1. Who we are
Our website address is: http://first100years.org.uk.

The Next 100 Years is supported by the charity Spark21 that operates throughout the UK to ensure a strong and equal future for all women in the legal profession by raising awareness about their history and inspiring future generations of female lawyers. The Next 100 Years is comprised of both a charity and a history project. In this policy wherever you see the words ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’, it refers to both our charity and our history project.

Our history project is wholly owned and controlled by our charity. Any information we collect may be used by both our entities. Our charity is Spark 21, a charity founded to celebrate, inform and inspire future generations of women in the professions. (Registered Charity Number 1167825). The charity’s various projects include its ownership and management of the pioneering “Next 100 Years of Women (2014-2019): Women in Law”​ campaign to mark 100 years since women have joined the professions, including law.
The objectives of Spark21 are for the public benefit to:
advance education in the subject of women in the legal and other professions;
promote equality and diversity and in particular the elimination of discrimination on the ground of gender;
advance the arts, in particular but without limitation by commissioning, establishing, maintaining, publishing and performing (as applicable) works of art.

2. Where do we collect information from?
We collect information in the following ways:
Information you give us. The Next 100 Years may obtain personal information from you when, for example, you complete an online form to participate on a programme, register with us for a mailing list, apply to become a volunteer, take part in an event or make a donation.
Information from Third Parties. We may also receive information about you from independent third parties, such as fundraising sites like Just Giving or Virgin Money Giving or event organisers such as the London Marathon. We will only receive information from third parties in this way if you have given your consent for your information to be passed on to us. You should check their privacy policy when you provide your information to understand how they will process your information. Once we have obtained this information from the third party it will be covered by our privacy policy as well as by the originating third party.
Information we get from your use of our website and services. We collect information about the services you use and how you use them, like when you watch a video on YouTube, visit our websites or view and interact with our ads and content.
Information in the public domain. We may obtain some information from publicly available sources such as Companies House, newspaper articles or open postings on social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

3. What information do we collect?
The types of personal information that The Next 100 Years collects may include:
Your title, name, gender and date of birth;
Your contact details (address, email, phone number and social media contact details);
Family and spouse/partner details, relationships to other supporters;
Your professional activities and employment details;
Current interests and activities;
Gift aid status and records of donations;
Contact preferences;
Information about your wealth;
Media articles about you;
Your IP address, location, browser type and information on how you interact on our website;
Your bank or credit card details in line with payment card industry standards; and,
Any other information provided by yourself at the request of The Next 100 Years.
Where appropriate we may also ask your interests and motivation for supporting The Next 100 Years, we will never make this question mandatory, and only want to know the answer if you are comfortable providing us with that information.

In some limited circumstances, the personal information that The Next 100 Years collects may include information that is considered “sensitive data”. This may include personal information regarding racial or ethnic origins, political opinions, religious beliefs, health and also information concerning criminal offences. Where this information is collected we will tell you so you know why it is needed.

If you are under 13 you should ask permission of a parent or guardian before sending personal or sensitive information to anyone online.

4. What might we do with your information?
If you have applied for one of The Next 100 Years programmes, The Next 100 Years will use your information to run, fund, develop and evaluate The Next 100 Years’ programmes. If you support us, for example make a donation, volunteer, register to fundraise, sign up for an event we will mainly use your information to:

Provide you with the services, products or information that you asked for, as well as information about other services, products or information we think might interest you where you have consented to being contacted;
Administer your donation or support your fundraising, including processing Gift Aid;
Send you surveys, and for market research;
Invite you to events;
Keep a record of your relationship with us and record the contact we have with you; and,
Ensure we know how you prefer to be contacted.
Tools may be used to improve the effectiveness of The Next 100 Years’s communications with you, including tracking whether you open the emails we send you and which links you click within a message.

We may also use personal information to carry out due diligence so that we are fundraising in accordance within the law, the code of fundraising practice (http://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/) and our internal policies and procedures.

Legitimate interests. The law allows personal data to be collected and used by an organisation if it is necessary for the legitimate business interest of an organisation. In broad terms, our ‘legitimate interests’ means our interests in being able to run The Next 100 Years via our charitable entity Spark21 effectively in pursuit of our objectives, provided that what the information is used for is fair and does not unduly impact the rights of the individual concerned.

The following are some examples of when and why we would use this approach in our work:
Direct marketing. We will send postal marketing and fundraising requests which further the aims and objectives of The Next 100 Years and don’t unduly impact the rights of the individual.
Profiling and analysing information. We carry out limited profiling and research to help us understand our donors and potential donors, including gathering information from publicly available resources to give an insight into philanthropic interests and ability to support The Next 100 Years. (See below for more details)
Profiling and analysing information of our supporters. In order to tailor what type and level of support we ask you for, we may analyse personal information we collect about you including how you have engaged with us previously, demographic information, measures of affluence, philanthropic interests and networks.

We may also use information in the public domain, for example listed Directorships or typical earnings in a given area.

In some instances, we may use third party wealth screening companies or insight companies to provide us with general information about you (please refer to section 6 for further information on data shared with third parties).

You can opt out of your data being used for profiling and wealth screening techniques by contacting the Data Protection Officer.
