How We Use Personal Data

The Mary Rose uses the data collected for the following purposes:

  • to provide the necessary products and services we offer in order to comply with any contract between you and us;
  • which includes using data to improve and personalise your experiences, for example, through social media to show you adverts that may be of interest to you;
  • where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, i.e. to operate our charity/company and provide (including improving and personalising) the products and services we offer; 
  • for fundraising purposes, where we have a legitimate interest (examples include identifying the most efficient and effective way to interact with donors and prospective donors);
  • to send communications (including news, events and campaigns), where we have your consent to do so or where we have a legitimate interest;
  • where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Providing and improving our products. We use anonymised data, to analyse use of our sites in our legitimate interests in order to provide and improve the products and services we offer. This includes operating, and maintaining the performance of, the products and services, including developing new features, research and providing support. Examples of such uses include the following:

  • Providing the products/services. We use the data you’ve provided to carry out your transactions with us and to provide our products and services to you, as necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us. This includes sending relevant and necessary documentation and communications regarding the same.
  • Customer support. Your data may be used to help rectify an issue we have regarding the communications with you and any products or services that you have purchased, as required under the contract between you and us or if the particular issue doesn’t relate to a contract in ours and your legitimate interest, to ensure we provide you with a good service.
  • Product/service improvement. Your data may be used to help improve the products and services we provide, in our legitimate interest. You may be approached to be involved with surveys or feedback requests to help us understand what is needed to be improved.

Communications. We use data we collect to deliver and personalise our communications with you. For example, we may contact you by email or post to inform you when a membership is ending, in response to queries submitted to any of the sites, in regards to a purchase of a product or service, to inform you of any news or events about The Mary Rose ONLY. Additionally, there is the option to sign up for email subscriptions in which your data will only be used to send a newsletter to you regarding any updates about The Mary Rose.  Where you have previously purchased a product or service from us, we may send you communications about further products or services from us that we think may be of interest to you or updates about The Mary Rose.  

From September 2022 the Mary Rose Trust will operate under a new communications notice. While we continue to follow an opt-in approach for all email communications (referred to as ‘electronic direct marketing’ under the UK Data Protection Act) we will use ‘legitimate interest’ as the basis for our remaining direct marketing by post and phone. This means we will not seek opt-in consent to communicate with you by post or phone, and each communication will provide an opportunity to opt-out of future communications of this type. Supporters who have previously opted in (to any communication channel) will have their preferences respected as before. Where existing supporters re-engage with us, they will be presented with the new marketing permissions statement, and we will respect their latest instruction. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by emailing [email protected].

Opting Out. You can ask us to stop sending marketing messages at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” on the emails we send you or by contacting us at [email protected].  Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product / service purchase.

Fundraising and campaigns. As a charity reliant on fundraised income, it is in our legitimate interests to carry out much of our fundraising activity. We will seek your specific consent to:

  • Use your image
  • Send you electronic communications (by email and text)
  • Hold any potentially sensitive personal information about you (for example your access requirements)
  • If relevant, list your full name on donor acknowledgment boards and Roll of Honour both online and within the museum, and in our printed materials.

We have legal and contractual obligations to carry out the following activity:

  • To communicate with you about your membership and the impact your support has made
  • If you make a donation, we’ll use any personal information you give us to record the nature and amount of your gift, claim gift aid where you’ve told us you’re eligible and thank you for your gift.
  • Charity Commission rules require us to know where funds have come from, as well as any conditions attached to them. We follow a due diligence process which involves researching the financial soundness, credibility, reputation and ethical principles of donors who’ve made, or are likely to make, a significant donation to the Mary Rose Trust. As part of this process we’ll carry out research using publicly available information and professional resources.

We rely on our legitimate interests for the following activity:

  • We may invite you to support our work by making a donation, getting involved in fundraising activities or leaving a gift in your will. 
  • We may use the information we hold about you to identify the most efficient and effective way to interact with you. This means we may use your past interactions with us to determine what activities we believe will be of interest and relevance to you.
  • Occasionally, we may invite some members and supporters to attend special events to find out more about the ways in which donations, gifts and legacies can make a difference to specific projects and to our cause. We will adhere to the marketing preferences you have provided us with.
  • We may sometimes also record details from conversations and interactions we have with you, if we feel it is relevant to your relationship with us. If it potentially sensitive information, we promise to check with you first before recording it.
  • If you tell us you want to fundraise to support our cause, we’ll use the personal information you give us to record your plans and contact you to support your fundraising efforts.
  • Major donors - Where relevant, we may undertake research to help us understand more about you as an individual. This enables us to use our limited resources effectively, focus conversations we have with you, and provide you with an experience as a donor or potential donor, which is appropriate to you. The information we gather is concerned with your professional, personal and charitable interests and your likely capacity to support us. Where we do this we use; Information we may hold about you on our database (such as a record of events you have attended, conversations or correspondence we have had with you in the past); Publicly available information from reputable sources, where you might expect your information to be read by the public. This includes professional profiles (LinkedIn, corporate biographies etc.), resources such as Companies House, the Charity Commission and charity websites, media coverage and third party publications such as the Sunday Times Rich List.
  • Leaving a gift in your will - If you’ve told us that you have left a gift in your will, or are thinking about doing so, we will keep details of this. If we have a conversation or interaction with you (or with someone who contacts us in relation to your will, such as your solicitor), we’ll make a note of these throughout your relationship with us, as this helps to ensure we direct your gift as you wanted. Where a donor has passed away and we are in the process of receiving their legacy gift, we will process personal data of individuals involved in the estate administration for the purpose of ensuring our compliance with legal obligations in receiving and using the legacy gift for our charitable purposes. Access to this personal data is restricted and stored for as long as necessary to administer our legacy.
