Cross-border Privacy

When we share data, it may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country you live in – such as Australia, where a research company aggregates data and compares it to other charities in the APAC region.

Rest assured, where we disclose personal data to a third party in another country, we put safeguards in place to ensure your personal data remains protected.
