HEP Horizons Charity, UK registered charity no 1198056 is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Our privacy policy explains how we hold and use personal information and your rights and options in relation to it so please take a moment to read it carefully.
How is my personal information collected:
What type of data do we collect, store and use:
We collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
Applying for a job or Volunteering Position with Horizons Charity:
We will collect data about individuals, both personal data (such as name and contact details) and also sensitive personal data (such as information in a CV). The personal data and sensitive personal data will be stored, processed, used and disclosed by us in the following ways:
Profiling, data analysis and updating your contact details: As we are a charity relying on donations, we may analyse the personal information we collect to create a profile of individual’s interests and preferences and we may gather information about you from publicly available sources, for example Companies House and the media, to help us understand more about you as an individual and your ability to support Horizons Charity, including financially. In addition, from time to time, we carry out an analysis of our supporters and the donations they have made. These activities provide us with an indication of the type of support and likely donations that we may receive in the future which allows us to plan fundraising activities. We may also enhance the data we hold on individuals by receiving information about them from public sources or third parties.
Research: we may carry out research on the demographics, interests and behaviour of our users and supporters to help us gain a better understanding of them and to enable us to improve our service to users and focus conversations with supporters. This research may be carried out internally by our employees. You will always have the right to opt out of this processing.
Orders and Donations: Any orders and donations made will require personal and financial information. We will collect an individual’s personal information (such as contact details), demographic information (like age, gender), and financial information (such as account numbers).
Contact information and financial information from the order, donation forms or enquiries are used to fulfil orders or provide services. An individual’s contact information is also used to get in touch with them when necessary, for example to be able to fulfil an order. Financial information that is collected is held securely and deleted on an ongoing basis (credit card details are not stored).
We also retain personal data to supply to HMRC where we are able to claim gift aid on a donation – HMRC requires title, first initial, surname, house name or number and postcode for every donation claimed against.
We will not sell or exchange personal details with other organisations other than where we have a duty to share that information with third parties, regulatory or law enforcement agencies if we believe in good faith that we are required by law to disclose it in connection with the detection of crime, the collection of taxes or duties, in order to comply with any applicable law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with legal proceedings.
Access to your information
We will always try to ensure that the data we hold for you is up to date, reasonable and not excessive. You can check the information that we hold about you by e-mailing us at hello@horizonscharity.org or writing to Horizons Charity, Hornsey School for Girls, Inderwick Road, Crouch End N8 9JF

Cookies and IP addresses
We measure visits to our websites in order to improve their usability. The data we collect may contain personal information (an IP address and/or cookies). We do not link IP addresses to individuals. IP addresses are used for internal research and promotion purposes and are not provided to third parties. Cookies issued by us only contain a unique number and therefore contain no personal data. We do not link cookies to individuals other than to recognise repeat visits.
(IP address definition - An IP address is a series of numbers that identify computers on the internet. IP addresses can theoretically be linked to an individual. Such linking requires additional information (particularly from the internet provider who issued the IP address or from the visitor themselves). For that reason IP addresses are considered personal data.)
(Cookie definition - A cookie is a small file that is stored on the computer of a visitor when they visit a website. If they visit the website again, the cookie shows that it is a repeat visit. Because the visitor is recognised though the cookie, cookies are considered personal data. In addition, cookies may contain personal data themselves.)
