4. Consent

We process the information you submit through the contact form on the basis of your consent, which you give by ticking the consent box before submitting. You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to nhstamt@gmail.com; withdrawal does not affect processing done before it. Where the law requires or permits us to keep certain records (such as donation records), we process that data for those legitimate uses.

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Contact messages are deleted when no longer needed or when you ask us to erase them. Donation records are kept for the period required under tax law.

7. How we protect it

The website uses HTTPS encryption. Submitted data is stored in a protected database, accessible only to authorised Trust staff through password-protected accounts, and uploaded files are kept outside the public web folder. No method is completely secure, but we take reasonable security safeguards and will act promptly on any data breach as required by law.
