Our Privacy Statement sets out how we use and protect any personal data that you give us, or that we collect from you.  

We use the information we collect from you provide:  

• health and wellbeing services

• keep you up to date with the latest news on LGBT Foundation, our fundraising and campaigning  

• get your feedback on our services   

• help us with our staff and volunteer recruitment  

To help us do the above we have to collect personal information from you so we can keep in touch or to help provide you with a support depending on the service you are accessing. This will be shared with LGBT Foundation staff and volunteers only unless otherwise stated.  

What happens when I opt in for communications? 

When you sign up to LGBT Foundation’s mailing list, we ask for your personal information. We will use this information to: 

• update you on our groundbreaking work 

• keep you posted about our campaigns and relevant news 

• provide you with information on opportunities to support us, including fundraising and volunteering 

The personal information we collect may include details such as your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, as well as information you provide in any communications between us. This personal information will only be used for the purpose you provided it for, and we will not share it with any third party. 

You can opt in/out of specific emails or all marketing emails by contacting charity@lgbt.foundation  

Can I delete my data? 

You can ask to have your data removed from our mailing lists at any time. You can do this by clicking on the unsubscribe at the bottom of all of our mailshots and bulletins. You have a right to the erasure of your data, please contact hr@lgbt.foundation in the first instance for any such requests.  

Do you share my data with other organisations?  

We use your data to improve your experience. We do not share your data with third parties unless you ask us or give us your permission to share it for example if you agree for us to share the information with an organisation we are working on a joint project with. 

We may share information with a third party if it is required for funding purposes, however this is made explicit when the data is collected. Information will be shared with the police if there is a safeguarding risk that has arisen. 

How can I access data you have on me?   

Contact our HR Manager in the first instance for any such requests. They will provide you with a subject access request form in order to process these requests properly. You can email them at hr@lgbt.foundation.
