Building profiles and targeting communications

We use profiling techniques to ensure communications are relevant and timely, and to provide an improved experience to our supporters and visitors. Profiling also allows us to target our resources effectively.

We do this because it allows us to understand the background of the people who support us and helps us to make appropriate requests to supporters. Importantly it enables us to provide you with communications that are better suited to you while raising more funds, sooner, and more cost-effectively, than we otherwise would.

When building a profile, we may analyse geographic, demographic and other information relating to you in order to better understand your interests and preferences in order to contact you with the most relevant communications. In doing this, we may use additional information from third party sources when it is available. Such information is compiled using publicly available data about you, for example Companies House, listed Directorships or typical earnings in a given area. All this type of profiling is done under our internal processes and procedures that ensure we have the correct permissions to do so.

We may also use this information to help us determine whether and in what ways you might be interested in getting involved in our other fundraising activities.
