Suggested donation amounts

The Fundraise Up platform features functionality, known as machine learning, that is able to suggest a donation amount to you, based on analysis of publicly available data related to your location, browser type and device, and website activity and any previous donations made to CARE International UK through Fundraise Up. This information is only ever used anonymously and in ways that cannot identify any individual.

We use this service in our legitimate interest and in order to support our charitable work. Any suggested donation amount can be ignored. There is no automatic decision making involved in this activity and it will not result in any harmful effects to you.

If you have any concerns over suggested donation amounts, please write to the Data Protection Team at London-DataProtection@careinternational.org or by post at CARE International UK, c/o Ashurst LLP, London Fruit and Wool Exchange, 1 Duval Square, London E1 6PW
