Privacy Policy

CARE International UK is committed to protecting your privacy online.

Any information we collect about you from our website is used to help us understand more about who visits our site, and also to send to you communications about CARE International UK that may be of interest to you. Your personal information helps us identify you and may include ‘personally identifiable information’ like your email address, name, title, and address.

To understand how your personal information will be treated, please read the following policy. This policy may change over time so please refer to it periodically.

1. What personally identifiable information does CARE International UK collect about me?

CARE International UK uses cookies like many other sites in order to provide you with a better, more personal web experience.

A cookie is a text-only string of information that we pass to your computer’s hard disk through your web-browser so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

For more information about cookies, please see www.allaboutcookies.org

If you do not wish to receive cookies you can easily modify your web browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled, and so in order to enjoy the CARE International UK site to the full, we recommend that you leave them switched on.

For instructions on how to stop cookies being installed on your browser, please see http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies

2. How is CARE International UK using information about me?

CARE International UK uses the information we collect about you to facilitate our understanding of our web visitors and to be able to send communications that you have subscribed to or that may be considered of interest to you

3. Who is collecting your information?

Unless stated otherwise, when you are on the CARE International UK website, any personal information you give remains with CARE International UK alone. For example, our secure online donation service is provided by a partner company World Pay plc. and this is stated on our donation page.

4. With whom does CARE International UK share your information?

CARE International UK will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except when we have your permission or where the law requires it.

5. How might my information be used, e.g., its collection and distribution?

If you have subscribed to find out more about CARE International UK’s work or emergency appeals we will send you communications about CARE’s work, electronically or otherwise. We may also send you direct mail we feel may be of interest to you.

We do not distribute, sell or rent user information to anyone. Occasionally we work with other organisations to write to some of each other’s supporters, for the mutual benefit of both.


6. Can I update, correct, or delete my personally identifiable information?

CARE International UK maintains high standards of accuracy in keeping your identifying information up-to-date. If you change email address or know that the information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please email us at info@careinternational.org, or write with the details to:

7. How does CARE International UK protect my personal identifiable information?

CARE International UK is committed to taking reasonable steps to protect the individual identifying information that you provide to us.

8. How is my information secured or protected against loss, misuse, or alteration?

When you give personally identifying information to CARE International UK we ensure to the best of our ability that it is secure on our systems. Where your personally identifying information is stored and processed overseas (eg online donation services) we make our best effort to ensure that your information is treated securely. However, we cannot guarantee that information you submit over the internet is 100% secure, and as a result do not ensure or warrant the security of personal information submitted to us, and you do so at your own risk.
