Personal data means any information relating to you which allows us to identify you, such as your name,
contact details and why you have contacted us.

We may collect personal data from you when you send us an email, visit our office, telephone us or
respond to our website.

How do we use your information?

We will use your personal information to provide you with the services or information you have requested, for administration purposes, to enable us to offer help and assistance.

In order to deliver our charity’s services, we may need to share your information with other authorised, associated organisations and agents. VCI will not exchange or sell your data to any third parties for marketing purposes.

On occasion VCI may provide summarised, anonymous personal information to its principal funders to address analytical and statistical requirements.

How does VCI store your information?

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect and keep online. The personal data stored within our bespoke client management software is encrypted and at user level is accessed via unique username and passwords.

“Subject Access Request”

  • Where you object to the way we use your data and there is no overriding legitimate interest
