EYECAN is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

What we do with the information we gather

We need your contact details to keep you informed and send information of our services and support. We keep a record of the conversations/e-mails we exchange with you so that we have access to all information related to your tailored support and care.

We gather your financial information to process payments – whether it’s your credit card number, which we destroy after the payment goes through, or the details of the bank transfer you make, and for financial purposes if you are accessing our financial grant scheme.

We may ask/check for medical and other personal details to ensure that we can offer you the correct level of advice and support.

We have a legal obligation to retain your financial records to meet our tax obligations, the Charity Commission, the Fundraising Regulator and Auditors if required.

Part of our legal obligation is also to maintain Health and Safety records.

We will use and share your next of kin information and your medical information on the basis of vital interest with the relevant people or organisations, emergency services personnel, authorities, in order to save or protect your life if it was necessary.

We like to keep in touch with our members, sending you our newsletters, information about fundraising initiatives, events, volunteering opportunities and support that potentially can benefit you. We will only send you this if you consent to it.

If you are a volunteer with EYECAN we collect, process and share the same personal data for the same purpose as members.
