Protection of personal data

Version 1.0. Effective January 1, 2023

About us

The purpose of this policy is to provide you with comprehensive and clear information about how we process your data, who we share it with, and what rights you have to protect your privacy. It is our duty to ensure that your data is processed safely and securely, and we take this responsibility very seriously. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will do our utmost to ensure that all data is handled in a responsible, secure, and transparent manner.

Your personal data will be collected and processed in accordance with the legislation of the European Union (General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR) and the Republic of Lithuania (Personal Data Protection Law). For more information on the protection of personal data, please contact us: info@respectprotectfulfill.org
 

Why do we process your personal data? 

Below you will find the information on what data we collect, for what purposes, on what basis, and for how long we keep it.
 

What legal basis do we use?

• Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law.
• Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, unless interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
• Consent: you have given clear consent for you to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
• Contract (if applicable): the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.

Information you provide to us directly and the purposes for which it is used.

• We are requesting your email address and a brief description of your situation to submit the application. At this stage, you do not need to provide full name information if it is not necessary.
• To help you, we need more information about your case. We adhere to the principle of minimization and will only request what is necessary. The information you provide may be sensitive under the GDPR, so we ask for your clear consent to process it. We will permanently delete the information after providing help, unless we are required to store it according to Lithuanian law.
• If you would like to support our organisation, you have the opportunity to do so. We store transaction information only for legal requirements and do not share it with any third parties. We use Stripe and Donorbox services for donations.
• If you wish to attend our online or offline events, we will only collect your first name, last name, email address, and social media account. After the events, we may send emails related to the event's theme. If you do not wish to receive these emails, you have the right to object (see “Rights”).
• To apply for our vacancy, you need to provide a CV and a motivation letter, as well as references and writing samples, if applicable. If we continue to work with you after reviewing your application, we will store your data for the required period in accordance with Lithuanian law. Otherwise, we will keep it for no more than 6 months.

Information we collect automatically and the purposes for which it is used.

• We use analytics services to improve our website and measure traffic. For instance, we use Google Analytics and only obtain statistical anonymised data about our website visits. We set up trackers taking into account the principle of minimization. We cannot use this data to identify you personally, and we do not need to do so for our stated purpose. Information about the collection of this data can be found in Google Privacy Policy.

Generalized anonymized information

• We can use anonymized information, such as generalized facts, case descriptions with names replaced, and other data, for:
  • Publishing on the website, in social networks
  • Disclosure to donors
  • Disclosure to the media

Child Privacy

Due to the nature of our organization, we may receive personal data of children when their legal representatives make a request or give their consent. In cases where it is not possible to obtain such consent, we may process the personal information of that child in the context of preventive or counselling services offered directly to the child, in accordance with Recital 38 of the GDPR.

We do not use children's data for marketing or analytical purposes.
