1.1 Definitions
Personal data
Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, also known as a ‘Data Subject’ under GDPR, who can be identified, directly or indirectly, for example by name, an identification number, online identifiers, or any other data. 360Giving collects, stores and processes data relating to employees, trustees, event participants, publishers, funders, donors, consultants etc. All data collected about individuals is personal data under the GDPR.
In order to carry out its business and monitor the positive impact of 360Giving, we collect both personal and special category data.
Special categories of personal data
Under the GDPR special categories of personal data includes data relating to:
- Racial or ethnic origin
- Political opinions
- Religious or philosophical beliefs
- Trade-union membership
- The processing of genetic data and biometric data for the purpose of uniquely Identifying a natural person
- Health data
- Data about natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation
360Giving commits to minimise the data that is collected, collect it anonymously and report in aggregate wherever possible, and ensure that special measures are put in place to protect the data and minimise any associated risks posed as a result of processing this data.
Data Controller
Under the GDPR, 360Giving is referred to as the ‘Data Controller’ (i.e. the party responsible for personal data, collected, used and processed) and is responsible for determining the purposes for collecting the data and ensuring effective data management practice to carry out its business and maintaining compliance with the GDPR.
Data Processor
Under the GDPR, the Data Processor is any person, third party or organisation that processes personal data on behalf of a Data Controller (i.e. 360Giving). For example, third party software suppliers (e.g. Salesforce, MailChimp) are the Data Processor on behalf of 360Giving.
Data Subject
Under the GDPR the Data Subject is any living individual (i.e. staff, trustees, training participants etc) whose personal data 360Giving collects, stores and processes.
Legitimate Interest
This is one of the bases for processing data under GDPR and should be subject to a documented Legitimate Interest Assessment when used. Theoretically, it applies whenever an organisation uses personal data in a way that the data subject would expect. ‘Interests’ can refer to almost anything here, including an organisation or third party’s commercial interests or wider societal benefits.
In general, the condition applies when each of the following apply:
- The processing isn’t required by law, but there’s a clear benefit to it;
- There is little risk of the processing infringing on data subjects’ privacy; and
- The data subject should reasonably expect their data to be used in that way.
An example might include processing for payroll calculations and payments.
Processing
Under the GDPR, ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or sets of personal data. The processing can be automated or non automated means and includes:
- Collection
- Recording
- Organisation/structuring
- Storage
- Adaptation/alteration
- Retrieval/access to
- Transmission/dissemination (e.g. sharing with other parties or transferring to another location)
- Erasure or destruction
Profiling
Under the GDPR ‘profiling’ refers to an activity that is carried out by automated/non-automated means to evaluate certain aspects of an individual’s behaviour, preferences etc. For example, if 360Giving wished to profile job applicants by allocating a geo-demographic code to individuals, this would be classed as profiling.
Under the GDPR, individuals have the right to object to profiling and have a right to be informed about the existence of profiling, of measures based on that profiling and the envisaged effects of profiling on the individual (e.g. selection for jobs or increased communications etc).
Personal data breach
Under the GDPR a personal data breach is an event that leads to the accidental, or unlawful, destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. Under the GDPR 360Giving has an obligation to report personal data breaches to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), and in some cases, the Charity Commission. Where the breach is likely to adversely affect the individuals (i.e. Data Subject(s)) they should also be informed. Further information can be found in the Data Breach section below.
Consent
Under the GDPR, consent should be freely given (e.g. by a statement or clear affirmative action) of the Data Subject’s agreement to processing their personal data. When capturing consent, the wording used by 360Giving should be specific and unambiguous, meaning that the Data Subject is informed of what they are consenting to in order for 360Giving to process their personal data.
Third party
Under the GDPR a third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body that is not the Data Controller or Data Processor. For example, in order for a venue to host a training event, they might require attendee data for registration purpose and to satisfy their internal security checks.
Filing system
Under the GDPR a filing system refers to any physical or electronic system that stores personal data which is accessible to users according to specific criteria (e.g. alphabetical etc).
2. The Data Protection Principles
This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the GDPR. The GDPR sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply. All personal data must be:
2.1 Principle 1: Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject.
360Giving is committed to communicating at the point of collecting data, and through its privacy notice in a clear and intelligible way using clear and plain language. 360Giving commits to using clear and plain language and ensuring that all individuals, particularly whose data we collect fully understand why we are collecting their data, what they are consenting to, and whether there are potential consequences of supplying that data.
2.2 Principle 2: Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes.
360Giving commits to obtaining personal data for specified purposes and will not use the personal data for a purpose that differs from those formally notified to the Data Subject(s) and notified to the ICO as part of 360Giving’s GDPR register of processing. 360Giving’s Privacy Procedure sets out the relevant procedures.
