  • seek your views or comments on the services we provide
  • notify you of changes to our services
  • promote our services or for fundraising
  • to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us

We understand that you trust us with your personal information and we are committed to ensuring you can manage the privacy and security of your personal information yourself.

The legal basis we rely on to process personal information 

In order to comply with data protection legislation, we need to keep a register of the full range of personal information that we hold and on this register we also must state the legal basis which allows us to hold this information. The law on information protection sets out a number of different bases on which an organisation may collect and process your personal information, including: 

Consent

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

Performance of a contract

In certain circumstances, we need your personal information in order to perform a contract that we have entered into with you. 

Legal Obligation

If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your information.  We may also need to pass your information onto a third party if required by law. 

Legitimate interest

In specific situations, we require your information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and delivering our services.

Who has access to your information?

Within Change Your Mind, access is only available to those who need this information in order to provide a service to you or to fulfil the contract that we have with you. Access may be required by support departments within Change Your Mind, such as ICT and Finance, as well as those involved in the direct delivery of services to you.

Third Party Providers/Partners that we work in association with

We work closely with various third party providers such as the health professionals, social services, Health Trusts or the Health Service Executive. This is necessary to ensure that we have a range of quality and reliable services designed to meet the needs of our Service Users. The relevant third party provider will use your details to provide Change Your Mind with information and carry out both our and their obligations to you when using the services. In some cases, they will be acting as a data controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their Privacy Policy.  These third party providers/partners will share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf

We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to ICT support providers). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Change Your Mind, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

How long do we keep your information for?

We will only keep your information for as long as we need to or for as long as we are legally required to.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

How you can access and update your information

The accuracy of your information is important to us. If any of your information that we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please notify us.

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information that Change Your Mind hold about you. This is known as a Subject Access Request and we have 30 calendar days to comply with such a request. There is no charge.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any confidential and sensitive information is securely filed and we apply software to our ICT to prevent unauthorised access to your information. We have appropriate procedures in place for data security and management of records. All of our staff are trained in data protection and GDPR.

We also monitor compliance with data protection procedures through our internal audit programme.
