Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), the legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
Training for Good may process your Personal Data because:

  • We need to perform a contract with you

  • You have given us permission to do so

  • The processing is in our legitimate interests and it’s not overridden by your rights

  • We need to comply with the law

Where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing your Personal Data, these interests are:

  • To keep our records updated and to study how our Service is used

  • To administer and protect the charity and web presence (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting)

  • To inform our marketing strategies

  • To assess your suitability for potential roles or opportunities at organizations that Training for Good is assisting, and to contact you about such roles

  • To best serve our charitable aims in the most efficient manner possible

​

Retention of Data

Training for Good will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Training for Good will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

 

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside of the United Kingdom and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and process it there. Information may also be saved on US servers.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Training for Good will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
If any websites now owned by Training for Good transfer ownership, for example because they spin off to become a separate project or are acquired by another nonprofit, your information may be transferred to the new owner.

 

Disclosure of Data

​Under certain circumstances, Training for Good may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

Legal Requirements
​Training for Good may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • To comply with a legal obligation

  • To protect and defend the rights or property of Training for Good

  • To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service

  • To protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public

  • To protect against legal liability

​

Security of Data

The security of your Personal Data is important to us. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect. It is important to remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and therefore we cannot 100% guarantee the security of the Personal Data we collect.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Privacy Policy addendum
This policy is an addendum to our general privacy policy, which specifically describes how we collect and process Personal Data in relation to the Service provided by our recruiting team.

​​In brief
We run the Training for Good recruitment process but also work closely with adjacent organisations to fill their most important roles. We use information available online (e.g. on LinkedIn) and submitted by you to us (e.g. when applying for our recruiting service) to match you with high impact roles.
When we come across a role you might be a good fit for, we will either:

  • Contact you to suggest you apply or discuss the opportunity with you.

  • Directly share your contact details, and some of the information you have submitted to us, with the relevant employer.

    • We will only share information in the context of positively recommending you for consideration for a role.

    • We use our discretion when deciding what information to share with potential employers. If you wish to mark particular information as strictly confidential between you and Training for Good, just tell us.

​

Information we may collect
Depending on the circumstances, we may collect, store, and use the following categories of personal information about you:

  • Personal contact details such as name, title, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses.

  • Date of birth.

  • Information on your career background, interests and goals, for example on which problems you’d like to use your career to solve or where you’d like to work.

  • Marital status and dependants.

  • Salary, annual leave, pension and benefits information.

  • Start date(s) of job roles.

  • Location of employment or workplace.

  • Recruitment information (including copies of right to work documentation, references and other information included in a CV or cover letter or as part of the application process).

  • Your previous engagements with Training for Good, for example, information relating to your attendance of relevant events or activities on Training for Good’s website.

In cases where you may decide to provide special category data (for example when applying for assistance from our in-person team) we collect this data under the legal basis of consent and you will be prompted to give consent for the processing of such data for the relevant purpose.

How your information may be collected
We may collect information:

  • On websites such as LinkedIn or a public website.

  • You provide to us through online forms, such as an application for a job or the Incubation Program or indicating your interest in being matched with various roles in effective altruism organizations.

  • Provided to us by a third party, such as your application for a role that you subsequently agreed to share with us.

  • You provide us through other means, such as information on your current plans to a member of staff or online form.


What we may use your information for
When you apply for and use our Service, we may collect and process Personal Data for the following purposes in addition to those outlined in our main privacy policy:

  • To assess your suitability for potential roles with organizations hiring for high impact roles that Training for Good is assisting

  • To provide information to a partner organization about your suitability for a role

When we come across a high impact role you might be a good fit for, we will suggest you apply or discuss the opportunity with you or we will sometimes share your data with high impact potential employers but only if we think you might be a good candidate for a job opening. When we do so we err on the side of caution and try to avoid telling them sensitive or unnecessary information, and require them to respect the security of your data. By applying for or using the Service, you consent to the processing of this data for the above purposes.