2.3 Principle 3: Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.
360Giving’s Data Protection Lead is responsible for ensuring that 360Giving does not collect information that is not strictly necessary for the purpose for which it is obtained as outlined in its Data Asset Register. 360Giving will ensure that:
- All data collection forms (electronic or paper-based) must include a fair processing statement and link to 360Giving’s Privacy Statement which must be approved by the Data Protection Lead
- 360Giving’s Data Protection Lead will ensure that all data collection methods are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that collected data continues to be adequate, relevant and not excessive in line with 360Giving’s Data Protection Impact Assessment Procedure
2.4 Principle 4: Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.
Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased, or rectified without delay.
360Giving will ensure that, wherever possible, all stored data will be reviewed and updated as necessary. 360Giving will not continue to keep data unless it is reasonable to assume that it is accurate. 360Giving’s Data Protection Lead is responsible for ensuring that all staff are trained and understand the importance of collecting and maintaining accurate data. 360Giving’s Data Retention Policy outlines how long data should be held for and subsequent procedures exist regarding the destruction and disposal of data and equipment. The following rules and guidelines are in place to ensure compliance with this principle:
- The Data Subject is also responsible for ensuring that data held by 360Giving is accurate and up to date
- All parties are required to notify 360Giving of any changes in circumstance to enable personal records to be updated accordingly. It is the responsibility of 360Giving to ensure that any notification regarding change of personal data is recorded and acted upon at the earliest convenience
In line with this principle the Data Protection Lead is responsible for:
- Ensuring that appropriate procedures and policies are in place to keep personal data accurate and up to date, taking into account the volume of data collected, the speed with which it might change and any other relevant factors
- Reviewing the retention dates, at least on an annual basis, of all the personal data processed by 360Giving
- Identifying any data that is no longer required (e.g. it is no longer required or used in line with the original intended purpose)
- Ensuring that data is securely deleted/destroyed in line with this policy
- Responding within one month to requests for rectification to personal data (i.e. where data is out of date/inaccurate) from Data Subjects
- Making appropriate arrangements to ensure that, where Data Processors, suppliers or third party organisations may have been passed inaccurate or out-of-date personal data, to inform them that the information is inaccurate and/or out of date and is not to be used and passing any correction to the personal data to the appropriate party as required
2.5 Principle 5: Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed.
Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject.
Where personal data is retained beyond the retention date as outlined in 360Giving’s Data Retention Schedule, 360Giving will investigate whether to:
- Minimise (i.e. delete certain data) personal data
- Encrypt the data
- Anonymise the data in order to protect the identity of the Data Subject(s)
Personal data will be retained in line with the Data Retention Policy and, once its retention date is passed, it must be securely destroyed as set out in this policy.
360Giving’s Data Protection Lead must specifically approve any data retention that exceeds the retention periods defined in the Data Retention Policy, and must ensure that the justification is clearly identified and in line with the requirements of the GDPR. The approval of any data kept that exceeds any set retention periods must be written and documented.
2.6 Principle 6: Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security
360Giving’s Data Protection Lead will carry out a risk assessment taking into account all circumstances in relation to the control of and processing operations.
In determining appropriateness the Data Protection Lead will also consider the extent of possible damage or loss that might be caused to individuals (i.e. publishers, stakeholders etc) if a security breach occurs, the effect of the breach on 360Giving itself, and any likely reputational damage and loss of trust.

Requests made in relation to your data from a third party should be accompanied by evidence that the third party is able to act on your behalf. If this is not provided, we may contact the third party to ask that such evidence be forwarded before we comply with the request.

C. Timescales
Usually, we will comply with your request without delay and at the latest within one month. Where requests are complex or numerous, we may contact you to inform you that an extension of time is required. The maximum extension period is two months.
D. Fee
We will normally comply with your request at no cost. However, if the request is manifestly
unfounded or excessive, or if it is repetitive, we may contact you requesting a fee. This fee must be paid in order for us to comply with the request. The fee will be determined at the relevant time and will be set at a level which is reasonable in the circumstances.
In addition, we may also charge a reasonable fee if you request further copies of the same information.
E. Information you will receive
When you make a subject access request, you will be informed of:
- whether or not your data is processed and the reasons for the processing of your data;
- the categories of personal data concerning you;
- where your data has been collected from if it was not collected from you;
- anyone who your personal data has been disclosed to or will be disclosed to, including anyone outside of the EEA and the safeguards utilised to ensure data security;
- how long your data is kept for (or how that period is decided);
- your rights in relation to data rectification, erasure, restriction of and objection to processing;
- your right to complain to the Information Commissioner if you are of the opinion that your rights have been infringed;
- the reasoning behind any automated decisions taken about you.
F. Circumstances in which your request may be refused
We may refuse to deal with your subject access request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or if it is repetitive. Where it is our decision to refuse your request, we will contact you without undue delay, and at the latest within one month of receipt, to inform you of this and to provide an explanation. You will be informed of your right to complain to the Information Commissioner and to a judicial remedy.
We may also refuse to deal with your request, or part of it, because of the types of information
requested. For example, information which is subject to legal privilege or relates to management planning is not required to be disclosed. Where this is the case, we will inform you that your request cannot be complied with and an explanation of the reason will be provided.
