ELI for Animals takes your privacy seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy sets out how we use the information that you provide us with in order to help further our work in protecting dog welfare.
Privacy policy – your data
Our charity is registered in Romania.
Your Information – what we collect and how we use it
ELI for Animals collects information from the public in a number of different ways. When a member of the public wants to rehome a dog, we ask for contact and other information. This may include information such as your name, date of birth and contact information. We use this information to keep a record of our communications with you.
If you are a financial supporter of ELI for Animals, by donating to us we will ask for information that enables us to administer your donation. This will normally include information such as your name, contact details such as address, email or telephone number and your payment details and Gift Aid status.
We will only contact you with information and updates on our work if you have given us your consent. This may include information about events, specific fundraising campaigns or any other information that we think might be of interest to you. This may be by email, telephone, Messenger or text message. You can specific your preferences.
We will not give your information to any third party to use for marketing purposes. We do however use a national home check network and as a home check is an integral part of our rehoming process, we need to give the home checker some limited information about you in order for them to contact you.
What the Law says about protection of personal information
The Law on Data Protection includes the Data Protection Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (the ‘GDPR’) which became enforceable in May 2018. The GDPR states that personal data (information relating to a person that can be individually identified) can only be processed if there is a legal ground to do so. The GDPR provides six legal grounds (reasons) under which personal information can be processed (used) in a way that is lawful. For the processing to be permitted by law (lawful), at least one of the legal grounds must apply.
The four legal grounds that are most relevant to ELI for Animals' use of your personal information are:

We will only use personal information in a way and for a purpose that you would reasonably expect in accordance with this Policy.
We will not rent, swap or sell your personal information to other organisations for them to use in their own marketing activities.
Consent
ELI for Animals will always ask for your consent before we communicate with you for certain purposes. For example, we will only email or phone you about our fundraising activities if we have an accurate record of your recent and freely given consent to do so.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing eliforanimals@gmail.com
We aim to only store information relevant to your relationship with us. We have grouped our supporters as follows:
Individuals that adopted/foster a dog from ELI for Animals.
These are supporters that adopted a dog or are fostering a dog. On average a dog in the UK lives to the age of 16 years old. We think that you and the dog you adopted would like to remain in contact with us throughout their lifetime and we will therefore keep your personal information to allow for this. So we will retain your data for up to 16 years. If you do not want us to retain your data for this period, please let us know. If your dog dies before they reach the aged of 16 years and you would like us to remove your data from our records, please get in touch.
Financial Supporters of ELI
These are supporters that help or have helped us with financial gifts. We will retain your gift aid information for a period of 6 years. If you are still supporting us at that time, we will ask you to complete a new form.
Demonstrated an interest in ELI for Animals' work
These are supporters of our mission, who have demonstrated an interest in our cause by contacting us for more information, e.g. to find out more about one of our dogs or campaigns. We think someone that has reached out to us wants to find out more about us. We will retain your information for a period of 2 years.
Data Sharing
To help us communicate the work we are doing and provide these services we use trusted service providers including a home check network.
We do not share, sell or swap your information with other organisations for their own marketing outside of our group.
In some circumstances it is necessary for ELI for Animals to give relevant staff access to your personal information. This access is only granted to the extent necessary for them to perform their services for us.
Changes to your data
From time to time we may contact you to ensure that the information you have provided us with remains accurate and up to date. Like all organisations, we comply with requests for the disclosure of personal information where this is required or permitted by law. This could include requests from law enforcement or tax agencies. In these circumstances, the request must be submitted in writing and in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us or with the Information Commissioners office https://ico.org.uk/
