We always seek to meet and where possible exceed what people would reasonably expect of is with regard to their personal data.

• Comply with any duties of confidentiality in relation to you and your donation.
• Follow any reasonable instructions that we receive from you as to how to contact you.

• Not place undue pressure on you to support us and if you would prefer not to make a donation we will respect your decision.

ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF FUNDS

We will:

• If deemed in the best interests of the charity, turn down a donation, for example because it would be unlawful to accept the donation or acceptance would be detrimental to the achievement of the Charity’s purposes and that detriment is likely to be greater than the benefit of accepting the donation.

• Use donated funds responsibly and to further our charitable objectives, in support of our mission to protect lives and restore livelihoods threatened by landmines and the debris of war.

• Respect your wishes, in line with our fundraising policy, as to the use of your donation and any requirements as to reporting to you on the use of the donation.

• Let you know how funds have been spent in our publicly available annual accounts and trustees’ report.

•If we have a promotional agreements with a third party we will ensure that they make clear how much of the purchase price we receive and will require them to comply with regulations governing commercial participation.

• If we work with a professional fundraiser(s) we will require them to comply with current legislative or regulatory requirements and HALO’s own fundraising policies and standards and we will monitor closely their work.
