What personal information we collect

In carrying out our day to day activities we have relationships with our supporters, our staff, trustees, volunteers, grant applicants, staff of the Hospitals, and patients and visitors to the Hospitals.  As a result we collect, store and process personal information on a day to day basis. Our use of personal information allows us to meet legal requirements, make better decisions, communicate with all of our stakeholders and fundraise more efficiently.

The type and quantity of information we process and how we use it depends on why you are providing it to us. Examples include making a donation or submitting an enquiry

For most purposes we may collect the following:

• your name;
• contact details (including postal address, telephone number, e-mail address and possibly your social media identity);
• date of birth;
• gender;
• information about your activities accessing and using our website(s),
• about the device you use to access these,
• your location, but only identified by your IP address and/or MAC address and not your name.
