RhiNOremedy is a small UK charity (HMRC: ) run by volunteer(s), and overseen by its trustees. The charity aims to help tackle illegal wildlife trade. Our flagship and major focus is the rhino and the illegal trade in rhino horn. We raise awareness of the problem through our website, social media and events such as stalls, and raise funds (stalls and grant applications) from which we support projects which also aim to tackle the issue of poaching and illegal wildlife trade. Our main focus is to develop and support education projects in demand centred countries, and to support anti-poaching efforts also. Our main point of contact is: info@rhinoremedy.org

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties. We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do partner with fellow conservation charities and organisations, but would never share your contact details unless you requested us to.
When you are using our secure online payment pages, your payment is processed by a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is through a third party provider (PayPal) with its own encryption and management. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Non-sensitive details (your email address, etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Currently we do not undertake profiling. In future to ensure we meet your interests, personal information may be analysed to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you.
