This document sets out to explain why we retain your information and how we manage, store and protect it.
Staying in touch with you
We aim to build links with our global community of Aloysians and offer a range of business and social events and class reunions, as well as ways to update you about the College today through publications, sent both digitally and by post. Your involvement in the College can help provide opportunities for current pupils through our Careers Service.
Raising funds for the College
In addition to the above, the Development Office is responsible for raising funds towards Bursaries, capital projects, and other philanthropic initiatives which benefit the College and its pupils. We undertake in-house research to prepare for meetings using publicly available information from third party sources such as newspapers, social media, company registers, public bodies and the internet and to identify individuals who may be willing to support.
We may engage the services of a trusted external specialist organisation from time to time to assist us in analysing our data and/or conduct research using publicly available sources to identify prospective donors. This research helps us to understand more about potential donors so we can focus conversations around fundraising in the most effective way. You may opt out of this type of data screening at any time. Our contact details are listed in section 7 ‘Contacting Us’.
1. Why we collect your information
Through better understanding of our Aloysian community, we can tailor our communications and events to be more relevant for you depending on your chosen communication preferences, where you live, your occupation or if you are retired. Some examples of why we process your data and may contact you are as follows:

To invite you to meetings, events or reunions
To keep you updated on College news through publications or e-newsletters
To ask for your help as a mentor or volunteer e.g., for reunions, events or for our Careers Office
To ensure we meet requirements in terms of record-keeping, e.g., Gift Aid Declarations

Any transfers of data will be done securely and in accordance with best practice and in compliance with the relevant data protection legislation.
