Legal bases for processing your personal information
We need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data under data protection law. The law allows for six ways to process personal data (and additional ways for sensitive personal data). Four of these are relevant to the types of processing that Girlguiding Anglia carries out. This includes information that is processed on the basis of:
- A person’s consent (for example to send you direct marketing by e-mail or SMS);
- A contractual relationship (for example to provide you with goods or services that you have purchased from us);
- Processing that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (for example to process a gift aid declaration and carrying out due diligence on large donations)
- Girlguiding Anglia’s legitimate interests (please see below for more information).
Personal data may be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organisation using the data, as long as its use is fair and does not adversely impact the rights of the individual concerned.
When we use your personal information, we will always consider if it is fair and balanced to do so and if it is within your reasonable expectations. We will balance your rights and our legitimate interests to ensure that we use your personal information in ways that are not unduly intrusive or unfair. Girlguiding Anglia’s legitimate interests include:
- Charity Governance, including delivery of our charitable purposes, statutory and financial reporting and other regulatory compliance purposes and intergroup transfers of data between Girlguiding Anglia and our trading subsidiary;
- Administration and operational management, including responding to solicited enquiries, providing information on Girlguiding Anglia services, research, events management, the administration of volunteers and employment and recruitment requirements. This includes the sharing of information with other regional and local branches of Girlguiding.
- Fundraising and Campaigning, including administering campaigns and donations, and sending direct marketing by post (and in some cases making marketing calls) sending thank you letters, analysis, targeting and segmentation to develop communication strategies and maintaining communication suppressions.
If you would like more information on our uses of legitimate interests or to change our use of your personal data in this manner, please get in touch with us using the details in the “Get in touch” section below.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.
