Please note that whilst this profiling activity is considered to be in our legitimate interests, information about your activity on our websites will only be collected and used for this purpose if you first consent to the setting of non-essential cookie categories via our cookie preference centre.</li> <li>conducting feedback surveys in relation to specific events or exhibitions</li> <li>processing visitor requests for disabled parking spaces at the Museum</li> <li>processing information about individuals involved in security or health and safety incidents during a visit to the Museum, or whilst at an event on our premises</li> <li>collecting names of participants involved in our citizen science activities, in order to ensure we have the necessary information to form a biological record</li> </ul> <p>The legitimate interest legal basis also covers the processing of personal data during some of the Museum’s business to business activities, for example:</p> <ul> <li>to review names and CVs of lead specialist individuals working at an organisation, in order to assess the expertise on offer from a supplier during the procurement process</li> <li>to contact press and media contacts</li> <li>to contact government contacts</li> <li>to facilitate management of our teacher advisory network</li> <li>to contact personal assistants of donors (or prospective donors) regarding matters such as whether the donor (or prospective donor) would like to attend a Museum event</li> <li>to contact prospective donors in their business capacity - for example to consider corporate partnership opportunities, or emailing contacts at philanthropic trusts or foundations</li> <li>to manage security requirements for business contacts visiting the Museum to meet with staff members </li> <li>to encourage collaboration between our science staff with other researchers, scientists and curators beyond the Museum for purposes including research, collections use, laboratory use, and publications. </li> </ul> <h3>Special category personal data and criminal convictions information</h3> <p>Special category data is defined at Article 9 GDPR as personal data revealing:</p> <ul> <li>racial or ethnic origin</li> <li>political opinions</li> <li>religious or philosophical beliefs</li> <li>trade union membership</li> <li>genetic data</li> <li>biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person</li> <li>data concerning health, or</li> <li>data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.</li> </ul> <p>Processing special category data will sometimes be necessary to ensure that the Museum can effectively provide a service to you, or so you can best enjoy what the Museum has to offer. For example, we may need information regarding accessibility requirements or dietary requirements so that you are able to access and enjoy our facilities and events. We may also need to process special category information, such as medical information, when recording and managing health and safety incidents.</p> <p><b>Criminal conviction data</b></p> <p>Article 10 GDPR covers processing in relation to criminal convictions and offences or related security measures. In addition, section 11(2) of the DPA 2018 specifically confirms that this includes personal data relating to the alleged commission of offences or proceedings for an offence committed or alleged to have been committed, including sentencing. This is collectively referred to as ‘criminal offence data’</p> <p>When the Museum carries out due diligence research in order to accept support and donations, we may access special category information or information relating to criminal offences or convictions.</p> <h3>Profiling</h3> <p>‘Profiling’ is the word that data protection regulations use to describe activities which involve the behavioural characteristics of individuals being analysed to find out about their preferences, predict their behaviour, make decisions about them or classify them into different groups or sectors.</p> <p>At the Museum, we carry out profiling activities because knowing more about our customers and supporters means that we can make sure we are communicating with you in the best possible way, with the most relevant information for your interests, and therefore giving you the best possible experience.</p> <p>The specific profiling activities we may carry out include:</p> <ul> <li>Predicting what products our shop customers might be interested in based on their online browsing history.</li> <li>Combining online and offline data to build up a picture of an individual’s interests.</li> <li>Segmenting our customers and supporters into different groups based on their likely interests, which are indicated by the nature of their interactions with the Museum.</li> </ul> <p>Different ‘lawful bases' are used for different parts of the profiling process. This is detailed as follows:</p> <ul> <li>If you opt into ‘performance’ cookies via our cookie preference centre, then consent is used to collect information about your activity on our websites.</li> <li>If you opt into ‘advertising’ cookies via our cookie preference centre, then consent is used to collect information about your activity on our websites and to provide you with tailored Museum advertising when browsing other websites.</li> <li>Information about website behaviours (collected via cookie consent) is combined with other information we know about you, for example ticket purchases, membership status and which part of the country you live in. This is used to decide which ‘segment’ best suits you, so that you can be provided with an experience of the Museum which is tailored to your likely interests and behaviours. This is based on the legitimate interest lawful basis as we consider that it is not only in the interests of our customers and supporters to have the best possible experience, but also allows us to increase engagement with the Museum’s mission to create advocates for the planet.</li> <li>If you are opted in to receive email marketing from the Museum, then the consent lawful basis is used to send you relevant email content based on the segment you have been assigned to.</li> <li>If you are a member, then the performance of a contract lawful basis is used to send you relevant email content based on the segment you have been assigned to, based on member communications being a membership benefit set out in the member T&Cs.