Privacy Policy

How we use your information

This privacy notice explains how Magic Bus UK (the Data Controller) collects your data and how we use it. It explains the legal basis for us processing your data and applies to information we collect about:

  • Visitors to our website: www.magicbusuk.org
  • People who make a donation to Magic Bus UK
  • People who sign up to receive the Magic Bus UK direct marketing
  • People who attend Magic Bus UK events
Our Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

When Magic Bus UK processes your personal data, we will do so on the legal basis of “Contract” or “Consent”, depending on the situation.

When you make a donation, or set up a direct debit, we will process your data under the legal basis of “Contract”. As we must process your personal data in order to complete your donation, we do not require your consent to begin processing. However, your data will be securely deleted 6 years once the payment process has finished. For Gift Aid, we are required to hold your data for 6 years by HMRC, after which it will be destroyed. For more information about how we use your data when you make a donation, please see the section titled “People who make a donation to Magic Bus UK”.

For direct marketing, such as sending you emails or letters, making phone calls etc., we will only ever process your data using the legal basis of “Consent”. This means we will only ever contact you with your express consent and we will no longer do so if you ever choose to withdraw your consent. For further details regarding direct marketing, please see the section titled “People who sign up to receive the Magic Bus UK direct marketing”

We may also use “Legitimate Interest” as a legal basis for contacting you. We will only use this basis if we have to get in touch with you, but cannot do so using any other legal basis. We will also never send you any electronic direct marketing using Legitimate Interest. If we do decide to use Legitimate Interest as a basis for contacting you, we will carry out a “Legitimate Interest Assessment” to ensure that us contacting you is lawful and does not infringe on your rights.

This data will be shared with the relevant payment provider, “Blackbaud Merchant Services” and “GoCardless”, only for the purposes for processing the payment.
