This page explains how we use personal information if you work with Cancer Research UK in a professional capacity, for example as a supplier, partner, Celebrity Ambassador or health professional.
The following details may be obtained from publicly available sources. • Your name • Your contact details (your work email address, office address and other company details) • Details relating to your cancer experience • Your image (available online) • Your online/social media content
Cancer Research UK sometimes works with Celebrity Ambassadors to help support our mission. As part of the Ambassador Programme governance process, we may carry out due diligence before, and where appropriate, during the partnership (for example, during longer-term relationships). As with prospective new donors, we will review publicly available information, using specialist third-party providers to help us assess any reputational, safeguarding or organisational risk to Cancer Research UK.
We collect this information when we engage with you or your organisation. We may either find these details online or as part of a referral from another organisation. If you are a health professional, we may find these details on NHS websites. For Celebrity Ambassadors, we may use specialist third-party providers to provide us with publicly available information about you. We may also receive personal data relating to you as a Celebrity Ambassador from your representatives and agents in the course of working with Cancer Research UK.
If you are an employee of a supplier or partner, we use this to enable Cancer Research UK to set up the partner or supplier on our internal systems. This would include sharing your details with teams internally to conduct due diligence. If you are a health professional, your information will be used to send you relevant information about our work, how you can support your local community, training opportunities for you and your team or other informational messages that Cancer Research UK thinks would be helpful for you. If you are a Celebrity Ambassador, we will use your information to look at any risk to Cancer Research UK, either reputational, organisational or related to safeguarding. We will use other details you provide to us to support our partnership.
