Marylebone Cricket Club Foundation ("MCCF") takes your privacy very seriously. We ask that you read this Privacy Notice carefully as it contains important information about what to expect when we collect personal information about you, including how we will use your personal data and the steps that we take to ensure that it is kept safe. MCCF shall process all personal information in accordance with data protection legislation and regulations relating to the processing of personal data and privacy, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679). MCCF is responsible as 'controller' of personal information for the purposes of those laws.
What personal information do we collect about you?
In order to undertake our charitable activities, and for other lawful reasons related to the legitimate interests of the MCC Foundation, we may collect personal information about you from our website, telephone conversations, emails, written and verbal communications, and various donation forms. We may, for example, keep a record of your name, address, email address, telephone number, and bank details. We may also record details of any disability or health needs you may have if you have attended one of our events, to help to ensure your safety. Information related to your visit to our website (such as which pages you visit and how often you visit) will be held and stored worldwide by us, and selected third parties. We may supplement the information that you provide with other information that we receive from third parties.
How will we use your personal information?
We will primarily use your personal information to conduct our charitable activities, administer the Friends programme, and process donations and Gift Aid. We may also use your personal information for one or more of the following purposes:
a) for Friends and Benefactors of the MCC Foundation: to provide benefits and keep in touch;
b) to recover debt and to help us to prevent fraud;
c) to fulfil our legal obligations (for example, where we are required to keep records of transactions or share information with authorities);
d) for beneficiaries of the MCC Foundation's work: to improve the quality of our charitable activities e.g. to conduct evaluations;
e) subject to the terms of this Notice and your preferences, for marketing purposes (including fundraising for our own organisation);
f) to create an individual profile for you so that we can enhance your donor experience, and provide annual impact reports to update you on our charitable work where you have agreed to receive them; and
g) for other legitimate business or governance purposes, including analysis of trends in support.
We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us to develop our website. We may also provide such aggregate information to third parties, but these statistics will not include information that can be used to identify you. By supplying your information to us, you confirm that you do not consider use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Notice to be a breach of any of your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Disclosure of your personal information
In order to provide our services and conduct our charitable activities, we may, occasionally, appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on our behalf. These may include, for example, technology hosts, printing companies and mailing houses. In these circumstances, we will ensure that personal information is properly protected and that it is only used in accordance with this Privacy Notice. In limited circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a legal obligation to do so, or because it is necessary to share with a governing body for the administration or governance of the sport of cricket. We will not disclose your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes.
What if you do not want to receive marketing information?
We consider it is in MCCF's legitimate interest to keep you informed about our charitable work, potential benefits available to you, new donor programmes, and events. If you would rather not receive marketing information from us, please contact us (see the section "How to contact MCCF" below). If you agree to us providing you with MCCF marketing information or updates, you can always opt out at a later date or narrow your preferences. You are in control of what you receive. However, please note that where you withhold or withdraw your consent to be contacted in this way, we may be unable to keep you informed of new charitable projects, events and/or unique benefits that may interest you.
