How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which is placed on your computer’s hard drive and is used to help us analyse web traffic. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Google Analytics and cookies

If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all features of this website in full.

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.

Controlling and protecting your personal information

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties, individuals or organisations outside of ReachAcross and the wider ReachAcross group of charities bearing the ReachAcross name, unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

No information we collect from you will be transferred to and/or processed and/or stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including the U.S., except that personal data relating to enquiries and applications for overseas mission service may be transferred to and/or processed and/or stored outside the EEA and in such cases we will take reasonable steps such as secure email services and encryption to ensure that your data remains secure and the recipient implements appropriate measures to protect your information.

We will only allow our staff/trustees/volunteers to access and use your information for the purposes for which you have provided it to us (e.g. to send mailings, to process donations and payments, process enquiries and applications for mission service, etc.). We only provide our staff/trustees/volunteers with the information they need to deliver the relevant service.
