Introduction

This policy details, the approach taken by the Lloyds and TSB Staff Benevolent Fund relating to the privacy of your data. This information is for visitors to our website (www.lloydsandtsbstaffbenevolentfund.org.uk) and clients who make contact and wish to access the services we provide. The policy also includes those who provide donations to support our cause. We take the privacy seriously and will continuously review and improve our data security features and controls. We will ensure your privacy is protected in line with our legal obligations and statutory timescales.

Type of Personal Information which may be requested

In order to provide support, you may be asked to provide personal information. Any information you chose to provide will be used to deliver the services requested/offered. Dependent upon the type of support requested we may ask you to provide your contact details along with the way you prefer to be contacted. We may also ask for details of your income and expenditure, borrowings, assets, savings, age, marital status (for purposes of salutation only) and if you are disabled. If you wish you can also provide details of your next of kin and people to whom you have given Power of Attorney.

How we store and use the data provided

If you decide not to provide your personal information we may not be able to provide assistance or indeed respond. As a small charity supported by unpaid volunteers we do not use automated decision making and rely on the information you provide so that we may support those who are most in need.  Your personal details are often provided by telephone, post, email and through digital media. We regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure your information is held safely and securely. In the event, we become aware of a data breach we will notify you accordingly. • The personal information we hold is kept private and securely stored. All the data and records we hold for you is securely destroyed after seven years of you or your representatives not requesting support. When we no longer require that information we no longer store it. • When you provide us with information it will be used as to assess the level of support we can offer and for that purpose only.

This data is not shared with any other person or organisation. For donations paid through deduction from pay or pension, the payroll provider passes no personal or financial data to the Fund. The Fund receives one monthly credit from the payroll provider that includes the contributions from all contributors.
