WHAT YOU NEED
A privacy notice Business or charity registration details Terms covering donations, if you accept them
DONATIONS
State what donations are used for Whether they are refundable How recurring donations are cancelled Who receives the money
Donors ask these questions and the answers should be published.
REGISTRATION DETAILS
Display your registration number and legal name.
For a charity, this is a primary trust signal and may be required.
FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
Publishing accounts or a summary is good practice and builds confidence.
VOLUNTEER AND MEMBER DATA
Personal data like any other. Covered by your privacy notice.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE
Particularly of children. Obtain consent, and state your policy.
This is where community organisations most often have a gap.
PAYMENT METHOD
Use a proper gateway rather than publishing bank details on a public page.
Published bank details invite impersonation, which is a genuine and recurring problem for charities.
