We will retain this information for two years. In addition, we will retain financial information for six years as required by HMRC; this may include copies of invoices, in electronic format or as hard copies.

This information will be taken from a charity’s website and will only include the name of the charity, the address of its office and the nature of the charity’s work. Any materials we send will include information on how to opt out from further contact with Real World Fundraising.
The Provision of Newsletters

Any materials we send will include information on how to opt out from further contact with Real World Fundraising.
Trust Fundraising
We may hold information on charitable trusts, which are a separate legal entity; we will only hold information on trusts that is in the public domain, has been sourced from non-intrusive sources and where we believe we have a legitimate interest to hold the information. We will exclude email addresses for trust personnel which could be used to identify an individual.

If you have applied to us for employment or casual work we will retain the information you provided for six months so that we can contact you with offers of work. If we have provided you with work, we will retain financial information on payments made to you for six years as required by HMRC.
Rights of Privacy and Legitimate Interests
When making a decision on whether to hold a piece of information, we take care to balance the rights to privacy of individuals with our legitimate interests.
