We use your data for internal administrative purposes (for example to send you thank you letters, event tickets, remind you when your lottery subscription is due).
We will use your information to claim Gift Aid (when you have signed a Gift Aid declaration).
We use your personal information to make sure that we send you the information which will match your personal interests (for example to send you information about the social or sporting events, campaigns, volunteering and fundraising which may match your interests).
We will use your data to send you our newsletters, fundraising communications, invitations to events and general news about the hospice.
We may also collect information about you from other sources which will help us to provide you with information about topics which may be of interest. (For example we may look at events that you have taken part in, sporting interests, and information from trade directories and public records to create a profile of your interests and preferences).

How we make sure that your information is accurate and complete
Once a year we check your data against publicly available sources (Royal Mail, Experian, Equifax records and records of deaths) to make sure that is correct and complete and to eliminate any errors (for example errors due to handwriting on a form being misread, incomplete or missing postcodes or incorrect telephone numbers).
