Data Security

We have technical and physical safeguards in place to help protect your personal data. However, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure. We therefore urge you to exercise caution when conveying any personal data over the Internet. As when disclosing any information on the Internet, you should remain mindful that such information might be accessible by the public and, consequently, may be collected and used by others without your consent. You should also recognise that your use of the Internet and any other means of communication with us is solely at your own risk.

Cookies Policy

We use technologies such as pixels, tags, and JavaScript, alone or in conjunction with cookies, to gather information about the use of our websites and how people interact with our emails. When you visit our websites, we, or an authorized third party, may place a cookie on your device that collects information, including personal data, about your online activities over time and across different sites. Cookies allow us to track use, infer browsing preferences, and improve and customize your browsing experience.

We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

We also use pixels on our websites and in emails. For example, we may place a pixel in sales or marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email. We use these technologies to operate and improve our websites and marketing emails.

The following describes how we use different categories of cookies and similar technologies and your options for managing the data collection settings of these technologies:

Analytics: These cookies collect information in an anonymous manner about how visitors use our services and how our services perform. These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and help us understand which pages are the most popular and where visitors spend most of their time.

Personalisation: These cookies enable the services to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering choices you make or information you provide, what region you are in, your login information, or the pages you have viewed. They may be set by us or by third- party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Marketing: These cookies allow us and our advertisers to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may be used by us and our advertisers to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. These cookies may track whether you clicked on an advertisement in order to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and help us understand the efficacy of our advertising campaigns. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Re-marketing

We may use cookies to inform, optimise and serve online advertising. Mission Kitchen may implement display advertising (using Google Search Advertising and Display Network) and social media advertising (using Meta) and we may use Google Analytics and Meta's tracking pixel to implement a specific feature called re-marketing. Re-marketing is a feature of Google's AdWords service that allows us to deliver advert content that has been specifically targeted to a website user's interests and behaviour, based on pages visited and actions taken during previous visits to our website.

If you'd like more information about how re-marketing works in Google Analytics, please visit the following site: https://support.google.com/ana... can opt-out of having making your site activity available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) that is running on websites from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.

In particular, you may have limited access, features and/or functionality. Please also note that disabling cookies will not prevent you from potentially receiving generic, untargeted advertising.

Email Newsletter Data

As part of the registration process for membership enquiries and sign-ups for our email newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you information you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don't rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We will only ever send emails to contacts who want to receive them, and we comply with EU GHDPR regulations to make sure everyone on our mailing list wants to be there, has confirmed they are happy to receive our messages, and is able to change their mind an unsubscribe at any time.

We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us at: charlie@missionkitchen.org

Application Data

We use a third party provider called Google Forms to handle our application, survey and registration forms. We use the data collected in these forms to help us understand the levels of interest in our various projects and products.

When users register their details with us to make a membership enquiry we store their contact details along with customer information in our CRM system Hubspot. This is used by our sales team to maintain consistent records of communication with customers, and to store important customer information.

Users who register their interest through these forms will be added to a contact list, so that we can inform them when we have news about membership opportunities. We ask all respondents to opt-in to email communications for this reason.

When customers make a membership enquiry and provide their email address, we ask them to confirm that they are happy to be contacted via email with regard to their membership enquiry, and to receive occasional email notifications regarding our products and services. These users' details will be added to our email newsletter, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and they will have the option to unsubscribe from email communications at any time.

User contact data, including email addresses and phone numbers are stored securely within our CRM system Hubspot.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site (or any portion thereof)


Access To Your Personal Information

You are entitled to view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold. You have a right to remove any of your personal data permanently from our records.

If you want to do any of the above, please email your request to: charlie@missionkitchen.org.
