This page explains when and why Cancer Research UK may share personal information with other organisations.
We sometimes work with other organisations to raise money together. If we do, we may share your information with them. This helps us make sure you don’t get contacted by both groups, lets us see how well our campaign is doing, and helps us conduct due diligence when someone gives a large donation. Some examples of these organisations are:
The American Friends of Cancer Research UK
Channel 4 (for Stand Up to Cancer)
The Francis Crick Institute
Manchester University
The Christie Hospital
We always check that sharing your information is fair and necessary, and we try to let you know when we collect your data that it might be shared. We will never sell or rent your personal information to other companies for marketing.
We may also share your information with other organisations for the reasons explained in this policy. These organisations might include:
Business partners, suppliers and contractors who help us by handling information for us
Advertisers, social media platforms and advertising networks
Companies that help us understand how people use our website, like search engines and analytics providers
IT service providers who support our systems
We may also share your information if the law says we must, or if we need to protect Cancer Research UK, our staff, visitors, or others. This could include sharing with the police, legal advisors or regulators. We may also share your information if:
We sell or buy part of our organisation, and need to share details with the buyer or seller
Another organisation takes over most of our work or assets — your information may be part of what’s passed on
