1.1 Who collects your data

LAICC is the controller of your data and is responsible for the collection and processing of your data.

1.2 What data is collected

In most circumstances we will only ask you for your name and contact details. We will sometimes ask for additional information about you to support us in providing services that are useful to you.

Additional information we may ask you to provide may, among other things, include your willingness to volunteer and the activities you would like to take part in and whether or not you are a member of a political party, trade union or other organisation.

1.3 Where we obtain your data from

In most cases, we will obtain your data directly from you, using an electronic or physical form, or verbally.

We also make use of cookies. Cookies are small files that are downloaded onto your computer (or your mobile phone or other electronic device) from websites that you visit. Cookies contain information that allows websites to recognise that you have used the site before.

We may sometimes supplement your data with other publicly available information where we have your consent to do so, where it is necessary to do so in order to comply with a contract we have with you, one of our legal obligations or legitimate interests, or where you have given other organisations permission to share your data with us.

2. How your data is kept secure

2.1 What we do to keep your data secure

We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorised access to your data, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. These include protecting your information using firewalls, password protection and, where appropriate, encryption.

We train our staff and volunteers to understand data protection and to keep your data secure. We ensure that all individuals who have access to your data sign data protection agreements and non-disclosure agreements, which detail their duties to keep your data secure and not to disclose it to anyone else without our authorisation.

3. Who has access to your data

We will never sell your data but sometimes it is necessary to share your information, either within the organisation, with other organisations or individuals who share our values and aims, with our service providers or with data processors. Data is only ever shared where we have a lawful basis to do so.

We share data with:

– Our own staff

– Professional advisers

– Suppliers

– Service providers

– Regulatory bodies

Where we share data within the organisation, we ensure that the recipient of the data signs an agreement that they will use the data only for the purposes for which it was provided and will take necessary measures to ensure its security.

In the LAICC secretariat, only those authorised to process your data can access it. We make sure that staff and volunteers see only the data that is necessary to perform their tasks.

4. How your data is processed

We have and collect data to help shape our activities and strategy. It will be used to help us provide you with information to match your interests. We may also use it to alert you of activities you may be interested in and events happening in your area now and in the future.

We will process your data and contact you for the following reasons:

• To inform you about our campaigns and actions

• To let you know how you can help support and/or fund our campaigns and campaigns we support

• To let you know how you can campaign with us and with campaigns we support

• To let you know how you can volunteer with us or if we have job vacancies

Other purposes for which we may process your data include:

5. The bases on which we process your data

We process your data on the following bases:

• Consent

• Contract

• Legal obligation

• Legitimate interest

We process most of the data that we hold on the basis of consent. At times, we process your name and contact details and additional information about you and your views, interests and activities you take part in on the basis of consent. Where we process your data on the basis of your consent, that processing of your data will be restricted to those types of processing for which we have received your consent and we shall indicate which categories of data we are going to process on the basis of your consent.

If it is necessary for us to process your data in order to comply with any other contracts we may have with you, then when we enter into the contract with you we will inform you of this, as well as informing you of the types of processing that it will be necessary for us to carry out, the categories of data that we will process and the purposes of our doing so.

When we share your data with other organisations or individuals who share our values and aims, we will rely on legitimate interest in circumstances where we haven’t sought your consent.

6. How we will communicate with you

For any direct “marketing” communications about our campaigning we will only contact you via email or text if we have your permission to do so. We may occasionally send you campaigning materials without your consent if in the circumstances we have a legitimate interest to do so.

You may also see campaigning online and on some social media sites if you have interaction with us before.

To respond to your queries we will contact you either via the medium you used to contact us or by a medium you have indicated you would like us to respond with. If it is necessary to contact you for any administrative purposes then we will usually try to email, text or call you, usually in that order, depending on what contact details we have available for you.

8. How you can affect the way we communicate with you

When you interact with us, we will ask you to tell us how you prefer to be contacted. You can unsubscribe from contact at any time. And you can make a number of requests in relation to your data — including that we erase data that we hold on you — by writing to us at secretariat@LAI27.net.

9. How to find out more or make a complaint

If you would like to make a complaint to us about how your data is processed, please contact our Compliance Officer at secretariat@LAI27.net with the subject: “GDPR enquiry”.
