We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where you have expressly consented or requested.

What we use your data for:

We have set out below, a description of all the ways we use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

  • To provide you with Marie Keating Foundation information and support services. We collect and store your personal data in order to provide you with cancer related services through the use of our website, our “Ask the Nurse” and “BRCA Ask the Nurse” feature and our Comfort Fund. Our nurses may collect sensitive personal data about your health when you speak, email or send enquiries to them. The information which you provide them with will be used to answer any questions you may ask them or to offer advice and support. The legal bases under which we will process your data in this situation include both the performance of a contract with you and for the legitimate interests of the Foundation in delivering support services.
  • To manage our relationship with you. This will include notifying you about any changes to our terms and conditions or privacy policy, asking you to leave a review or asking you to take a survey, updates on our services, and information on our fundraising campaigns. The processing of data in this situation will be necessary for our legitimate interests (fundraising purposes, raising awareness purposes, keeping records updated, and studying how customers use our services) and necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
  • To allow you to make donations, make payments or complete online transactions. We collect and store your personal data in order to process donations, online orders or online registration for upcoming events. Where you complete an online transaction with us, we will use your information provided to complete your order and issue payment receipts. The processing of data in this instance is necessary to perform a contract with you, in our legitimate interests (evaluate how users use our services and to develop and grow the organisation) and complying with legal obligations.
  • To improve our website and provide a personalised experience for you. We continually try to improve our website based on the anonymous information and feedback we receive from you. We use data analytics to improve our website, product/services, marketing, customer relationships and experiences for you. We will rely on legitimate interest (evaluate how users use our service, to develop and grow the organisation and inform the relevance/demand of our services and our marketing strategy) as the legal basis under which we will use your personal information in this situation.
  • For fundraising and charitable events. We will use your information to acknowledge donations made by you and to inform you of how you can get involved in upcoming fundraising and other charitable campaigns. We will rely on our legitimate interests to develop and grow the organisation in order to provide charitable services and supports to others as the legal basis under which we will use your personal information in this situation.

How do we safeguard your information?

We have put in place  security, technical and physical measures such as training to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information except to the following:

  • Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • The tax authorities, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in your country of residence/business who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Social Media Organisations such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter for marketing, advertising or other uses.

How long will we use your personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

 

Your Legal Rights

You have the following rights under the GDPR, in certain circumstances and subject to certain exemptions, in relation to your personal data:

 

▪      Right to request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

▪      Right to request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

▪      Right to request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

▪      Right to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

▪      Right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

▪      Right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

      Right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

      Right to complain to the Data Protection Commissioner: this should be made in writing and addressed to [email protected] or The Data Protection Commissioner, Canal House, Station Road, Portarlington, Co. Laois.
