CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION


Personal information can identify a person, such as name, address, telephone number, and email address. We strive for accurate, respectful, and relevant communication with our constituents. We occasionally exchange mailing addresses with select non-profit groups. We will not sell, rent or share your email address or telephone number. If you would like to correct or update your personal information, modify your mailing preferences, or do not wish to participate in mailing address exchange activities, don't hesitate to get in touch with us on our website https://www.one-smile.org Please also understand that marketing campaigns are scheduled in advance, so while we will remove you from the mailing list promptly, you may still receive materials from campaigns that were in process before your request to be removed for up to 90 days. We respect your time and attention by controlling the frequency of our emails. However, you may modify your email preferences at any time. Each email contains an easy, automated way to change your expressed interests or cease receiving emails from us altogether. If you want to modify your preferences, follow the instructions at the end of any email you receive, contact us directly, or visit your online account page https://www.one-smile.org.

THIRD-PARTY REQUESTS TO CHANGE DATA


Except in exceptional circumstances (as outlined in this process), requests to change user information, including changes to direct debits, standing orders, or any other kind of donation, can only be authorized by the user. We can only take instructions from a third party with the user's express consent or on evidence of the relevant power of attorney. This safeguards the interests of the user with whom we have a relationship. A request by a third party to remove a user from our mailing list or change mailing preferences may be considered exceptionally if we are convinced the third party is acting in the user's best interests. This may be a judgment based on the user's history of giving, any unusual changes in the level of their giving or frequency of giving, and any communication we have had with the user regarding their gifts or mailing preferences. Any direct communication from the user (verbal or written) which gives concern that the user may lack the capacity to make a sound decision and/or judgment could be taken as support on this. In this context, our telemarketing agencies who call on our behalf in fundraising campaigns record conversations with prospective users, and where there is a concern relating to mental capacity, these recordings could be used by One Smile at a Time for final decision-making.
