Carrying out our Charitable Activities

Do we disclose your information to third parties?

We may not sell a mailing list to any third party organisation or sell information about your web browsing activity.

If you book to attend one of our events, we may share your name, organisation and role (but not contact details) with others who have registered or are attending the event. This is to enable more effective networking for you.

We may share your name, organisation and role with the venue holding the event – you may be notified of the precise venue when making your booking.

By submitting your personal data, you agree that we may share your information with these third parties in accordance with this Privacy Notice, some of which may store data outside the EU, although we may only do so in accordance with applicable law.

We will also aim to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Security to Protect your Information

We employ appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your information from being accessed by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

Although we may do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share the password with anyone else as it is personal to you.

How long do we retain your data?

We may retain certain information in respect of financial transactions for as long as the law requires us to for tax or accounting purposes (which may be up to 6 years after a particular financial transaction).

NHS-SOS makes all reasonable endeavours to ensure that your personal information is accurate, kept secure and retained only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected. We therefore store your information for as long as you are an employee of, or volunteer for, an organisation that is a member of NHS-SOS. When you leave the member organisation, your details may be deleted from our records once we are notified that you have left.
