This Privacy Policy provides information about how we process personal information through Quipo.com. By visiting our website or using any of our services, you agree to your personal information being used and disclosed in the manner set out in this Policy. You do not have to provide your personal information to us, but if you do not provide certain information we will only be able to provide limited services to you.

The personal information that we collect

When you use Quipo.com, as is the case with most websites, certain limited information (such as your browser type and IP address) will be collected by us automatically.

We will also will collect and store certain personal and private information as follows:

Creating a Quipo account

We will collect basic contact information about you to set up your account you so you can make donations or raise funds. This will include your name, address and email address. We will also ask you to register a username and password so you can gain secure access to your account in the future.

Alternatively you may authorise us to collect your basic personal details from a secure online source (e.g. Google, Facebook, PayPal or a sponsor charity) to which you have already provided this information.

If you choose to login via Facebook we will obtain access to your public profile information and email address. We will use this information to allow you to login and populate our records about you. If you give us permission (via Facebook’s preference settings) we may also obtain access to your friend list; we will only use this to see if people on your friends list are also using our website and as set out in How we use personal information below.

Making a donation through Quipo.com

To enable us to process donations, we will collect basic payment information.

Raising funds through Quipo.com

We will use the details you provided when you set up your account to create your fundraising page. We will also collect details of the charity or not-for-profit that you are supporting, or the details for your Sponsor. Where applicable, we will ask you to provide details of how, where and when you are intending to fundraise and/or the charity you are supporting by carrying out the fundraising.

Where you create an Event Page we will also collect your title (if you choose to provide it),name, address, business name and tax ID date of birth, telephone number and personal bank account details.

Information about others

You may provide us with information about others (or authorise us to collect this information on your behalf from your social networks or your email contacts list) for example:

so we can help you tell your friends and family about an Event Page you are running or charity fundraising you are carrying out; or
if you start fundraising for, or in the memory or in celebration of, another person

You must ensure that they are happy and have agreed to you providing us with their information. Where required by local laws, we would advise you to keep a record of their agreement and provide them with a copy of, or link to, this Policy. This is especially the case if you provide us with sensitive information about them (e.g. a reference to an illness or health condition).

You should also only contact individuals via Quipo.com who you know would be happy to hear from you and must not use our services to send unsolicited 'spam' messages.

If you create an Event Page for a club, organisation, body or association which is managed by someone other than yourself, you must ensure that the manager(s) of that club, organisation etc. agrees to your fundraising (e.g. you are a member of a charity organisation and want to raise funds for a new Cause - you must seek the agreement of the organisational committee).

How we use personal information

We use the personal information collected from users for a number of purposes:

administering donations made;
personalising the look and feel of Quipo.com (as well as our communications with users) to fit personal preferences which you have told us about or which we have inferred from your usage of our website (such as donation history, and fundraising or charity page cares/likes, both on our website and, where you have given us permission, via social networks(see also the Cookies and Analytics sections for more information) or derived from market research;
providing users with fundraising related news stories, tips and competitions, updates on campaigns, fundraising, comments on website content, details of similar or popular fundraising pages, campaigns, events or Event pages and messages of support;
providing users with information on how others are using our website, including: (i) their friends (or people they are connected with) on social networks; and/or (ii) other people which we have noticed the user is connected with via service usage (this uses our functionality which profiles factors including the user's connections, trends and donation history). For example if you and one of your Facebook friends have logged in through Facebook and are both using our site we might let your friend know that you are fundraising via our site. We will only do this where we have appropriate permissions or you have provided appropriate permissions to the social network as are required by privacy and data protection laws;
to help us prevent fraud associated with online payments;
where a user sets up an Event Page, to carry out bank account verification and identity checking, including with a credit reference agency;
providing information to fundraisers to let them know about contributions made to their fundraising page;
allowing charities, not-for-profits and Event Page creators who are registered with us to have visibility of the donations made to them so they can track the total donations (in an anonymous form, unless the donor provides appropriate permissions);
allowing charities and not-for-profits who are registered with us to understand which fundraisers within Quipo.com are fundraising for their benefit and (where appropriate) display information on their own websites about published fundraising activities and otherwise communicate with fundraisers in relation to that fundraising;
allowing other sites to promote public fundraising activities from Quipo.com, to support giving to those and other activities associated them;
where the donor provides appropriate permissions, to allow fundraisers, charities, not-for-profits and Event Page creators to: (i) provide that donor with more details about their activities; and/or (ii) contact individual donors to pass on a thank you message;
allowing companies to review their employees' participation in activities, where employees have agreed to them doing so;
providing service update emails regarding the Quipo service and your specific account; and
improving the service we offer - for example you may be asked to complete one of our online user satisfaction surveys.

We understand that many donors like to make donations anonymously. We respect this and will not publicly display your name on donations you have made on our site unless we have your permission to do so. However, the creator of a fundraising page you donate to will be provided with your name (but not your email address, unless you have provided your permission for us to do so). We require all fundraising page creators to keep this information safe and secure.

We do not provide any personal information to a charity, not-for-profit or Event Page creator relating to your donation unless we have your permission to do so (or where we are required to do so by applicable law).

If you allow us to pass on your details to a fundraiser, charity, not-for-profit or Event Page creator, you may receive further correspondence from them including emails telling you more about their cause and to thank you for your donation. If you do not allow us to pass on your details to them for these purposes you will be anonymous to them (except for a fundraising page creator, as above) and they will not be able to contact you in this way. Any further correspondence you receive from them will not be governed by this Policy; it will be governed by their privacy policies (if applicable) and you may ask them to stop communicating with you by contacting them in accordance with the terms of their privacy policy (if applicable) and the relevant laws.

We will only use your information where we have obtained appropriate permissions from you (e.g. with tick boxes) and will only use the information in accordance with this Policy, or where it is required and authorised by law.
