Privacy Notice

Who is responsible for your data

Asociación Sotogrande Cat Care Society (SoCCS), NIF G72340862, registered in the Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucía nº 11-1-13252, is the controller of the personal data processed through this website, under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD). You can reach us at contact@soccs.charity.

What we collect and why

We only receive personal data when you send it to us:

• Contact form and email. Your name, email address, your phone number if you choose to give it, and your message. We use them to reply to you and to follow up on anything you tell us about, such as a colony. The legal basis is your request.
• Volunteer form. The same details, plus the jobs you ticked and how much time you can give. We use them to arrange volunteering with you. The legal basis is your request, and then the steps needed to organise your volunteering.
• Donations. If you give through Donorbox or Teaming, they process your payment under their own privacy notices and pass us your name, email address and the amount, so we can record and thank you for your gift. If you give by bank transfer, our bank shows us your name and the amount. The legal bases are our legal and accounting obligations and our legitimate interest in thanking supporters.

This website has no user accounts and does not store your form messages: the form sends them to our inbox by email.

How long we keep it

• Enquiry emails and form messages: until your enquiry is dealt with, and no longer than 12 months after our last contact with you.
• Volunteer details: while you volunteer with us, and up to 12 months after you stop.
• Donation records: for as long as tax and accounting law requires.
• Your cookie choice: 6 months (see the Cookie Notice).

Who sees it

We never sell your data or share it for marketing. Only the volunteers who deal with your message see it, together with the providers that make this website work:

• Cloudflare hosts this website, delivers form messages to our inbox and runs Cloudflare Turnstile, the check that keeps spam out of our forms. To do this it processes technical details of your browser and connection, such as your IP address, and does not use them for advertising.
• Donorbox provides the donation form on our Donate page, and Teaming, Amazon and our bank handle the other ways to give, each under its own privacy notice.
• Amazon and Unsplash serve some of the images on this site, so your browser connects to them to load those pictures.
• Google measures visits through Google Analytics, only on soccs.charity and only if you accept analytics cookies. Analytics data is held in our Google Analytics account and never used for advertising.

Transfers outside Europe

Cloudflare and Google are based in the United States. Where your data reaches them, the transfer is covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which both are certified, or by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Children

This website is not aimed at children under 14, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data.

Your rights

• You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to move it, or to limit or object to how we use it, by emailing contact@soccs.charity.
• Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
• If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, at www.aepd.es.

Changes to this notice

We’ll update this notice whenever the way we handle personal data changes. The date at the top shows the current version.
