We collect information about you to correctly process your donation.

We may use other companies to provide services on our behalf, including sending emails and analysing data. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

We seek feedback and data to understand why people support us, what we can do to attract more people like you, and how we can inspire and help you spread our story.

We may need to contact you for administration purposes such as your tax status, or to help complete a transaction.
