We do not use this website for advertising or behavioural profiling.
Photos, stories and testimonials
The League may use photographs, project stories or testimonials in publicity where there is an appropriate basis and permission to do so. We aim to be especially careful where identifiable people, patients, young people, healthcare staff or partner organisations are involved.
Sharing information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared where it is reasonably necessary to carry out a charity activity, where you ask us to do so, or where there is a legal obligation. Any routine arrangements with third parties should be proportionate to the purpose.
Retention and security
We aim to keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting or governance requirements. Access should be limited to people who need it for the charity's work.
