Charities hit with fines for sharing donors’ data without consentTwo high-profile UK charities have been fined by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) for misuse of personal information.The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) were fined £25,000 ($31,500) and £18,000 ($22,681) respectively for data protection breaches relating to “wealth screening”, data and tele-matching and trading personal details with other charities.In its press release, the ICO describes “wealth screening” as employing wealth management companies to ……analyse the financial status of supporters to estimate how much more money they could be persuaded to give.The wealth management companies compare information held by the charity – typically including supporters’ names and addresses, dates of birth and the value and date of the last donation – with sources that are openly available to build a bigger picture about the donor that might include income, property values, lifestyle and friendships.
