Privacy Policy
We take great care to protect your privacy. Here's more information on how we use the details you give us, and ensure they are treated with respect.
What happens when you give us your personal details
We only make a note of your personal details when you choose to give them to us. The information we collect is then used in the following ways:
- To make sure we have an accurate record of all donations received
- To carry out research on our donors' demographics, interests and behaviour
- To email you with the news and information (only if you have expressly asked for this)
How we protect your personal details
To protect the rights of everyone using our website, we comply to the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 1998. These are strict security procedures relating to the storage and disclosure of information that you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access or loss of such information. If you would like a full copy of this act, just click here .
For additional protection we also use secure server software (SSL) to encrypt financial information you send to us from our website. This encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address, so that your details cannot be read as they are transferred to us over the internet. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will not occur, we use our best efforts to prevent this.
Can you gain access to your personal information?
You may request a copy of the personal information relating to you which is kept on file by Sightsavers (for which we may charge a small fee) by contacting our Supporter Care team on (+44) 01444 446710, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, or write to us at: Sightsavers International, Grosvenor Hall, Bolnore Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 4BX.