</li> <li>From time to time, the Museum may carry out postal or telephone marketing campaigns which use information gained from profiling and segmentation to ensure that you are contacted with the most relevant content. This is based on the legitimate interest lawful basis as we consider that it is not only in the interests of our customers and supporters to have the best possible experience, but also allows us to increase engagement with the Museum’s mission to create advocates for the planet.</li> </ul> <p>We do not consider the profiling activities we carry out to be intrusive for the following reasons:<br> </p> <ul> <li>Our profiling and segmentation activities serve only to improve the relevance and quality of the interactions that our customers and supporters would otherwise be having with us anyway, rather than contacting you via additional channels which could be considered intrusive.</li> <li>We ensure that you maintain control by ensuring that cookies tracking website behaviour and providing tailored web content are only set with user consent, and that marketing emails are only sent where consent has been provided.</li> <li>The profiling that we carry out does not lead to automated decisions which could have legal or similarly significant effects on you.</li> <li>We will never use special category data as part of our profiling activity. </li> </ul></div></div></div></details><details class="border-2 border-grey-900 Accordion_accordion__mu0gI" id="accordion-667690ab25"><summary class="hover:underline cursor-pointer flex items-center gap-m p-s hover:bg-grey-200 "><svg class="shrink-0" width="20px" height="20px" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M19.3334 2.54699L17.4534 0.666992L10.0001 8.12033L2.54675 0.666992L0.666748 2.54699L8.12008 10.0003L0.666748 17.4537L2.54675 19.3337L10.0001 11.8803L17.4534 19.3337L19.3334 17.4537L11.8801 10.0003L19.3334 2.54699Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg><h3 class="font-headline font-semibold text-step-1 String-module_styledLinks__5gc3W">Visitor and customer analytics and prospect research</h3></summary><div class="p-s"><div class="layout-column flow "><div class="Text-module_text__bQKT9 " id="text-201b2a4902" data-gtm-component="text"><p>It is within the Museum's legitimate interests to hold and analyse your data to continue to improve our understanding of our target audiences and supporters.

This includes monitoring visitor numbers and tracking movement of people and collections of individuals around the Museum. (For more information see sections on cookies and Wi-Fi.)</p> <p>We carry out customer analytics to improve our understanding of our target audiences. We do this by analysing your commercial transactions (e.g. ticket and retail purchases) and activities (e.g. email interaction with the Museum, such as which emails you open and how often, use of Museum Wi-Fi including via <a target="_blank" href="/about-us/cookies.html" rel="noopener">cookies and similar technologies</a>).

This support is vital in helping us continue our pioneering scientific research, education and conservation. In order to make our fundraising activities as effective as possible we therefore undertake supporter research in order to appropriately engage with high value donors.</p> <p>Supporter research involves building up a holistic summary of an individual, their interests, suitability and likelihood they will donate and is fundamental to the ability to generate income through fundraising. Therefore, we may collect personal information to research potential supporters that have been identified through publicly available sources, personal referrals, recommendations from existing supporters, through their existing involvement with the Museum and occasionally from fully contracted independent researchers who work with us when we do not have the in-house capacity required.</p> <p>In addition to information that our supporters provide to us, we may use data collected from publicly available quantitative and qualitative information to assess an individual’s inclination to provide financial and non-financial support and their areas of philanthropic interest, to enable the formulation of an approach which the individual finds attractive.</p> <p>This may include:</p> <ul> <li>Financial information (including whether particular donations or funding appeals may be of interest)</li> <li>philanthropy and other giving (including donations to other organisations)</li> <li>other support (for example, details of volunteering roles)</li> <li>career highlights and other life achievements</li> <li>a photograph of you</li> <li>and information about areas of interest and extra-curricular activities.</li> </ul> <p>We use targeted internet searches and may search the following websites where relevant in order to obtain and maintain the accuracy of the data listed above:</p> <ul> <li>Archives from media outlets and archived press releases</li> <li>company websites</li> <li>Higher education institution websites</li> <li>business-related resources including Companies House, One Source, BoardEx and Fame</li> <li>Charity Commission and other internet sources for non-profits</li> <li>LinkedIn, to check business details</li> <li>public records databases</li> <li>published rich lists.</li> </ul> <p>We will not collect special category data without explicit consent from individuals, except in some specific instances, for example to record dietary or mobility requirements for attendance of an event.</p> <p>We review this information using manual processes to gain a holistic understanding of potential supporters’ ability and willingness to make donations and also to determine which particular donations or funding appeals may be of interest to them.</p> <p>This research helps us understand the background of the people who support us, and enables us to contact you in the most appropriate way, with the most relevant information. You can object to our carrying out this kind of activity for fundraising purposes by emailing <a href="mailto:development@nhm.ac.uk">development@nhm.ac.uk</a>, and we will review our basis for doing so in your case.</p> <p>Our teams foster long term relationships with our existing and potential donors. However, we are committed to only keeping data on individuals with whom we have an active relationship. We therefore remove all non essential data captured if the existing or potential donor has not interacted with us in the previous three years, or if we no longer plan to engage with the individual as a supporter in the future. In specific situations approved on a case-by-case basis, we may occasionally decide to re-engage with these contacts should supporter research or the individual themselves offer strong evidence that they would be receptive to hearing from us and we determine after careful consideration that the processing is lawful and within the individual’s reasonable expectations.