Privacy notice

Who we are

NBCC is a volunteer run Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), charity number SC047995, regulated by OSCR. We are the data controller for the personal data described here.

What we collect

When you give or get in touch, we may collect:

• your name and contact details, such as email and postal address;
• the details of your gift, including amount and whether it is a single or monthly gift;
• your Gift Aid declaration, where you choose to add Gift Aid;
• the message you send us through the contact form.

Card payments are handled by our payment provider. We never see or store your full card number.

Why we use it, and our legal basis

We use your data to process your gift, send you a receipt and thank you where you have asked us to, claim Gift Aid from HMRC where you are eligible, and answer your enquiry. Our legal basis is your consent for optional emails, and our legitimate interest and legal obligations for processing gifts and Gift Aid.

Sharing your data

We do not sell your data, ever. We share it only where we must: with HMRC for a Gift Aid claim, and with the payment and email providers that help us run the campaign, who act on our instructions.

How long we keep it

We keep Gift Aid records for six years after your most recent claimed gift, as HMRC requires. Other data we keep only for as long as we need it, then delete it.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you the data we hold, correct it, or delete it, and you can withdraw your consent to emails at any time. To do any of these, or if you have a question about your privacy, please get in touch.

Fundraising standards

We follow the Code of Fundraising Practice. Fundraising in Scotland is overseen by the Scottish Fundraising Adjudication Panel. If you would rather we did not contact you, you can also use the Fundraising Preference Service to manage or stop fundraising communications.
