Holding your personal data enables us to meet various administrative tasks, legal obligation or contractual/agreement obligation such as paying your salary and/or expenses, paying taxes, making necessary adjustment to facilitate your work for us, tracking your performance, administer leave etc.

Information is provided mainly by yourself, via hard copy forms, online forms or phone/email conversation with us. The information gathered may include: occupation, title, details of any correspondence had with Jami, DOB, fundraising appeals responses, event participations with Jami, details of your reasons to engage with Jami.

If you consent to this, your first name, last name and email address will be shared with the Fundraising team and stored on Raiser’s Edge.

Philanthropy
In case of a generous donation or in order to identify potential high value supporters, we may use profiling and screening techniques. We may undertake in-house research and from time to time engage specialist agencies such as Prospecting for Gold to gather information about you from publicly available sources, for example, Companies House, the Electoral Register, company websites, ‘rich lists’, social networks (such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), political and property registers and news archives.

We would gather publicly available information regarding previous charity support, connection to our cause, credibility, geographical, demographic, financial soundness, career information, peer networks and other publicly available information (e.g. age, address, listed Directorships, hobbies and interests).
If you have already engaged with us, we may also profile information that you have provided to during your engagement, including information such as occupation, title, details of any correspondence had with Jami, DOB, fundraising appeals responses, event participations with Jami, details of your reasons to engage with Jami.

We also use publicly available sources to carry out due diligence on donors in line with the charity’s Gift Acceptance Policy and to meet money laundering regulations.

This research helps us to understand more about you as an individual so we can focus conversations we have with you about fundraising in the most effective way. It also allows us to understand how likely it is that you would be interested in supporting us so that we can better tailor our communications and provide you with an experience as a donor or potential donor which is appropriate for you.

We rely on our legitimate interest in order to profile and screen your information. If you would rather we did not do this, please just let us know and we will, of course, respect your wishes. Otherwise, following our initial profiling and screening, we will contact you either via phone or via e-communication if consent has been provided. During our conversation, we inform you of our processing and of your rights as data subject (which include right to object, to restrict our processing and to have your data deleted). If you are happy to engage with us, we’ll proceed with establishing our relationship with you, which will include further engagement and profiling.

Additionally, we sometimes ask existing supporters, trustees, and volunteers whether they would be prepared to open their networks up to us. An existing supporter may tell us about an individual previously unknown to us and facilitate an introduction. In this scenario we would check that the person in question is registered on the TPS or FPS and exclude them if their details have been registered on either of these registries. We would then advise our Trustee or existing supporter about our data responsibilities and ask them to ensure that the person they would like to introduce to us is happy for an introduction to take place. Following the introduction, we would direct the individual to this privacy notice and confirm their marketing consent preferences before communicating with them further. We will also share a link to our privacy notice in the footer of all of our email communications.

How long do we keep your data for?
We keep your data as long as necessary. If you’ve made a donation, showed interest in supporting us or participated in our events we may keep your data for 10 years after the last donation or engagement with us. If you have been part of profiling activities, you have never engaged with Jami and you have indicated that you are not interested in engaging with Jami for fundraising purposes, we will delete your data as early as possible.

Data is destroyed or deleted in a secure manner as soon as a request for deletion has been made.

If you wish to know more about our data retention, please contact us at dataprotection@jami.org.uk.

Confidentiality – who do we share your data with?
Please rest assured that we will never sell your details to any third party.

In addition, if we ever need to send data to a third party for processing for the purposes of legitimate interests (for example checking against the Telephone Preference Service, updating our records and prospect researching from publicly available sources such as the electoral roll) we will make sure the company we use has signed a data processing agreement with us or other contractual obligations, so that they are bound to take care of your data in the same way we do. We may also share personal information with external auditors, e.g. the Charities Commission or for the audit of our accounts.
We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

If you have made a Gift Aid declaration, we may disclose the information you have provided as part of the declaration to HMRC for the purpose of reclaiming gift aid on your donation(s).
