Privacy Policy

BFHU uses PayPal and Stripe Credit Card Payment and Electronic Commerce Systems to ensure the safety of online transactions for those wishing to make donations.

We will obtain personal information from you when you enquire about our activities, register with us, make a donation to us or otherwise provide us with personal information. Personal information is anything that enables us to identify you as an individual, for example, your name and email address. When you supply information to us, we are legally obliged by the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation to ensure that the information you have provided is only used for the purpose for which it was requested, and to ensure that the data is kept securely.

When you provide us with your personal data, you are consenting to collection and use of any information you provide in accordance with the above purposes and this privacy statement.

We may use your personal information to provide you with the services, products or information you have requested, for administration purposes and to further our charitable aims, including for fundraising activities. We may need to share your information with our service providers, the Hebrew University and agents for these purposes. We only use your personal information for direct marketing purposes (such as newsletters or upcoming events) if we are allowed to do this by law or if we have your consent. You can change your mind at any time by contacting BFHU at Supreme House, 300 Regents Park Road, London N3 2JX or email friends@bfhu.org

BFHU uses cookies to enhance your experience while using our site. Cookies are small pieces of information sent by a web server when you log onto our website that keep track of your browsing patterns. Cookies are stored on your computer’s hard drive and allow us to recognise you as a user when you next visit our site. Use of cookies makes web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords. The use of cookies does not give BFHU access to the rest of your computer. If you want to prevent our cookies being stored on your computer in future, you may do so by referring to your internet browser’s instructions. You can do this by clicking on the “Help” menu. Please note however that if you disable our cookies you may not be able to access certain services or facilities on our sites and your use of our sites may be restricted. Further information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.AboutCookies.org.uk.

All information provided to www.bfhu.org is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of BFHU. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.

As indicated above, we may pass your information to our service providers, agents and the Hebrew University and, if you have consented, to other organisations who may share our objectives. We may also need to disclose your information if required to do so by law.

By providing us with your personal data, you consent to the collection and use of any information you give in accordance with the above purposes and this privacy statement.
You also consent to our transferring your information to countries or jurisdictions which do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK, if necessary for the above purposes and if you have consented. If we do make such a transfer, we will, if appropriate, put a contract in place to ensure your information is protected.

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies in your information corrected. Please contact us at the address given above.

Should your personal details change, please help us to keep your information up to date by contacting us at the address given above.

We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by our website. A link to an external website will always result in the opening of a new browser window so you should be clear that you are leaving content that is covered by the BFHU Privacy Policy.
