Do we sell or share personal data?

We never sell your personal data to other organisations, nor do we intentionally share your personal data with any organizations outside of the IHS Global network. However, we may share your personal data with our partner organizations with your consent. See Page 8 for a list of our current partner organizations.

If we run an event, project, or campaign in collaboration with another named organisation, your details may need to be shared with them and those who provide services to help us deliver the event, project, or campaign. We will make it clear what will happen to your data when you register. For example, IHS Global is collaborating with Healthcare Christian Fellowship of South Africa (HCFSA—a subsidiary of partner HCFI) on a project involving book “Come, Walk with Me.” In this project, HCFSA will notify their constituents about “Come, Walk with Me,” encouraging those constituents to download a free electronic copy of the book from the “Come, Walk with Me” landing page.On this landing page, site visitors will have the opportunity to download a free electronic copy of the book after entering personal data into a lead form. This lead form is connected to the IHS Global database (Virtuous CRM), where the information entered into that lead form will be stored as a contact. Upon downloading the book, two things will happen: (1) that person will begin receiving blog “Lessons Learned on the Journey” from IHS Global among other communications, and (2) that person will be shared as a contact with HCFI to be engaged with however HCFI deems appropriate. Because data sharing is a part of this collaborativeproject, everyone who wishes to download the book must first consent to being contacted by bothIHS Global and HCFI. The privacy policies of both organizations must also be accepted before downloading the book. If someone does not wish to provide their consent, we will be unable to provide them with the book, as our follow-up communications are necessary to process and confirm their download. Other projects like this, involving us and one or more of our partner organizations, will occur with regularity, such as with our Saline Process Trainings. In all such cases, your consent is required before you are able to receive our services. This is to protect you, us, and our partner organizations.

IHS Global may disclose your personal data only in the following circumstances:

  • Where we are under a duty to disclose your personal data tocomply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies), or in order to enforce or apply our rights (including in relation to our website or other applicable terms and conditions) or to protect IHS Global(for example in cases of suspected fraud or defamation).

  • When we are authorized in sharing that personal data with a partner organization during a collaborative event, project, or campaign, as described above.

  • To third parties who provide a service to us, with us, for us,and/orare our data processors. We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders;delivering packages; sending postal mail,email, and SMS messages;removing repetitive data from customer lists; analysing data; providing marketing and communications assistance; processing credit card payments; providing customer service; general IT maintenance; etc. These data processors and third-party affiliates have access to personal data needed to perform their functions but may not use it for purposes other than those needed to perform their functions. We require these third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and data protection laws and will make sure that appropriate controls are in place.

How we keep your personal data safe and who has access to it

We maintain a high level of security in relation to the collection, storage, and disclosure of your data. This is very important to us, and we take steps to ensure that your personal data is safe.

Storing your data

We place great importance on the security of all personal data associated with our subscribers, supporters, and customers.

Datais stored by IHS Globalon secure servers at our offices, off-site,and in the Cloud. We may also store data in paper files and other electronic devices. Our IHS Global networks are protected by a highly encrypted firewall and highly passcoded infrastructures. Any data that is stored in one of our third-party data processors is secured using the best security software available. Virtuous CRM utilizes the Microsoft Azure platform,and IHS Global’s Virtuous account is placed on its very own Azure SQL server, which ensures that our data is protected in a highly secured silo. iDonate, our credit card payment processor, maintains the highest data privacy standards set by GDPR. Microsoft Office 365, including Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, highly encrypts data in transit and at rest using the best of the best, including E-discovery to preserve data, Exchange Online Protection for spam filtering, the Azure data protection and security measures, and a host of other data loss prevention systems. MailChimp requires two-factor authentication to login to any MailChimp account, greatly decreasing the risk of a rogue sign on. Our other third-party applications utilize similar security measures. To ensure your understanding, please visit the privacy policies of our third-party affiliates.

We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal data under our control. For example, only authorised personnel can access personal data with the appropriate passcodes. We ensure access to data is password protected or secured via locked filing cabinets and we encrypt financial data you input before it is sent to us. While in transit and at rest in our database, your data is secured via our third-party processors. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration of data will not occur while it is under our control, we have and will continue to use our best efforts to prevent this.

