Privacy policy

Effective date: 18 January 2026.

Who we are

Charity Events UK provides a platform for discovering charity fundraising events and connecting supporters with organisers. This policy explains how we collect and use personal data when you use the site or contact us.

Personal data we collect

We collect the information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and message details when you use our contact forms, register for admin access, or submit listing enquiries.

We also collect limited technical data, including IP address, device and browser information, and usage data from our security logs and analytics tools.

How we use your data

  • Respond to enquiries and support requests.
  • Manage charity listings, partnerships, and event information.
  • Maintain site security, prevent abuse, and monitor performance.
  • Improve our content, navigation, and user experience.

Legal bases for processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis. This may include:

  • Consent, where you choose to provide information or sign up for updates.
  • Contractual necessity, where we need data to provide requested services.
  • Legitimate interests, such as running and improving the platform, provided those interests do not override your rights.
  • Legal obligations, where we must comply with applicable laws.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only when needed to provide our services, including with:

  • Trusted service providers for hosting, analytics, and email delivery.
  • Event organisers or charities when you request information about their events.
  • Regulators or law enforcement when required by law.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

You have rights under UK data protection law, including to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data. You can also object to certain processing or request data portability.

To make a request, contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Children’s data

Our site is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

Updates to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The most recent version will always be published on this page with the effective date shown above.
