You can visit our website without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. If you choose to provide us with any information by which you can be identified, then you can be assured that it will only be processed in accordance with this privacy statement.

Information we may collect and how we will use it

Butterfly Conservation and Butterfly Conservation Trading Ltd use information we collect to help us with understanding more about how our site is used and to be able to send you communications that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise.  We may collect information about you from forms you fill in on our website, if you contact us, if you participate in surveys or if you make a donation or join Butterfly Conservation as a member. Your information will only be shared when there is a specific purpose bound by contract, for example to our partner mailing house to send membership renewals or magazines etc.  Use of your data for this purpose is strictly controlled and you will only ever be sent information from Butterfly Conservation or Butterfly Conservation Trading Ltd subject to legal basis.

When you are on the website and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Butterfly Conservation and Butterfly Conservation Trading Ltd alone, unless explicitly stated otherwise, for example, a partner company WorldPay.  Butterfly Conservation and Butterfly Conservation Trading Ltd will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe the law requires it.

When you are using our secure online donation/ membership pages you are going through to WorldPay, and the information you give, such as credit card number and contact information, is provided so that the transaction can take place.

If you indicate that you are interested in receiving regular information about Butterfly Conservation or Butterfly Conservation Trading Ltd’s activities, we will send you communications either electronically or by post. In addition, we may send you information from related third parties that we feel may be of interest to you when you have provided informed consent.

When you give us personal information you can be confident that we will ensure its use will be restricted to Butterfly Conservation and Butterfly Conservation Trading Ltd unless we say otherwise. If you give us your name and address you may be mailed with information about our work if you have provided informed consent. We are only able to email you with the information you have consented to receive. We will not pass your email address to a third party without your express permission.
