Privacy Notice
Last updated June 2026. This is the version that doesn't try to hide anything.
Who we are
brink ("we", "us") operates the brink platform from Edinburgh, Scotland. We are the data controller for personal data collected through the platform.
What we collect
Account details (name, email), fundraiser content you publish, basic analytics about how the site is used, and communications you send us. Donation payment details are collected by the regulated payment provider, not by brink.
How we use it
To operate the platform, surface relevant projects, send you updates you've asked for, prevent abuse, and report aggregate impact statistics. We do not sell personal data.
Lawful basis
We rely on legitimate interest for core platform operation, consent for marketing emails, and contract for transactional activity you initiate (such as creating a fundraiser).
Sharing
We share data with our payment providers and the delivery partner of the project you support, only as needed to operate that activity. We use standard infrastructure providers (hosting, analytics) under data processing agreements.
Retention
We keep account data while your account is active and for a limited period afterwards for legal and accounting purposes.
Your rights
You can access, correct, export or delete your personal data at any time. Email privacy@brink.scot. You can also lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Cookies
We use a small set of cookies for essential functionality and privacy-respecting analytics. We do not use advertising trackers.
