This is the Privacy Notice for TRIBE Freedom Foundation, incorporated in England, with charity number 1172251, of LM 13.3.1, The Leathermarket, 11-13 Weston Street, London, SE1 3ER.
We are a UK charity on a mission to fight modern slavery. Our objectives include:
1. Increasing Public Awareness:
Communities are engaged to help build awareness of modern slavery across their wider networks and increase the level of public understanding.
2. Long-Term Survivor Support:
More survivors are holistically supported to help regain independence and overcome their previous exploitation, for as long as they need.
3. Preventing Modern Slavery:
Stakeholders, communities and individuals are equipped with the tools to better understand, identify and tackle the causes of modern slavery.
The TRIBE Survivor Financial Empowerment Hub was created to equip financial institutions and survivor support organisations with the tools needed to empower survivors of modern slavery. Together, we are helping to promote long-term financial well-being, freedom and stability.

6.1 The use of your personal data for the purposes set out above is lawful because one or more of the following applies:
6.1.1 where you have provided your personal data to us for the purposes of requesting information or requesting that we carry out a service for you, we will rely on the lawful basis of legitimate interests (the Charity’s or of a third party) or, where appropriate, we will collect your consent. Where we collected your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by emailing us at hello@wearetribe.co. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing of your information prior to your withdrawal of consent;
6.1.2 it is necessary for us to process your personal data to carry out our obligations under a contract entered into with you or to take steps you ask us to take prior to entering into a contract;
6.1.3 it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations;
6.1.4 where we are relying on the fact that a particular processing purpose is necessary for our legitimate interests, or the legitimate interests of a third party, you can obtain information about the balancing test we have undertaken by contacting our Privacy Officer via hello@wearetribe.co.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SAFE?
7.1 We understand the importance of the security of your personal data and take appropriate steps to safeguard it.
7.2 We implement adequate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks of our processing of your personal data. We require all those with access to personal data within the Charity to comply with organisational and technical measures that we have put in place to protect any personal data that we need to use. Where your personal data is stored electronically, it is held on a password-protected database to which employee access is restricted to key individuals on a ‘needs to know basis.’ Paper files are stored in locked cabinets to which employee access is restricted to key individuals on a ‘needs to know basis.’
7.3 We always ensure that authorised persons who have access to your information, which means only our staff, volunteers and contractors, are appropriately trained to ensure the security and integrity of your personal data and are subject to confidentiality undertaking.
7.4 While no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we strive to safeguard your personal data and mitigate any inherent risk as far as possible.
8. WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
8.1 The following categories of recipients may have access to your personal data:
8.1.1 Third parties who provide services for us, for example, the mailing house that prints our supporter appeals, our payroll provider and our HR and pensions advisers. We select our third-party service providers with care. We provide these third parties with only that data that is strictly necessary to provide the service and we have appropriate agreements in place that require them to comply with data protection laws and protect your personal data with the same care as we do.
8.1.2 Third parties if we run an event in conjunction with them. We will let you know how your data is used when you register for any event.
8.1.3 Analytics and search engine providers that help us to improve our website and its use.
8.1.4 Third parties in connection with or as a result of restructuring or reorganisation of our operations, for example, if we merge with another charity. In such an event, we will ensure your personal data and privacy rights will be protected by the third party.
8.2 Owing to matters such as financial or technical considerations, we may need to transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which are not subject to the same data protection regulations as apply in the UK. We may do this where data is stored on servers outside the EEA or where we use suppliers based outside the EEA. We meet our obligations under UK GDPR by ensuring that personal data has equivalent protection as if it were being held within the EEA. We do this by ensuring that there are appropriate safeguards in place with any third parties processing your data outside the EEA. This will usually be because the country either benefits from an adequacy determination for the UK GDPR purposes and/or we have entered into a Data Processing Agreement with the third party which contains EU standard contractual clauses recognised as a valid data transfer mechanism in the UK.
8.3 We may also disclose your personal data or may use external data if we are required to do so under any legal obligation where we otherwise have a lawful basis to do so (for example for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction).

Our services are aimed at individuals of working age and we do not proactively seek out children’s data but we appreciate that our supporters are of all ages. Whenever we collect personal data of children (under the age of 16 years), we will ask for consent from a parent or guardian.
11. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR?
11.1 We will hold your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the relevant processing purpose. By way of example, we hold records of donations you make for at least six years so we can fulfil our statutory obligations for tax purposes. Please contact the Privacy Officer at hello@wearetribe.co for further details.
11.2 Where we rely on your consent to contact you for direct marketing purposes, we will treat your consent as lasting only for as long as it is reasonable to do so. We will periodically ask you to renew your consent.
