Other employees might access your personal data where this is required for work purposes. Where this is the case, the organisation relies on all employees to access and use personal data in accordance with their obligations under our data protection policy.
In what situations do we collect personal data from other sources
We run a background check on all employees using a third-party screening and due diligence service provided by Thomson Reuters. We might also use sources in the public domain such as Google for this purpose. We carry out background checks in accordance with our due diligence policies and procedures in order to protect our charitable interests such as the risk of fraud, corruption, bribery, terrorism and money laundering.
In what situations do we share personal data with other organisations
We only share personal data with another organisation if we have a legal basis to do so.
In all the above situations, we will ensure that we have a written contract (or valid legal instruction) in place with the organisation that includes data protection clauses to ensure that they do not use personal data for their own marketing purposes, and have security requirements in place to protect your personal data.
What is our legal basis for collecting and using personal data
Where the processing is necessary to enter into or fulfil the terms and conditions of a contract. For example, to enable payment of your salary, tax, pension contributions and expenses.
Where the processing is required under the law. For example, collecting your medical information to protect your health & safety.
Where the processing is in our legitimate interests. For example, using your leave details to plan staffing levels and necessary cover. We will only rely on this legal basis if your interests and fundamental rights do not override our interest.
Where the processing is in your vital life interest. For example, sharing your personal data with emergency services in the event of a medical emergency.
