The primary aim of this Sussex-based charity is to help the most disadvantaged people in Romania to escape the cycle of social and economic poverty into which they are locked. It offers training, support and funding to Romanian-led initiatives, in order to foster an ethos of self-help.
Don't forget about our Friends of Humanity at Heart Tea Party this Saturday 19th May, 2-4pm at our garden (weather permitting!) at 28 Keymer Road, Hassocks.
PERSONAL DATA PRIVACY NOTICE
Humanity at Heart (HaH) is a small charity with a limited need to collect and process data from our donors, other supporters, volunteers and other contacts (collectively, “our Contacts”) . As such we have not considered it necessary to register under the Data Protection Act 1998.
However, the implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2019 and the upcoming new Data Protection Act impose new obligations on HaH in relation to personal data, which this notice addresses.
Personal Data
For the purpose of this notice, the term “personal data” means data relating to a living individual which allows that person to be identified. Such identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession.
HaH is unlikely to acquire personal data from any source other than the individual identified by the data or someone acting on such individual’s behalf and with their knowledge.
Data Controller
HaH is the data controller (contact details below) as it decides how personal data is processed and for what purposes.
