You will receive an email requesting confirmation of whether you wish to log in to your account and make donations via the Platform. You are free to choose whether to log in and use your WestGives account. Upon making a donation to your chosen charity, the Foundation may, after assessing and approving the chosen charity, match your contribution.
Should you log in to your account and make a donation, your personal data will be processed for a range of purposes in connection with the management and administration of the WestGives Platform, including:
•
to establish your eligibility to make donations via the Platform:
•
to provide you with log-in credentials;
•
to create and manage your user account;
•
to process and report upon your donation. It is important that West is notified of your donation and its size, so that we can match your contribution via a donation made by the Foundation;
•
to implement payroll giving, if applicable;
•
to provide client services and related assistance;
•
if you are a contributor to any third-party donor advised foundations that form part of the WestGives Platform, to facilitate your donation transactions and to prepare tax information slips or other acknowledgments;
•
to carry out other purposes which are disclosed to you and to which you consent or are permitted or required by applicable law.
For additional information please read (https://west.benevity.org/privacy).
5. What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?Where we process your personal data so that you may receive an email allowing you to log in for a WestGives account, we do so on the basis of our legitimate interest in managing and operating the WestGives Platform.
Where you log in and use your WestGives account and the Platform, your personal data will be processed either:
•
upon the basis that you have provided consent to process your personal data for one or more specific purposes, or
•
upon the basis of a legitimate interest pursued by West or a third party in administering and managing the WestGives donations Platform.
When you provided your consent to the processing of your personal data, you can withdraw such consent at any time by writing to integrity@westpharm.com.
6. Who has access to your personal data? Is data transferred outside the EEA?Your personal data will be shared with Benevity, whose operations are based in Canada which has been deemed to have adequate safeguards for the protection of personal information by the European Commission and the UK.
Benevity may also transfer your personal data to its third-party providers in third countries such as the United States. Under the terms of our agreement, Benevity is required to implement European Commission or any other approved standard contractual clauses in respect of any international transfer of personal data relating to an EEA or UK based employee of West, where that personal data is transferred outside of the EEA or the UK. In addition, Benevity is required to enter into agreements with any sub-contractors which place obligations of the same standard upon those sub-contractors.
Limited information about each donation you make will be shared with one approved individual at the Foundation, to assess your chosen charity and determine charitable status before matching your donation.
7. How long is your personal data retained?Your personal data will be retained by West for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is collected and further processed, except to the extent required or prohibited by law. As a rule, your personal data is stored during your employment and for a period of up to seven years after the end of your employment agreement, depending on the category of data and the reason for maintaining it.
8. What are your rights?You may have a right of access to and rectification of your personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Regulations.
Under certain circumstances, you may ask for your personal data to be erased or restrict access to your personal data. In certain cases, West may however refuse to erase or restrict access to your data, for instance for the introduction, execution or in defense of legal claims.
You may also object to the processing of your data, but only as regards data processed based on West’s legitimate purposes.
