What information do we collect about you?
There are many different ways of interacting with LUL, and many different reasons why we may collect and hold information about you. We work with funders, potential employees, partner organisations, volunteers, academic researchers, service providers, schools, parents, young people and children.
LUL may collect and store personal data, such as: name, address, email address and telephone number; school and academic year; donation details; employment applications; survey responses and equal opportunities monitoring forms.
Image, audio and video recordings
Personal data also includes images, audio or video recordings. We use these to communicate about our work to various interested parties, including to raise funds and to market our activities. They may be used:
in paper format in the media (newspaper, magazines, news websites)
for use in LUL promotional material (leaflets, newsletters, website, e-flyers)
to promote LUL on our web site and social media channels, and those of our partners
to promote the work of LUL at conferences and other presentations
in funding applications and reports
We will not use an image, audio or video recording of a child without the permission of both the child’s parent/guardian and the child themselves.
Similarly, we will never use any child’s first name or surname, with or without their image, in any of the channels or ways described above, or to any other person or organisation, without the express permission of a child’s parent/guardian and the child themselves.
If we wish to use an image, audio or video recording of you in a way we have not anticipated, we will seek your permission, (and the permission of your parent/guardian if applicable), before doing so.
LUL will seek to renew any permissions granted around the use of image, audio and video recordings on an annual basis.
