Personal Data You Provide
Your privacy is important to us. By providing personal information such as your name and e-mail address via the forms on this website, you agree to us contacting you with regard to the information provided. By ordering goods through our online shop collect your name and payment details in order to process the payment.

Some forms on our website also include a check box asking you for permission to add you to our mailing list. This is an opt-in mailing list and your personal information will be used solely by us (and all such emails include a link for opt-out).

How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the data you provide via this website to:

• communicate with you, for example: we use contact details such as email address or phone number when responding to enquiries made via online forms
• monitor website trends, for example: we use Google Analytics to help us aggregate traffic so we can monitor how the website is being used
• operate our business more effectively, for example: we seek feedback and use this to help improve our service
• process sales through our on-line shop.

Our “Lawful Reasons” For Processing Your Personal Data
The “General Data Protection Regulation” (GDPR) is the primary piece of legislation defining your rights over our processing of your personal information. The GDPR requires us to declare which of six “lawful reasons” we are relying on when we are processing your personal data: we operate on the basis of “consent” when sending newsletters (you won’t get sent a newsletter unless you have explicitly opted in to receive one).. and we operate on the basis of “legitimate interest” when communicating with you in other ways (e.g. when responding to your enquiry). And when fulfilling orders for purchases we process your information to complete the contract.

How Long We Keep Personal Data
Personal data, with the exception of any financial information which is not stored on the website, may be stored by the website for a period of up to 90 days after which time it is removed automatically.

Transfer of Personal Data
From time to time we may pass personal data such as your name and email address to other services that we use to send out newsletters and other communications (both electronic and print). However, your personal data will remain in the EU or countries considered by the EU to have equivalent policies such as Jersey, Guersey, Switzerland, New Zealand and Canada. Companies based in the USA that have certified with the EU-US Privacy Shield programme are also considered to be permitted destinations by the EU (this includes popular US products like Gmail, DropBox and MailChimp).

Questions or Complaints
In the first instance we hope you will contact us directly with any questions or complaints (contact details are displayed prominently on this website). However, legal rights regarding privacy are the remit of the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and you will find more information about how to complain here: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ .

Our Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor how our website is being used so we can make improvements. Our use of Google Analytics requires us to pass to Google your IP address (but no other information) – Google uses this information to prepare site usage reports for us, but Google may also share this information with other Google services. In particular, Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Related information:

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is used by a website to send ‘state information’ to a Users’ browser and for the browser to return the state information to the website. The state information can be used for authentication, identification of a User session, User preferences, shopping cart contents, or anything else that can be accomplished through storing text data on the User’s computer.

Cookies cannot be programmed, cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on the host computer. However, they can be used to track users’ browsing activities which was a major privacy concern that prompted European and US law makers to take action.

Cookies are used by most websites for a variety of reasons – often very practical reasons to do with the operation of the website. However, they are also used to monitor how people are using the website (which pages are visited and how long is spent on each page). Each “visitor session” is tracked even though no effort is made to try to identify them in person.

The new legislation now states that you must be able to opt-out from having cookies stored on their computer.

What Happens If You Opt-Out
If you decide to disable cookies we record this so you don’t get asked the question again. You will find that most of the website works as expected although functions that rely on cookies are obviously disabled. These functions include using online forms (e.g. our enquiry form) or any feature that requires login. We use a cookie to remember your cookie preferences, this has a couple of consequences:

• If you delete all your cookies you will have to tell us your preference again
• If you use a different device, computer profile or browser you will have to tell us your preference again

1. WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Hollie Gazzard Trust (HGT) is a charity set up by Hollie’s parents, Nick and Mandy, and her sister Chloe following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014 by an ex-partner.

HGT helps reduce domestic violence and support victims of stalking through creating and delivering programmes on domestic abuse, stalking and promoting healthy relationships to schools and colleges.

In addition, it funds:

• hairdressing training for young people who may not otherwise have the funds to study – Hollie was passionate about hairdressing and HGT enables others to follow their dream; and
• a stalking advocate to support victims of stalking
• The Hollie Gazzard Trust also campaigns to reduce anti-social behaviour and knife crime.
• The ultimate aim of the Trust is to positively change the lives of young people through partnerships in communities, as well as working alongside other charities and professional agencies.

2. THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT FOR DATA PROTECTION

If you have any concerns or queries about our data protection policies and procedures please contact: info@wordpress-707655-2407989.cloudwaysapps.com

3. WHY WE PROCESS DATA

HGT process data so that we can operate the Trust effectively and so that our services run smoothly for every person who contacts us – whether you are a visitor to the website, have contacted us to engage our services or you are a someone we contract with.

For example, we undertake training programmes and raise funds to help the Trust and raise awareness of stalking and domestic violence. In order to do this, we need people’s names and process some financial information.

4. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA INCLUDING ANY EXPLANATION OF LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a Trust may collect and process your personal data. Some of these reasons, set out below, are the bases we have for processing your personal data:

Consent

In specific situations, we can collect and process your data with your explicit consent.

When collecting your personal data, we always make clear to you which data is necessary in connection with a particular service.

Occasionally we process special category data for example about participants on our training courses – we only do this with their explicit consent.

Contractual obligations

In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligations.

We need to collect and retain contact and other details so we can for example:

• deliver our service,
• supply you with the goods you purchase from our online shop
• supply you with advice or information
• funding various posts related to the Trusts objective
• to enter into contract with you to supply us with goods or services.

Legal obligations

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.  

For example, we are obliged to retain certain information for HMRC reporting purposes or to comply with other legislative provisions such as reporting to the Charity Commission.

Legitimate interest

In particular circumstances, we require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our Trust and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

We use legitimate interests as a ground for processing data where we consider that the processing is such that you would expect us to do so:

For example:

We retain customer, client and supplier information for 6 years after the end of the accounting period in order maintain a good working relationship with these individuals

When responding to email queries or communication raised through our website – all data would be processed as part of our legitimate interests.

5. WHEN WE COLLECT DATA

The Trust collects information at various times. For example:

• When people arrange training sessions that we run and when you book onto the training sessions your details may either be provided by you or shared with us by those arranging the training
• When you contact us directly via post, email or telephone we may collect your name and contact details
• When entering into contracts with our suppliers we will collect relevant information including contact and finance details
• When you sign up to receive our newsletter or other information
• When you make a donation to the Trust or when you sign up as a supporter.

The HGT website also collects data. This is a list of the pages and points at which your information will potentially be collected

6. WHAT DATA WE COLLECT

Contact information including: name, address, phone number, email address

In some circumstances we collect and process more personal details when people give information about themselves. We use this information only to facilitate the best relationships with those who we interact with. This could be our suppliers or those who we supply training and advice

Occasionally, we process special category data for example when running training programmes we need to know any medical requirements of participants that could affect them whilst on the course. We only collect this information directly from the participant and with their consent

When you interact with the HGT website, information is also collected. For example, when you donate to us we need to process your bank details and when you make contact with us via the website we will receive your email address and any other information you supply.

HGT also uses Google Analytics – we do not have access to, or collect any information from you other than your IP address which we do not access but is passed directly to Google. The use of google analytics allows us to optimize our website performance.
