 What information do we collect and what do we do with it? 

For Members, Brady club members and their respective families we collect the data necessary to pursue our objectives of giving support to individuals with learning disabilities. This may include things like name, address, date of birth, emergency contact details.

Some of the information we hold is called ‘special category’ data which means it is more private. This includes things like health and religious beliefs.

For supporters, we collect the data necessary including at times bank details and tax status for gift aid purposes. 

For staff and volunteers, we collect the data necessary for the performance of their roles and our obligations to them. Further information can be found in HR 08 – Employee data protection notice. 

For Members who are also tenants, we will collect the data necessary to manage the tenancy and fulfil the agreement we have with them. 

Personal data may be collected from anyone who engages with Langdon, including the IP address (address of a computer on the internet) when our website is accessed. 

What are the lawful bases for Langdon processing your data?

  • Langdon has a legitimate interest 
  • There is a contract between Langdon and the person whose data is being collected

Who do we share the information with? 

We share this information with local authorities and social services. We may share this information with third-party suppliers contracted to provide services to Langdon, its Members and employees. We may also share data with an agent (if appropriate) and with third-party service providers, including software suppliers and contractors, to allow them to carry out maintenance. 

All of these third-party contracts include clauses which commit the suppliers to follow Langdon policies and procedures in respect of the privacy of data held. Otherwise, your information will not be shared with other organisations unless legally required to do so to prevent fraud or a crime, or if we have your explicit consent. 

At this time, we do not share any data for planning or research purposes for which the national data opt-out would apply. We review this on an annual basis and for any new processing.
