Categories of data / user types

MailChimp manages our email newsletters and contact database. MailChimp stores the personal information you provide and their privacy policy can be found on their website at https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/, including details of information they collect for analytics purposes.

MyTurn provides the online library of things system that you can use to browse our inventory, reserve items and process transactions. MyTurn also stores the personal information you provide when you create an account, necessary for us to manage the service. This includes your address, for security purposes, and a phone number and email if we need to contact you about your hire. If you wish, you can also store your payment card details on their platform, but this is not necessary to use the service. MyTurn’s privacy policy can be found on their website at https://myturn.com/privacy/

Card/contactless payment

We use two platforms for taking electronic payments. Stripe is integrated with MyTurn (privacy policy here) and we use Square for in-person contactless or card payments (privacy policy here).

Volunteers and Staff

Google Workspace provides our cloud-based file storage. We store information about our staff and volunteers necessary to manage the organisation safely and effectively. The personal information we store in this respect will vary depending on your role. For more on Google Workspace’s privacy, see this link. Only authorised volunteers and staff can see and edit the information stored in Google Workspace. Only managers and Trustees have access to personal data.

We also manage our volunteer data such as contact details, logging volunteer hours etc using Monday.com. Access to this platform is restricted tightly to only include those staff members and volunteers with responsibility for managing volunteers. Monday.com have a “trust centre” which explains in more detail how they manage our data.
