The Great British Duck Race takes your privacy very seriously. We will never pass your personal details onto anyone, including the charity you have chosen to support, without your express consent.

Please note that by visiting or registering with The Great British Duck Race, you are agreeing to the practices detailed below so please read on to find out how information relating to you will be treated as you use our site.

1. The Information we collect from you as a site visitor
The Great British Duck Race collects information about the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of all visitors to our site. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer automatically when you use the internet. This information is only collected in aggregate (in other words, we are not able to monitor your individual usage of the site) and helps us monitor site traffic patterns in order to improve our service. The site uses cookies for some interactive features. A cookie is a small amount of data, which includes an anonymous, unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Most browsers will automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser to reject cookies but some parts of the web site may not function properly if the cookies are rejected.

If you donate or make a pledge on The Great British Duck Race website, we collect your first and last name, your declaration of tax status, your credit or debit card details (including card type, card number and expiry date) and your billing address. We will only use your payment details for the purpose of processing your donation via our payment partner. To find out more about the security of your payments, please read out Security Policy. If you make a Gift Aid declaration, we will pass your details on to the relevant charity who will pass your details onto the Inland Revenue for the purpose of reclaiming the tax on your donation. Your Gift Aid declaration includes your name and home address (which may be different from your billing address) along with the confirmation that you are paying sufficient amounts of tax in the current tax year. Every time you make a donation, you will be given the option to receive further information from the charity: we will not pass on your name or addresses to them unless you expressly ask us to do so.

If you wish to stop receiving further communications from The Great British Duck Race, please use the ‘unsubscribe’ option on items received.
