Your privacy matters to us.

Who we are

Give It Back Trust is a Cambridge charitable trust run by local business owners. When this policy says “we” or “us”, it means the Trust and its trustees.

What we collect

We only collect what we need. That may include:

• Your name, email address and phone number when you contact us or fill in a form.
• Details about your group, club or school when you apply for a grant, such as what you do and what the funding is for.
• Details about the person you nominate as an unsung hero, and why you’re nominating them.
• Details you give us when you offer to help or join as a business.
• Basic information about how people use this website. See our cookies page.

How we use it

We use your information to:

• Read and assess grant applications and nominations.
• Get back to you, answer your questions and keep you updated.
• Run our giving, events and the Christmas Table.
• Keep a record of the grants and support we have given.

We won’t sell your information, and we won’t use it for anything unrelated to the Trust’s work without asking you first.

Nominating someone else

If you nominate someone, please only share what you’re comfortable with them knowing you’ve told us. We treat nominations with care and won’t publish anyone’s name or story without their permission.

Who we share it with

Your information is seen by our trustees. We may also use trusted service providers to run this website, our forms and our email. Some of these providers may store information outside New Zealand. When that happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure it is protected in a way that is comparable to New Zealand law.

We will only share your information with anyone else if you agree, or if the law requires it.

Keeping it safe

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. We only keep it for as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, or as long as the law requires.

Seeing or correcting your information

You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it’s wrong. Just email us at team@giveitback.nz.

Questions or concerns

If you have a question or a concern about your privacy, please talk to us first at team@giveitback.nz. If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled it, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page.
