.
We use a customer relationship management system (CRM) to hold the information you provide us, so we are able to see the history and relevant details of your relationship with us. This ensures that we provide appropriate and accurate communications. We take information security very seriously. Our information is only accessed in order to provide a service to you or for one of the other purposes discussed in this policy.
We will retain your information for as long as required to enable us to operate our services, but we will not keep your information for any longer than is necessary. We will take into consideration our legal obligations and tax and accounting rules when determining how long we should retain your information. When we no longer need to retain your information, we will ensure it is securely destroyed.
