Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential. Love Wycombe will not share your information for marketing purposes with anyone else unless obliged by law.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you. If you no longer wish to be contacted by Love Wycombe, please contact us.
7. Who sees your information?
Love Wycombe considers the following information to be confidential:
- Addresses
- Declaration question answers, specifically information relating to the criminal records of volunteers
- Health information
Confidential information shall be seen only by Love Wycombe Trustees and other individuals nominated by them (including admin staff and volunteer co-ordinators). In all other cases data is only shared on a strict need-to-know basis.
For example:
If you are volunteer on the Love Wycombe site team, the Site Manager will generally only receive the names of the volunteer for the site team. Team Leaders may receive health and special needs information if a volunteer or child has a health condition or special needs that will impact.
If you are an enquirer, you will be contacted by one of our volunteers who may invite you to meet, attend a church they attend, or go to a church activity such as Alpha.
All printed reports are collected at the end of events and securely destroyed.

a) Volunteers
Love Wycombe retains all data collected about volunteers indefinitely for as long as it is organising events to meet its charitable objects. When a new event is announced, messages to volunteers include an invitation to be removed from the volunteers’ list.
In accordance with its duty of care responsibilities, Love Wycombe will exceptionally keep a volunteer’s data on file if that data indicates that the said volunteer could pose a threat to others, and the trustees or individuals nominated by them consider there to be a reasonable risk of that person attempting to register as a volunteer for Love Wycombe again in the future.
b) Enquirers
Love Wycombe retains all data collected about enquirers for no more than six months.
