As a membership organisation, AIM holds personal data that members provided to us when joining by completing either an online form or paper form. The membership form only asks for basic personal data about individuals, which includes name, address, email, phone number and brief details of members’ experience of volunteering or working with vulnerable adults.
AIM needs to know members’ basic personal data in order to provide them with ongoing communications and membership information. AIM will not collect any personal data from individuals that we do not need in order to provide this service. Under GDPR, members and interested individuals give their consent for communications from AIM when they join. AIM needs to remind individuals that they can unsubscribe from communications and cancel their membership at any time. Please email Andrew Creighton andrewaimmentalhealthorg@outlook.com should you wish to do this or for more information.
AIM encourages artists to send in a completed consent and background information online form when they e-mail an image file of artwork to be considered for inclusion in the World Mental Health Day Arts Calendar. The form only asks for basic personal data about individuals, which includes: name; gender (optional); age (optional); experience of mental health problems (optional); agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions; consent to allow AIM to distribute and publicise the artist’s image and to use it in exhibitions, in the calendar and on its web site, on Flickr, on social media and in promotions; background information about the piece of art; and evaluation of how the creative process has benefitted the artist. AIM needs to know artists’ basic personal data in order to notify them if their image has been chosen for inclusion in the calendar and to arrange for them to receive a hard copy. Background information may be used, together with selected images, on the AIM web site to add interest. Evaluation of how artists have been helped by the creative process may be used to influence potential donors/sponsors of the calendar and used on the AIM web site to add interest. Artists’ names will not be used on the AIM web site or shared with third parties.
Visitors to the AIM web site who choose to communicate via the contact form are asked for their name and e-mail address.
We may collect personal information from you when you donate to us and when we process Gift Aid claims. All our website financial transactions are handled through our payment services providers, PayPal and Stripe.
