Protecting Your Personal Data
The security of your personal data is very important to us. We employ a variety of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data we collect. That said, security risk is inherent in all Internet and information technologies, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data.
Transfer of Personal Data Between Countries
We may share the information we collect globally, both internally across our offices, and externally with our affiliates, subsidiaries, ministry partners, and service providers. Because we are global, with staff, donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries around the world, transfers are necessary for a variety of reasons, including so that we can provide disaster relief and operate other charitable programs worldwide.
Depending on where you are located and how you interact with us, your personal data may need to be transferred from your country to the United Kingdom, from the United Kingdom to another country, or between two non-U.K. countries in order for us to carry out the purpose for which we collected your information. This means your personal data may be transferred to a country where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your country. When required, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms for international data transfers.
Sensitive Personal Data
We ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal data (for example, information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics) unless necessary for your interaction with us.
In the event you choose to provide sensitive personal data, you consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with this Notice. If required, we will obtain your specific consent before collecting and processing sensitive personal data about you.
