Security of information
Vision for Asia’s information is held on two external hard drives The Data Protection Manager has one and the Chair has the other. Email information is also held by these two and the Charity’s Treasurer. In certain circumstances information of supporters will be held by project managers (Child sponsorship as an example) where they are in regular contact with supporters and again this information will be held on a Vision for Asia external hard drive which remains the property of the charity.
Sharing of information
Vision for Asia does not share personal information with other organisations for their benefit. Personal information is used only in connection with the work that we do as a charity.
