Privacy Notice & Cookies Policy

The De Morgan Foundation is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our web site, subscribers to our newsletter, Friends and Supporters (those attending events or visiting) and customers in our online shop, including those who pay for Friends’ Scheme membership or donate to us in this way. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter, or if you make a purchase online.

Visitors to our Website

When someone visits www.demorgan.org.uk we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. You can find more information on how cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy below.

If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

Newsletter Sign Up

As part of the registration process for our monthly newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information to contact you with our news, information about our activities, including events and loans and to let you know about new offers in our online shop. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider, Mail Chimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see Mail Chimp’s privacy notice.

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing Curator – Manager Sarah Hardy.

Friends’ Scheme

When you sign up to our Friends’ Scheme, we will take and store your name, address, email address and telephone number so that we can send you your membership card and contact you with our news, information about our activities, including events and loans and to let you know about new offers in our online shop. We will use your name and email address to add you to our monthly newsletter mailing list which is delivered through the third-party provider Mail Chimp (see Newsletter Sign Up above for further information). We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

Supporters

The De Morgan Foundation advertises its events through Facebook, on our Newsletter and through the third-party events organising website, Event Brite.

Facebook

You are welcome to click ‘attending’ on these events on our Facebook page, but we do not add any data from this social media platform to any of our records. You must also email us or sign up through Event Brite in order to sign up for our events. See below on how we use your personal data from these providers.

Our Newsletter

By clicking the RSVP button in our newsletter where we advertise events, you will be directed to email us.

Event Brite

When you sign up to our events through Event Brite, your name, address data, email and contact number will be stored in their system. Event Brite’s privacy notice can be viewed here.

We collect you name and email address when you sign up to events with either email or through Event Brite so that we may contact you if there are changes or cancellations for the events that you have signed up for, and to keep a register of attendees and to analyse attendance in order to improve our future offers. We may pass these lists to others if they are jointly organised events or being held at a venue where a cancellation might be out of our control. For example, if you are attending an event at our partner site, Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village, we may pass them your details so they know to expect you and can contact you if the event has to be cancelled.

Online Shop

When you make a purchase in the De Morgan Foundation’s online shop, including making a donation or joining our Friends’ Scheme, your name, address data, email and contact number will be stored in our payment provider service, PayPal. PayPal’s privacy notice can be read here. We do not export any information from PayPal unless you have bought Friends’ Scheme Membership, in which case we use your contact details (name, address, email address and telephone number) to send you information about the scheme and add you to our mailing list, which you can opt out of receiving at any time. You may, of course, contact Curator – Manager Sarah Hardy if you would prefer a purchase from the shop by sending a cheque directly to us. Please be assured that we do not share your personal details with any other company without your consent.

Breach

In the event of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data, the Foundation shall promptly assess the risk to people’s rights and freedoms and if appropriate report this breach to the ICO (more information on the ICO website).
