IBA is
committed to safeguarding your privacy. At all times we aim to respect any
personal data you share with us, or that we receive from other organisations,
and keep it safe. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets out our data collection
and processing practices and your options regarding the ways in which your
personal information is used.
This
Policy contains important information about your personal rights to privacy. We
may update this Policy from time to time without notice to you, so please check
it regularly.

from that campaign will be passed back to the original partner organisation.
We will
not sell or rent your information to third parties.
We will

- Children’s data
We do not
knowingly process data of any person under the age of 16. If we come to
discover, or have reason to believe, that you are 15 and under and we are
holding your personal information, we will delete that information within a
reasonable period and withhold our services accordingly.
- Security of and access to
your personal data
We
endeavour to ensure that there are appropriate and proportionate technical and
organisational measures to prevent the loss, destruction, misuse, alteration,
unauthorised disclosure or of access to your personal information.
When you
give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated
securely. All information is encrypted and protected with the following
software 128 Bit encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon
will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Your
information is only accessible by appropriately trained employees and
contractors.
We
partner with other organisations and in so doing transfer and/or acquire
personal data.
Otherwise
than as set out in this Privacy Policy, we will only ever share your data with
your informed consent.
- Your rights
Where we
rely on your consent to use your personal information, you have the right to
withdraw that consent at any time. This includes the right to ask us to stop
using your personal information for direct mailing purposes or to be
unsubscribed from our email list at any time. You also have the following
rights:
(1) Right
to be informed – you have the right to be told how your personal information
will be used. This Policy and other policies and statements used on our website
and in our communications are intended to provide you with a clear and
transparent description of how your personal information may be used.
(2) Right
of access – you can write to us to ask for confirmation of what information we
hold on you and to request a copy of that information. Provided we are
satisfied that you are entitled to see the information requested and we have
successfully confirmed your identity, and as from 25 May 2018, we will have 30
days to comply.
(3) Right
of erasure – as from 25 May 2018, you can ask us for your personal information
to be deleted from our records. In many cases we would propose to suppress
further communications with you, rather than delete it.
(4) Right
of rectification – if you believe our records of your personal information are
inaccurate, you have the right to ask for those records to be updated.
(5) Right
to restrict processing – you have the right to ask for processing of your
personal data to be restricted if there is disagreement about its accuracy or
legitimate usage.
(6) Right
to data portability – to the extent required by the General Data Protection
Regulations (“GDPR”) where we are processing your personal information (i)
under your consent, (ii) because such processing is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your
request prior to entering into a contact or (iii) by automated means, you may
ask us to provide it to you – or another service provider – in a
machine-readable format.
- Lawful processing
We are
required to have one or more lawful grounds to process your personal
information. Only 3 of these are relevant to us:
- Personal information is
processed on the basis of a person’s consent
- Personal information is
processed on the basis of legal obligations
- Personal information is
processed on the basis of legitimate interests
(1)
Consent
We will ask for your consent to use your information to send you electronic
communications such as campaign emails. This is because most of our
interactions with you and other website users are voluntary.
(2) Legal
obligations
Sometimes we will be obliged to process your personal information due to legal
obligations which are binding on us. We will only ever do so when strictly
necessary.
(3)
Legitimate interests
Applicable law allows personal information to be collected and used if it is
reasonably necessary for our legitimate activities (as long as its use is fair,
balanced and does not unduly impact individuals’ rights).
We will
rely on this ground to process your personal data when it is not practical or
appropriate to ask for consent.
When we
use your personal information, we will consider if it is fair and balanced to
do so and if it is within your reasonable expectations. We will balance your
rights and our legitimate interests to ensure that we use your personal
information in ways that are not unduly intrusive or unfair in other ways.
- Data retention
In
general, unless still required in connection with the purpose(s) for which it
was collected and/or is processed, we remove your personal information from our
records six years after the date it was collected. However, if before that date
(i) your personal information is no longer required in connection with such
purpose(s), (ii) we are no longer lawfully entitled to process it or (iii) you
validly exercise your right of erasure, we will remove it from our records at
the relevant time.
In the
event that you ask us to stop sending you direct electronic communications, we
will keep your name on our internal suppression list to ensure that you are not
contacted again.
- Policy amendments
We keep
this Privacy Policy under regular review and reserve the right to update from
time-to-time by posting an updated version on our website, not least because of
changes in applicable law. We recommend that you check this Privacy Policy
occasionally to ensure you remain happy with it. We may also notify you of
changes to our privacy policy by email.
- Updating information
You can check the personal data we hold about you, and ask us to update it
where necessary, by emailing us at israelbritainalliance@gmail.com.
Please
let us know if you have any queries or concerns whatsoever about the way in
which your data is being processed by emailing us at israelbritainalliance@gmail.com.