</p> <p>We rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis for processing data on our potential supporters. We have entered an ambitious period of change for the Museum, as we embark on our new strategy to 2031. Over the next decade, we will secure the future of our collection, deepen engagement with multiple audiences, and revolutionise the study of natural history. Supporter research enables us to deliver successful fundraising initiatives and unleash the Museum’s potential to help create a future where people and the planet thrive. </p> <h4>Due diligence research</h4> <p>Properly screened and fully contracted independent professional researchers may carry out due diligence on individuals before we seek or accept major donations to ensure compliance with legislation, financial rules, international agreements and guidance from statutory bodies and to protect us from reputational risk, as required. These legal and regulatory obligations mean that if you object to analysis of your data for the supporter research purposes detailed above, we may still conduct some due diligence research that is required in order for us to accept donations from you.</p></div></div></div></details><details class="border-2 border-grey-900 Accordion_accordion__mu0gI" id="accordion-6b34430a81"><summary class="hover:underline cursor-pointer flex items-center gap-m p-s hover:bg-grey-200 "><svg class="shrink-0" width="20px" height="20px" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M19.3334 2.54699L17.4534 0.666992L10.0001 8.12033L2.54675 0.666992L0.666748 2.54699L8.12008 10.0003L0.666748 17.4537L2.54675 19.3337L10.0001 11.8803L17.4534 19.3337L19.3334 17.4537L11.8801 10.0003L19.3334 2.54699Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg><h3 class="font-headline font-semibold text-step-1 String-module_styledLinks__5gc3W">Who we share information with</h3></summary><div class="p-s"><div class="layout-column flow "><div class="Text-module_text__bQKT9 " id="text-36894e0357" data-gtm-component="text"><p>We will never sell your data.

Consent will require a positive affirmation from you, generally in the form of an opt-in such as ticking a box to signal your agreement.</p> <p>Subscribing to marketing communications is optional - you do not need to subscribe to marketing from us when you buy products, book tickets, donate or use any other of our services.</p> <p>If you sign-up to receive marketing newsletters from us then we will use your email address to send you news and information about the Museum that we feel may be of interest to you, as well as information about our events, activities, products and services.</p> <p>As indicated in our sign-up statement, we may also occasionally include third-party content from our corporate partners and other museums, if we think the content will be of interest to you. For example, this could include sending a discount offer for a product or service offered by one of our corporate partners, or some information about an exhibition which is on at another museum.</p> <p>The specific museums whose content we may include are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>The Royal Institution</li> <li>V&A</li> <li>Science Museum</li> <li>Kew Gardens</li> </ul> <p>For a list of our Corporate Partners whose content we may include, please visit the <a href="/support-us/our-supporters.html">Our supporters page</a>.</p> <p>While we may include selected content from these museums and Corporate Partners in the emails that we send you, we will never share your personal details with these third parties.</p> <p>If you are subscribed to receive marketing newsletters from Wildlife Photographer of the Year, these newsletters may include third party content that we think will be of interest. For example, links to content about diversity and inclusion in photography, short movies and webinars on conservation projects, and breaking news articles on wildlife. The inclusion of this content is not instigated by the third parties and has been independently chosen for inclusion by the Natural History Museum because it is related to wildlife photography and we think it will be of interest to you.</p> <p>After you subscribe to our services or give consent to receiving news and information from us, you can cancel your subscription, withdraw your consent to being contacted for these purposes, or change your preferred method of contact at any time. For example you can stop e-mail newsletters by clicking the 'Unsubscribe' link in the emails you receive. If you do withdraw your consent for or object to marketing, we will need to keep a record so that we can suppress future marketing activity to those contact details. Opting out of email marketing will, by default, mean opting out of post and phone communications as well, unless you inform us otherwise.</p> <p>You can also register with the Telephone, Mail and Fundraising Preference Services if you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us.</p> <p>Where we have your consent to send you marketing material by email, but are not aware of any interaction with the Museum (ie at least opening one of our emails and clicking on a link in it, or responding to a communication from Development and Communications staff) for more than three years, we will contact you to ask if you wish to renew your consent. If you do not, we will remove your details from our marketing mailing lists.</p></div></div></div></details><details class="border-2 border-grey-900 Accordion_accordion__mu0gI" id="accordion-0fa4013d86"><summary class="hover:underline cursor-pointer flex items-center gap-m p-s hover:bg-grey-200 "><svg class="shrink-0" width="20px" height="20px" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M19.3334 2.54699L17.4534 0.666992L10.0001 8.12033L2.54675 0.666992L0.666748 2.54699L8.12008 10.0003L0.666748 17.4537L2.54675 19.3337L10.0001 11.8803L17.4534 19.3337L19.3334 17.4537L11.8801 10.0003L19.3334 2.54699Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg><h3 class="font-headline font-semibold text-step-1 String-module_styledLinks__5gc3W">Complaints, enquiries and feedback</h3></summary><div class="p-s"><div class="layout-column flow "><div class="Text-module_text__bQKT9 " id="text-38d7a107e9" data-gtm-component="text"><p>The Museum strives to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information.
