You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office, who are the UK regulators for data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach the Information Commissioner’s Office, to enable us to resolve the issue in the first instance.
We may collect and process the following information:
We may also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data under the law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
At this time, we do not collect any information relating to your race or ethnicity, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health, and genetic and/or biometric data. Additionally, we do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a child without the necessary parental consent, we will delete it as soon as possible.
When you visit the Scooda site, we automatically collect information about your device. This includes, but is not limited to, information about your browser, your IP address, the time zone, and the cookies installed on your device at the time of accessing our website.

The lawful bases we operate from, as per Article 6 of the UK GDPR, include:
We will only use your personal data in compliance with what the law allows us to.
Most of the personal information we process is provided directly by you for the purposes of using Scooda. Scooda is the all-in-one platform that gives charities the tools they need to manage their charity and donors in one place.
Examples of how Scooda may use personal data include:
We may share anonymised or aggregated data with third parties for compliance purposes or to improve services.
We primarily store and process personal data within the United Kingdom. If we need to transfer your personal data outside of the UK, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards may include transferring data only to countries that the UK recognises as providing adequate protection, or using Standard Contractual Clauses approved by regulators to ensure your information remains secure.
To provide our services, we may share personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers. These providers process your data only on our instructions and must keep it secure. Categories of third-party processors may include:
We do not engage in automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects for individuals.
We take your privacy seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your data safe. This includes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and regular monitoring of our systems.
We may use your information to keep you updated about our services, for example through newsletters. You may opt out at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or contacting us directly.
We will keep your data for as long as you have an active relationship with us. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of data (for example, account data is retained while your account is active; some technical logs are retained for shorter periods).
Under data protection law, you have rights including:
You are not required to pay any charges for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we have one month to respond. Please contact us at hello@getscooda.com if you wish to make a request.
