7. How do we collect information?
Some of the ways we collect information is outlined in section 6. In addition, we may collect information that is available in the public domain. For example, newspaper or online media items; publicly available posts on LinkedIn or other social media; and Companies House listings, as described in more detail in the profiling section below.
8. Why do we collect information?
We collect information for the purposes set out in section 6. These include:
-
Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. If you fail to provide this information, we may be unable to perform the contract.
-
Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
-
Where processing is necessary for the purpose of the legitimate interest pursued by us or a third party, except where your rights as a data subject override our legitimate interest. The legitimate interests we rely on are:
- to fulfil the charitable purposes of The Tantum Trust. If we are unable to fundraise then we will not be able to continue to provide the support we offer to individuals, families and community groups.
- to fulfil the charitable purposes of The Tantum Trust we need to recruit staff and volunteers to deliver the services and to raise funds. Minimising recruitment costs allows us to spend more money on our charitable purposes. Keeping a talent pool of CVs enables us to source staff in a cost-efficient way.
- The health and safety of our visitors, service users and sites. Where processing is not necessary for the above reasons, we only process your information with your consent, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
9. How long do we keep your information for?

10. How do we protect personal information?
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that the information disclosed to us is kept secure, accurate and up to date and kept only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is used.
You should be aware that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and although we will do our best to protect your personal data we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information which is transferred from you or to you via the internet. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features.
11. What are your rights?
Right of access
You have a right to ask us to confirm whether we are processing information about you, and to request access to this information.
Right to rectification
You may ask us, or we may ask you, to rectify information you or we think is inaccurate, and you may also ask us to remove information which is inaccurate or complete information which is incomplete. If you inform us that your personal data is inaccurate, we will inform relevant third parties with whom we have shared your data so they may update their own records.
We want to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. If any of the information that you have provided us with changes, for example if you change your email address, name, payment details, or if you wish to cancel your registration, please let us know using the contact details at the end of this policy.
Right of portability
You have a right to obtain your personal data from us and reuse it for your own purposes, perhaps for another service, without hindering the usability of the data. This right does not apply where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.
Right to be forgotten
You have a right to seek the erasure of your data. You may wish to exercise this right for any reason, for example where it is no longer necessary for us to continue holding or processing your personal data you may withdraw your consent. You should note that we are entitled to and reserve the right to retain your data for statistical purposes. This right is not absolute, as we may need to continue processing this information, for example, to comply with our legal obligations, or for reasons of public interest.
Right to restriction
You have a right to ask us to restrict our processing of your information (‘right to restriction’) if:
-
you contest its accuracy and we need to verify whether it is accurate;
-
the processing is unlawful and you ask us to restrict use of it instead of erasing it;
-
we no longer need the information for the purpose of processing, but you need it to establish or defend legal claims; and/or
-
you have objected to processing of your information being necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or for the purposes of our legitimate interests. The restriction would apply while we carry out a balancing act between your rights and our legitimate interests. If you exercise your right to restrict processing, we would still need to process your information for the purpose of exercising or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of another person or for public interest reasons.
You also have the right to prevent us from processing your data for the purposes of marketing
If you would like to exercise any of your rights, please let us know by writing to us at: The Tantum Trust, Room 60, Building 51, Bordon Enterprise Park, Budds Lane, Bordon, GU35 0FJ.
