Website terms and conditions

Legitimate interest statement:

In May 2018, the new Data Protection Regulations will be introduced and there will be a number of lawful reasons how we can use/process your data. One of these reasons is called Legitimate Interest.

In general terms this means that we can process your personal information if:

We have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming your rights and interests.

This means that when you provide your personal details, we will use your information for our legitimate business interest to carry out our work in enabling the world class services provided at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.

Prior to using your data, we will carefully consider:

  1. Identifying what the legitimate interest is (Purpose test)
  2. Would you, as the data subject, reasonably expect us to process their data (Necessity test)
  3. What impact, if any, would there be on you (Balancing test)
  4. What safeguards to we have in place to protect you and your data

Some examples of when and why we would use this approach are:

Direct mail – We send occasional marketing and fundraising asks to keep you informed of the work we are doing to support University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and to ask for support on key projects.

Research – We may use your data to help us asses the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and to develop our products, services, systems and relationships with you.

Due Diligence – We may need to conduct investigations on supporters, potential customers and business partners to determine if those companies and individuals have been involved or convicted of offences such as fraud, bribery and corruption.

We will also hold information about you so that we can respect your preferences of how we contact you.

You can change the way you hear from us or withdraw your permission at any time online here or by contacting us at hello@southamptonhospitalscharity.org  or 023 8120 8881.
