For the purposes of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) Prenatal Alliance NGO are data controllers. This section of the privacy policy includes information that is specific to how we process the personal data of supporters and donors that are based in the UK and EU.

Our Legal Basis for Using Data: Data controllers need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data under EU data protection law. The law allows for six ways to process personal data (and additional ways for sensitive personal data). Three of these are relevant to the types of processing that the Prenatal Alliance NGO carries out. This includes information that is processed on the basis of:
• A person’s consent (for example to send you direct marketing by email);
• Processing that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (for example to process a donation); and
• Prenatal Alliance NGO’s legitimate interests (please see below for more information).

Personal data may be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organization using the data, as long as that interest is not overridden by the privacy rights of the individual whose data is being used. Prenatal Alliance NGO’s legitimate interests include:
• Charity governance, including delivery of our charitable purposes, statutory and financial reporting and other regulatory compliance purposes;
• Administration and operational management, including responding to solicited enquiries, providing information, research, events management, the administration of volunteers, and employment and recruitment requirements.
• Fundraising and campaigning, including administering campaigns and donations, and sending direct marketing by post, sending thank you letters and maintaining communication suppressions.

If you would like to change our use of your personal data in this manner, please get in touch with us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below.

How Long We Retain Data: We will keep your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, in accordance with our internal policies. The length of time that data will be kept may depend on the reasons for which we are processing the data and on the law or regulations that the information falls under such as financial regulations, statutory limitation periods, or any contractual obligation we might have. Subject to the above, we will typically store data relating to donors and supporters for 7 years after their last donation or interaction with us unless there is a justifiable reason to keep it for longer. Once the retention period has expired, the information will be confidentially disposed, permanently deleted, or in some cases archived. If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.

8. General Consent

We encourage parents to get involved with their children's use of the Internet and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating.

• Right to Restrict Processing: In certain situations, you have the right to ask for processing of your personal data to be restricted because there is some disagreement about its accuracy or legitimate usage. • Right of Erasure: In some cases, you have the right to be forgotten (i.e. to have your personal data deleted from our database).
