International data transfers

Some of our service providers (for example Stripe and email platforms) may transfer or store data outside the UK. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate legal safeguards are in place, such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses, to protect your information.

Marketing communications

We may send you marketing communications (such as newsletters, fundraising appeals or event invitations) based on your consent or, in some cases, our legitimate interests where we believe the communication is relevant and welcomed.
