​

Security of Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal data provided via the Site from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please be aware that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from the Site may not be secure.

 

Your Rights in Relation to Your Data

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at hello@elischerfoundation.org

 

In some circumstances, such as when the data is no longer required or if the use of the data has no legal justification, you have the right to have that data erased, as well as the right to object to our handling of your data. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time when we rely on consent as a legal ground to justify our handling of your personal data. This would not affect the lawfulness of anything done before consent is withdrawn but it would stop us from continuing to use the relevant information.

 

Changes to our Privacy Notice

Our privacy notice may be updated at any time, so please check it from time to time.  We may, for example, change the way we process your information, or there may be a change in law.  If we make any significant changes to this notice, we will show this clearly on our website.
