We respect your right to privacy and comply with our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).  In line with the GDPR changes we are updating our Privacy Policy so you can better understand how we collect and process your data.  The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to outline how we deal with your personal data. We only collect the minimum amount of data required for processing.  We may obtain your personal data in two ways:

(a) provision by you of your name and email address and any other personal data you choose to submit to the IOGF through the “Contact Us” page on www.irishogf.org (the “Site”); and/or
(b) your submission of personal data through any charitable donation platform made available to you by, or on behalf of, your employer (the “Donation Platform”) for the purpose of making a donation to the IOGF, which the platform makes available to the IOGF for the purpose of acknowledging and administering your donation.

1.2 If you are not happy with this Privacy Policy you should not submit donations to, or for the benefit of, the IOGF or otherwise send personal data to the IOGF.

1.3 Your submission of personal data to the IOGF, through the Site, a Donation Platform or otherwise, signifies your consent to us collecting and using personal information about you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
