Basis for processing information
LRCF relies on its legitimate interest to process information on donors, supporters, WiP members and other contacts, as all have expressed an interest in our activities by: discussing or setting up a fund, attending our events, becoming a WiP member or attending WiP events and supporting the annual charities. LRCF also relies on its Legitimate Interests to process data submitted as part of a grant application in order to facilitate that application and connect the group with funds.
All communications that constitute direct marketing will only be sent by post under this basis.
For email communications, we will obtain and record explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time by contacting us using the details below.
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure.
In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
Retention
We will not retain your information for longer than is necessary. This will normally be for a maximum of six years after our relationship with you has ceased although we are occasionally required to hold data for longer periods for research and statistical purposes or specific programmes.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that website.
