Privacy Policy

How we respect privacy when we deal with personal information collected by our organization

This Privacy Policy applies to information Joseph Plan Foundation collects about individuals who interact with our organization. It explains what personal information we collect and how we use it.

If you have any comments or questions about this notice, feel free to contact us at greetings@josephplan.org.

1. Personal data that we process

The following table explains the types of data we collect and the legal basis, under current data protection legislation, on which this data is processed.

2. How we use your data

We will only use your data in a manner that is appropriate considering the basis on which that data was collected, as set out in the table at the top of this policy.

For example, we may use your personal information to:

reply to inquiries you send to us;

handle transactions that you initiate;

where you have specifically agreed to this, send you communications by email, upon your signing up for email notifications only, relating to our work which we think may be of interest to you.

3. When we share your data

We will only pass your data to third parties in the following circumstances:

you have provided your explicit consent for us to pass data to a named third party;

we are using a third party purely for the purposes of processing data on our behalf and we have in place a data processing agreement with that third party that fulfills our legal obligations in relation to the use of third party data processors; or

we are required by law to share your data.

In addition, we will only pass data to third parties outside of the European Union where appropriate safeguards are in place as defined by Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

4. How long we keep your data

We take the principles of data minimization and removal seriously and have internal policies in place to ensure that we only ever ask for the minimum amount of data for the associated purpose and delete that data promptly once it is no longer required.

5. Rights you have over your data

You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:

Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any time and we will make it as easy as possible for you to do this.  For example,  we include an ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of all our emails.

You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your information.

You have the right of access to your information.

You have the right to lodge a complaint if you feel your rights have been infringed.

If you would like to exercise the rights listed above, or any other legal rights you have over your data under current legislation, please get in touch with us.

Please note that exercising some of these rights, such as the right to delete your data, will make it impossible for us to continue to delivering some services to you. However, we will always recognize the exercise of your rights, while we continue to deliver as many services to you as possible.

6. Cookies & usage tracking

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded on to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are used by many websites and can do a number of things, e.g. remembering your preferences, recording what you have put in your shopping basket, and counting the number of people looking at a website.

We list the purposes of cookies, used to collect personal data, in section 1 above, along with other personal data that we collect. However, we also use some cookies that do not collect personal information but that do help us collect anonymous information about how people use our website. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website usage by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information collected by Google Analytics about usage of our website is not personally identifiable. The data is collected anonymously, stored by Google and used by us to create reports about website usage. Google’s privacy policy is available at http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.

7. Modifications

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time and will publish the most current version on our website. If a modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we’ll notify people whose personal data we hold and is affected.

8. Right to Erasure

If we collect data from EU residents, we comply with the “Right to Erasure” requests under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The data a person can expect to be erased includes the obvious — name, address, phone number — and the less obvious, like tracking numbers and VAT IDs.

Per the rules of the Right to Erasure, we keep some data for a limited time to comply with contractual obligations and protection, like tracking IDs for order or shipping disputes or keeping VAT information for tax audits.

Email Privacy Policy

We have created this email privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your information.

Why did you receive an email from us?

If you received a mailing from us, (a) your email address is either listed with us as someone who has expressly shared this address for the purpose of receiving information in the future (“opt-in”), or (b) you have registered or purchased or otherwise have an existing relationship with us. We respect your time and attention by controlling the frequency of our mailings.

How we protect your privacy

We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used by our system.

Sharing and Usage

We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information for purposes of contacting you or sending you emails based on your request for information and to contracted service providers for purposes of providing services relating to our communications with you.

How can you stop receiving email from us?

Each email sent contains an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving email from us, or to change your expressed interests. If you wish to do this, simply follow the instructions at the end of any email.
