NOhep Privacy Policy
NOhep is committed to securing your personal information and being open and transparent about what we do with it. We will only use your personal information in accordance with all applicable laws concerning the protection of personal information. We will never do anything with your information that you would not reasonably expect us to do, having freely provided us with it.
This policy is written in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. It has been reviewed and updated thoroughly to comply with the changes proposed by the COI that came into effect in May 2018. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact our Data Protection Officer at 27 Crosby Row, London SE1 3YD or by telephone on 020 7378 0159.
How do we obtain your personal information?
We collect this information directly from you either when you email us or submit your information to us through the website. You may give this information to us when signing up to join the NOhep movement, becoming a visionary, expressing interest in receiving our newsletter, participating in any event on or offline that we host, or otherwise give us your personal information. Where a professional interest is deemed to exist we sometimes use a business email address that is in the public domain.
Sometimes your information will be processed by an organisation working for us (a data processing company), but at all times these companies will have been vetted and have their own approved Data Protection Policy.
What information do we collect?
Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you. This can be anything from your name and email address through to your health or personal circumstances. Data protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive. We do not collect this sensitive personal data unless it has been provided to us for a specific purpose (for example, indicating specific health information about yourself for our NOhep YouTube channel). The most common form of Personal information we hold on individuals are simply their names and email addresses.
How do we use your information?
How we use your information is compliant on why you provided it to us in the first place. Largely, we will contact individuals in order to effectively continue to engage with them based on a common goal of eliminating viral hepatitis. This can consist of providing information about upcoming webinars, events or surveys or to actively seek individual’s involvement in campaigns to support our mission and vision. We also use your information to keep a record of your relationship with us, for internal administrative purposes and to let you know about changes to our services.
Direct Marketing
By providing us with your email address we will send you communications about our work, campaigns and direction. Occasionally, we may include information from partner organisations who support our work including the World Hepatitis Alliance (who are the secretariat). You can opt-out of these marketing emails at any time and we include information on how you can say no to such marketing in our emails.
You can also let us know if you would prefer not to receive these communications at any time by calling us on 020 7378 0159, or writing to our Data Protection Officer at the address above.
Who do we share your information with?
All personal information is stored and processed in our UK office. We will not sell your details to any third parties, but we may sometimes share your information with our trusted service providers who are authorised to act on our behalf or with our secretariat WHA.
When we collect your personal information we use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, NOhep cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Accessing and updating your personal information
You can request access to any information we hold about you or to let us know if you would no longer like to receive communications from us by contacting our Data Protection Officer at NOhep, 27 Crosby Row, London, SE1 3YD, or telephone 020 7378 0159. Equally, please let us know of any changes to your personal information.
