Disclosure - Personal Information
We may share personal information with selected third parties including:
- suppliers. We use third party suppliers for the provision of our services such as for cloud storage (Website and Application Hosting) and payment processing. Our suppliers will only use individual account holder personal information in accordance with our instructions and to provide services on our behalf.
- Charities. We may share your personal data with charities that are registered with our site for fundraising and that you choose to donate to. When we do so we ensure that your data is shared in a secure and safe manner.
- Charities are sent details of your donation so that charities can process the donation for reporting purposes and claiming Gift Aid. (Gift Aid is available in the United Kingdom Only)
- Payment gateways and merchant providers. When an account holder makes a donation, we are required to disclose certain information to payment providers to process the transaction. The information shared with the payment providers will only be used for the payment and will not be stored or used for any other purpose.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Fundraise Tap or our users. This includes exchanging personal information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
We may also disclose your data in connection with a corporate transaction, for example, to third parties that may be interested in purchasing our business or assets. If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, then your personal information may be transferred as one of the transferred assets.

We collect contact details either directly from you or from publicly available sources in order to inform you of products we think you may be interested in.
We will only contact you with Marketing from Fundraise Tap or the charity you donated to if you have confirmed you would like to receive marketing from us. This is always made clear on the donation page or on the application when you donate.
How and where we store personal information
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide you with our services and for a reasonable period thereafter to enable us to meet our contractual and legal obligations and to deal with complaints and claims.
At the end of the retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data, so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning. It is unlikely that we’ll ever share your personal data outside the UK, European Union or European Economic Area. If, however, it becomes necessary for the purposes of providing our services to you, we will only share it with organisations in countries benefiting from a European Commission adequacy decision or on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission which contractually oblige the recipient to process and protect your personal data to the standard expected within the UK.
Security
We have implemented appropriate technical, organisational and security measures to protect personal information and all personal information we store is held on our secure servers and is encrypted.
The Fundraise Tap Application for Android & Apple devices uses Stripe to process donations and provide a highly secure payment method by using NFC technology to transmit encrypted, single-use tokens rather than sensitive card data. It complies with all PCI standards, features end-to-end encryption for data in transit, and protects against fraud by using dynamic, one-time codes that render intercepted data unusable.
Google Pay is a highly secure payment method that offers better protection than traditional card swipes by utilising tokenisation, encryption, and biometric authentication. It replaces the actual card number with unique virtual account number, keeps data on secure servers, and requires device locks (fingerprint, face, or PIN) for transactions, effectively preventing fraud
Apple Pay is highly secure, offering better protection than physical cards by using tokenisation, biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID), and a dedicated Secure Element chip to prevent fraud. Real card numbers are never stored on devices or Apple servers, and transactions require user authorization.
When we receive confirmation of your online donation we do not have access to your full card details. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
