Privacy Policy 

What personal data we collect and why we collect it:

Your contact information

We may ask for personal information, either via our website or on-site at Mimosa House.

This information is most often names and email addresses and sometimes location of residence.

We collect information by fair and lawful means in line with the Data Protection Act 2018, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used. You are free to refuse our request for this information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services without it.

Direct marketing

We may use these details to contact you with updates about our website and services, along with promotional content that we believe may be of interest to you. If you wish to opt out of receiving promotional content, you can follow the “unsubscribe” instructions provided alongside any promotional correspondence from us.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Our website may link to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and policies of those sites, and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy practices

Who we share your data with

The personal information we collect is stored and processed via third-party providers. This includes a website, hosted by Squarespace, whose privacy policy you can access here. When we contact you via email we use MailChimp, whose privacy policy you can access here. We only transfer data within jurisdictions subject to data protection laws that reflect our commitment to protecting the privacy of our users.

We may, from time to time, allow limited access to our data by external consultants and agencies for the purpose of analysis and service improvement such as fundraising. This access is only permitted for as long as necessary to perform a specific function. We only work with external agencies whose privacy policies align with ours.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to marketers or third parties.

How long we retain your data

We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, or to improve our services in future. While we retain this data, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and cannot guarantee absolute data security. If you request your personal information be deleted, or where your personal information becomes no longer relevant to our operations, we will erase it from our system within a reasonable timeframe.

What rights you have over your data

As our user, you have the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used. You are entitled to know what data we collect about you, and how it is processed. You are entitled to correct and update any personal information about you, and to request this information be deleted. You are entitled to restrict or object to our use of your data, while retaining the right to use your personal information for your own purposes. You have the right to opt out of data about you being used in decisions based solely on automated processing. Feel free to contact us if you have any concerns or questions about how we handle your data and personal information.
