Privacy Statement
Personal Information
Ocean Stars Trust would be delighted to have your contact details so that we can inform you of news, events and fund raising. We should also like to send you our newsletters and gift catalogue. Occasionally we may offer you the opportunity to make a donation. This is all we will do and so, as you will see, we only require the minimum of information.
By giving us your details you are inviting us to contact you. Please rest assured that we will not pass your details on to any one else. While no computer system's security can be guaranteed, we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Mailing list removal
If you are on our mailing list and no longer wish to hear from us, simply reply to an email and ask to "Opt Out". Please ensure you give us the same name and email address we use to contact you.
Financial Information
To make a donation you may visit our page on Just Giving. If you decide to donate via Just Giving you are entering your information into their site; Ocean Stars Trust will never receive you financial details. Before using Just Giving's service please review their privacy policy. We are very happy with their service but recommend you decide for yourself.
Personal information you provide for Gift Aid purposes will only be shared with the HMRC.
