1. Our legal basis for processing personal data
We need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data under data protection law. The law allows for six ways to process personal data (and additional ways for sensitive personal data). Four of these are relevant to the types of processing that GoodBox carries out. This includes information that is processed on the basis of:
(a) A person’s consent (for example to send you direct marketing by e-mail and for our website visitors;
(b) Processing necessary for the performance of a contract with you (for our customers and donors);
(c) Processing that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (for example, reporting to the Financial Conduct Authority) (for our customers)
(d) Our legitimate interests (for our customers – please see below for more information).
Personal data may be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organisation using the data, as long as that interest is not overridden by the privacy rights of the individual whose data is being used. For example, GoodBox’s legitimate interests include responding to solicited enquires, marketing our services to charities, providing information, research, events management, employment, and recruitment requirements.
