Depending on how you interact with the site, NM Fundraising may collect your name, email address, phone number, organisation details, and any information you choose to include in an enquiry.
Basic technical information may also be collected automatically by the hosting and delivery systems needed to make the site available, such as IP address, browser type and limited diagnostic information.
The site may also collect user analytics data relating to how visitors use the website, but only for site management, performance monitoring, and improvement purposes.
How Information Is Used

Lawful Basis
Where UK data protection law applies, NM Fundraising generally relies on legitimate interests to respond to business enquiries and manage professional relationships. If information is provided in order to request a service or take steps toward an agreement, processing may also be necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
How Long Information Is Kept
Enquiry information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for correspondence, record keeping, and any follow-up work. Information that is no longer needed is deleted or securely disposed of.
Sharing Information
Information may be shared only where reasonably necessary with professional service providers who help operate the website or business, or where disclosure is required by law.
