We process the information in connection to selection and appointment processes but destroy personal data and information regarding non-selected applicants soon after the recruitment process has ended.

If you partner with us, we keep contact details and entity or personal data, as agreed through cooperation agreements.

Consent

We process personal data from people taking part in our field programmes or projects based on (contractual) consent. For personal data connected to children under parental care/ guardianship (giving consent on their behalf) we also seek the minor’s consent if any of the personal information is to be shared in the public space and the child is above 14 years old.

When we process supporter (donor) data with the intent of communicating with you through electronic means (including SMS) we do this based on your explicit consent.

We may process staff and volunteer data in connection to obligatory or needed processes identified in employment agreements or other signed agreements based on their consent.

Legitimate interest

We process personal data connected to supporter engagement (us sending out news and invitations to participate) and supporter contributions (registering the contribution in our management systems) based on legitimate interest. We communicate with supporters for a reasonable time period after their last engagement and always with the opportunity for the supporter to change their supporter preferences or choice to not receive further communications.

Legal obligation

We process personal data based on our legal obligation to do so. Examples of this are tax reporting to the authorities for staff and people benefitting from our programmes and projects or filing driving data for staff or volunteers driving our company vehicles.

Processing sensitive information and information regarding children or vulnerable persons

We are conscious that from time to time we process sensitive information and partly process information regarding children and vulnerable persons (both programme participants and supporters). We strive to ensure that children and/or vulnerable persons understand the content of the consent (even when a guardian gives consent) and do our utmost to protect the vulnerable from any form of pressure (i.e. elderly supporters). We never share any categories of sensitive information with third parties.

Processing communication, requests, and donations

We process your personal data and information in connection to providing you with the communication we believe you will benefit from and that give you the opportunity to stay informed and engaged. We may also process your personal data in connection to any request you may send our way and when we register your donation or contribution.

We may process your data in such way that we can offer you engagement opportunities based on area of living, area of interest, expressed funding capacity and church affiliation.

Social media marketing

If you have provided us with your e-mail (under consent), we may reach out to you with information and marketing material through Facebook or other social media platforms. As we plan efficient campaigns on Facebook, Facebook may use your Facebook activities (anonymously) to build effective lookalike audiences who may share similar characteristics to you, for the purposes of reaching like-minded individuals.

Share testimonies and personal stories

We may share personal data as an integral part of testimonies and personal stories with the greater audience based on consent.

Process relating to recruitment, employment and/or volunteering

When you apply for employment or a volunteering role with Mission Without Borders, we collect, process, and store your personal data in connection to recruitment activities. We keep that data for the duration of your employment (or period of volunteering) and for the duration that we are legally obliged to and then safely destroy the data.

Private and secure

We keep your personal data stored securely by keeping our technology and software updated and by storing data in a secure hosting environment. We never share or swap your personal data with any other charity, organisation, or other entity and only process for Mission Without Borders related activities. Access to the personal data is only granted to relevant staff members and /or volunteers that need such access to carry out our work and always within a secure environment. If we use third parties for parts of our processing work, it always happens governed by a contract that legally binds the parties and takes all privacy and personal data regulations into account.

Sharing with authorities

We are legally obliged to submit certain personal data to the authorities. Examples of this are tax records for employees, your donations for tax exempt (based on your request) and deliverables to programme and project attendees in our programme countries.

Sharing with service providers and third parties

We may share personal data with third parties when they assist us in carrying out necessary parts of our work. Such sharing of data is always governed by an agreement that honors applicable regulations and your privacy, and all data shared is safely destroyed once the agreed processing/ operation is carried out.

How long we keep your data

We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it for each of our activities. What we must do by law, accounting and tax all come into play. We also have a separate data retention policy to guide us. If you want to know more about how long we keep your data, please feel free to contact us.

Preferences

If you want to change what we send you, or how we contact you, just let us know – for example you can tell us that you no longer want fundraising materials or parts of the material, or you can ask us to contact you by email rather than post.