Any sensitive or special categories of data you may provide to us are only shared on an absolute need to know basis and are stored securely.

We enforce strict procedures and security features to protect your data and prevent unauthorised access, although we cannot completely guarantee the security of any data you transmit to us.

Where you or we have provided a password enabling you to access parts of our website or use our services, it is your responsibility to keep this password confidential. Please don’t share your password with anyone. If you think anyone else has gained access to your password, please let us know as soon as possible.

Transferring your data

Some of the data we store and process stays within the United States and some data may be transferred to other countries.For example, in our collaborative project with HCFSA, a person’s data will be collected by processes developed in the United States and stored in Virtuous, which is based in the United States. However, that data will also be shared with our partner, HCFI, which is based in South Africa and the Netherlands. This means that, for this particular project, personal data will be transferred across international borders. When sharing this data, we will ensure that the highest safety procedures are maintained. Further, we may need to transfer data to a third-party data processor, such as an international distributor, in order to fulfill international orders or other deliverables at your request. Additionally, because the personal data stored in Virtuous can be accessed by any IHS Global staff member who has the necessary login credentials(including two-factor authentication) from anywhere in the world, personal data that was imported into Virtuous from the US may be accessed across international borders. However, Virtuous ensures that their platform is secured with Microsoft’s highly reliable and highly secure Azure system.

Additional instances of data transfer include: one of our supplier’s servers on which personal data is stored is located in another country, or one of our cloud IT platforms disperses data between a number of different servers around the world. In any of the a forementioned instances, these countries may not have similar data protection laws. We ensure that all of our data processors in the US conform to GDPRRegulations: GDPR Archives -GDPR.eu.

By submitting your personal data to us you agree to this transfer, storing, or processing at locations in other countries.

However, we will ensure that your privacy continues to be protected as outlined in this privacy notice and in accordance with our legal obligations under relevant data protection legislation.

Information for users in the EEA or in the UK:

IHS Global may transfer Personal Information from the EEA or the UK to the United States, including Personal Information we receive from individuals residing in the EEA or the UK who visit our Websites and/or who may use our Services or otherwise interact with us. Please note that the term Personal Information used in this Notice is equivalent to the term “personal data” under applicable European and UK data protection laws for individuals located in the EEA or the UK. When IHS Global engages in such transfers of Personal Information, it relies on i) Adequacy Decisions as adopted by European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR),or ii) Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. The European Commission has determined that the Standard Contractual Clauses provide sufficient safeguards to protect personal data transferred outside the EU or EEA. For more information, please visit https: //ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en.. IHS Global continually monitors the circumstances surrounding such transfers in order to ensure that these maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the one guaranteed by the GDPR.

Following invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework in Case C-311/18 by the Court of Justice of the European Union, IHS Global will no longer rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield as a mechanism of international data transfer until further notice.

Payment by credit or debit card

If you use your credit or debit card to donate to us, or pay online, over the phone or in person, we will ensure that this is done securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Find out more data about PCI DSS standards by visiting their website at www.pcisecuritystandards.org.

Only those staff authorised to process payments will be able to see your card details. Once your transaction is completed, we do not store your full credit or debit card details.

We do not intentionally pass on any personal data about you to any other site when you link to that site.

How long we keep your data for

We will hold your personal data on our systems forever or until(1) you ask for it to be removed, (2) that personal data is no longer useful/relevant, or (3) the law requires us to remove that data.

Where your data is no longer needed, we will ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner.

If you request that we stop sending you communications of any kind, we will keep a record of your contact details and appropriate data so that we are able to comply with your request.

Your rights

To enable this, and to ask whether you are able to support us, we’d like to keep in touch with you (by post, phone, email, text and other electronic means) about our work and how you can continue to help us in this important mission.

We will not use your data for marketing or fundraising purposes if you have asked us not to or if we do not have your consent to use that data for these purposes. However, we will retain your basic details on a suppression list to help ensure that we do not continue to contact you.

If you are registered to receive one of our communications, every email provides a clear opportunity for you to opt out (unsubscribe) from future communications.
