If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with a grant). In this case, we may have to cancel the relevant agreement but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

Promotional offers from us

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which events and other information relating to our charitable activities may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-party marketing

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above:

  • External Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We may transfer personal information we collect about you outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) where we use service providers that store information on servers based outside of the EEA. To ensure that your personal information is protected, since the data protection regimes in these locations might be less exacting than within the EEA, we ensure that one of the following safeguards is already in place, or will be put in place prior to transfer:

  • the recipient is listed on the EU-US Privacy Shield;
  • the recipient has entered into Binding Corporate Rules with us; or
  • the recipient has entered into the EU Model Clauses with us. We may also transfer your personal information outside the EEA to partners and associated organisations in connection with the fulfilment of our charitable objectives.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third-party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
  • Withdraw your consent for us to use your personal information at any time, where we are handling your information on the basis of your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact our Data Privacy Manager.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

A cookie is a small file that is sent to your browser from a web server and is stored on your computer. Cookies help us to analyse web traffic and identify which pages of our website are being used. Our website also uses cookies to respond to you as an individual so that it can tailor its operations to your needs by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then it is removed from our systems.

A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than information about how you use the website and the personal information you choose to share with us (including personal information you automatically share with us by way of your browser settings).

In particular, we use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas; and
  • Performance cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often and if they get error messages from the web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor; all information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.

You will normally see a message on our website before we store a cookie on your computer which describes the types of cookies we use and what information they might collect.

You can also manage cookie use via your browser settings (this will allow you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies) and your browser provider may ask you to confirm your settings. Note, however, that if you block all cookies (including essential cookies) via your browser settings you may not be able to access all or parts of our website.

Introduction

  • Hakuna Matata has a strong commitment to the principle of equal opportunities and to maintaining a culture that respects and values each other’s differences and that promotes dignity, equality and diversity. We aim to ensure there are no barriers, biases or discrimination that prevent individuals or groups from realising their potential and contributing fully to Hakuna Matata’ performance. We seek to develop a culture that positively values diversity, and that is free from discrimination, victimisation or harassment.
  • Hakuna Matata is committed to providing equal opportunities throughout employment, including in the recruitment, training and promotion of employees. Hakuna Matata does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment or bullying in the workplace or in the course of employment. All employees are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.
  • The obligations in this policy apply to employees, interns, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, customers, clients and business contacts who interact with Hakuna Matata employees. For the avoidance of doubt, this policy applies to all employees whether such employees are working at Hakuna Matata’s premises or at home. Appropriate standards of conduct are required while at work and when attending events in the course of employment or engagement by Hakuna Matata, even when outside of normal working hours.
  • This policy does not form part of an employee’s contract of employment. Hakuna Matata shall review this policy on a regular basis to ensure that the policy is in line with changes in the law, relevant case law and other relevant developments. Human Resources shall be responsible for ensuring that monitoring, training and reviews of the Equal Opportunities Policy take place.

Equal Opportunities in Employment

Our commitment to equal opportunities applies to all aspects of employment including:

  • recruitment and the advertisement of jobs
  • terms and conditions of employment
  • pregnancy, maternity and parenthood
  • pay and benefits
  • opportunities for training, career development and progression/promotion
  • relationships between members of staff
  • work related social events
  • contact with customers and clients
  • work environment
  • working practices
  • health & safety

 

  1. Person and job specifications will be limited to those requirements that are necessary for the effective performance of the role. Candidates for employment or promotion will be assessed objectively against the requirements for the role, taking account of any reasonable adjustments that may be required for candidates with a disability. Disability and personal or home commitments will not form the basis of employment decisions except where necessary.
  2. Hakuna Matata will comply with our obligations in relation to statutory requests for contract variations and will also make reasonable adjustments to our working practices for individuals with a disability. Hakuna Matata will consider any possible indirectly discriminatory effect of our working practices, and we will refuse requests for variations to working practices only if we have good reasons for doing so, that are unrelated to any protected characteristic.
  3. Where possible, Hakuna Matata will monitor the ethnic, gender and age composition of the existing workforce and of applicants for roles (including promotion), and the number of people with disabilities within these groups, and will consider and take any appropriate action to address any problems that may be identified as a result of the monitoring process.

We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.
