Sharing your data with partners

If we plan to do this we will make it clear on the sign up form.
Sharing your data with other members
As a Network it is important to be able to connect in order to support each other. For Arukah Network members, when you sign up for membership you will be sent an email inviting you to log in to our Membership Directory, which is provided through My Charity Suite. Here you can manage all the data we hold on you. Here your name and email address will be automatically visible to other members who have access to the directory. You can change this and make more or less of your personal information visible in the privacy settings on the Members Directory.
There are a number of Arukah Network WhatsApp groups managed by Network members, which use mobile phone numbers for access. We won’t add you to these groups without your permission and you are free to remove yourself from any WhatsApp groups at any time.
How do we store your data?
Arukah Network securely stores your data using CharitySuite. Arukah Network will store your personal data for as long as is relevant to the purposes above. Once this is no longer relevant your data will be deleted from our CharitySuite Database.
