This policy exists so that you feel confident about the privacy and security of your personal information. We take protecting your privacy very seriously and will always take all reasonable steps within our power to make sure your information is safe. By providing us with your personal information, you consent to the collection and use of any information you provide in accordance with this privacy policy.

The Swallowtail and Birdwing Butterfly Trust holds personal data to enable us to distribute the Papilio! Newsletter and to correspond with you for the purpose of managing and promoting the Trust’s activities. The data we hold are generally provided voluntarily by supporters who have signed up through our website to receive information from us, but occasionally also where we have legitimate interest in keeping a recipient informed about our work.
The Trust uses the data it holds for the following reasons:
- For specific and private communication with supporters and like-minded organisations, regarding the charitable and trading activities of the Trust and any associated donations or payments.
- To distribute the publications of the Trust electronically.
- To advise or remind supporters and like-minded organisations of projects, campaigns, activities, events and meetings through anonymised Papilio! Newsletter Group emails.
All supporters and correspondents have the right to review their own details as recorded, to have those details corrected if they are wrong and to have them removed from the database if they so wish. Information about personal details as held on the Trust’s database may be acquired by contacting info@sbbt.org.uk, or by writing to Swallowtail and Birdwing Butterfly Trust, c/o Hines, Harvey, Woods; Queens Head House, The Street, Acle, Norwich NR13 3DY. At the latest, a response will be sent within 28 days of receiving such a request.
The Trust’s email and newsletter distribution list is held in our account on the Mailchimp software platform. While we keep this decision under review, we currently believe this to be a secure and professional platform that protects our organisation and its supporters. Recipients of our communications through Mailchimp are able to unsubscribe at any time.
