Privacy and Cookie Policy
This is the Privacy and Cookie Policy of Wetwheels Foundation
Wetwheels Foundation appreciates your visit to our website and your interest in our charity. We value the importance of protecting your privacy and personal data and, therefore, take the privacy of our website users very seriously. This policy provides information about our data protection, privacy, and cookie handling.
How we collect and use information
We use our best efforts to protect the privacy of visitors to our website. We shall not ask you to supply any personal data as a condition of your use of our website. Where you have provided personal data, such as when contacting us or working with us, we only gather personal information—such as first and last names, addresses, and email addresses—when voluntarily submitted by you. These details are stored securely in our Content Management System.
Any information we collect is to help us:
- Provide you with the best service possible
- Manage your registration preferences
- Send you renewal notifications and/or service notifications
- Ensure, as far as is practical, that our websites and applications are compatible with the browsers and operating systems used by most of our visitors
- Enhance or improve user experience on our site
- Conduct customer satisfaction surveys
If you allow us to, we may also send you:
- Our newsletter and other information relating to our charity, which we think may be of interest to you
- Information about other promotional activities
- Invitations to provide feedback
We may use tools to track whether you open the emails we send and which links you click on, to improve our future communications.
How we keep your information secure
Wetwheels Foundation ensures that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with GDPR 2018.
Our Content Management System
Wetwheels Foundation uses a Content Management System that allows access only by those assigned access rights by ourselves. User access is controlled by a username, a password, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Our Website
All the information you give us is protected by a secure server. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.
While we do our best to ensure security, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure. We cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
Sharing of personal information
We do not share personal information with third parties.
In all cases, any use of your personal information by Wetwheels Foundation, which has been instigated by us, will comply with this policy and data protection legislation. If you choose not to receive communications from us or wish to discontinue receiving them, we will not send or will cease sending them to you.
Additionally, we reserve the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation, or legal request; to protect the integrity of the site; to fulfil your requests; or to cooperate in any law enforcement or regulatory investigation. Other than for these reasons, we do not sell, transfer, or disclose personal information we have collected in connection with our charity or website activities to third parties outside of Wetwheels Foundation.
We may transfer data we collect from you to a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example, when we send out a newsletter. By submitting your personal data to us, you agree to this transfer, storage, or processing. We will ensure that any transfer complies with GDPR and that adequate safeguards are in place.
Our website may, from time to time, contain links to external sites. Wetwheels Foundation is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of such sites, and we recommend reading the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
Individuals under 16
Wetwheels Foundation does not intentionally or knowingly process personal information from individuals under the age of 16. If you are aged 16 or under, please obtain your parent/guardian’s permission beforehand. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information. We will make every effort to delete any details of such users where a parent or guardian informs us that these details have been collected.
