See below for more information about how we update and manage your information.
- In order to monitor the effectiveness of our communications with you, we may use tools such as email tracking – this records when an e-newsletter from us is opened and/or how many links are clicked within the message. The data from this tracking is generally used in an aggregated and anonymised form.
You can opt out of receiving any/all of our communications at any point simply by contacting:

In processing your on-line order we may send your details to, and use information from, credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies.
How we update and manage your information
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information that you think is inaccurate.

- WealthEngine, a wealth intelligence database
- Reviewing employment information that you have made publicly available via social media
- Newspaper articles, publications and company websites
- Companies House and other company information databases

- Any other publicly available sources
Where we appoint an external party to undertake a screening of information, any such arrangements will be subject to a formal agreement between Transform and that organisation, to protect the security of your data.
We may segment the information we hold about you in our database based on a proprietary score. These scores are calculated using personal data, as well as how engaged with us you have previously been, and indicators of future engagement. Analysis of this helps us understand our existing and potential supporters and donors to ensure that we are efficient in our operations and that only relevant communications are sent to you.

We may segment the information we hold about you in our database along with other data such as how frequently you engage with us and your interests as indicators of future engagement.

Who might we share your information with and how will we keep your data secure?
We do not disclose personal data to any third parties or external organisations, other than data processors carrying out work on our behalf.
Examples of such data processors would be a bulk email distributor such as MailChimp for the collection (eg via sign-up forms) and storage of personal data (eg within the Transform MailChimp account in order to allow the creation and use of distribution lists, to send marketing email campaigns, and place online advertisements), and the transfer of personal data to certain of MailChimp’s sub-processors (who perform some critical services, such as helping MailChimp prevent abuse and providing support to customers). We may occasionally need to transfer your personal information overseas, for instance, to MailChimp. Where this is necessary, this may be to countries or territories around the world. We are required to ensure any transfers of data will be done securely, in accordance with best practice, and in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998. MailChimp has certified to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.
Any such companies are acting as approved data processors for Transform and we retain full responsibility for your personal data. Data processors will act only on our instructions.
Your data will never be sold or passed to any third party for any other purpose.
We have implemented security procedures, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure and unauthorised modification.
All our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are legally obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors’ and subscribers’ personal data.
How can I access information held about me, and/or correct the information?
You can ask us about any personal data that we hold about you and you can also request to receive a copy of that personal data – this is called a Subject Access Request.
To make a Subject Access Request you will need to provide proof of your identity such as a copy of your passport, birth certificate or driving licence before your request can be processed.
To help us deal with your request, please try to be as clear as possible about the information you are seeking.
Once we have received your Subject Access Request, the agreed fee and proof of identity, you will receive a response from us within 40 days and you will be able to get copies of any information we hold on you. However, exemptions to disclosure may apply in some circumstances.
