Safeguarding our members' data

Our members' details are held in a secure database. Members have online access to their own records; the only other people with access to records are LCER officers and staff. Members can amend or delete their own records, by accessing their account online, or by asking us to do it, in writing or by email. Donations and subscriptions are managed by secure payments services; LCER does not have access to your card details.

We never share information with third parties without first obtaining active consent from the members concerned. LCER members wanting to set up local campaigns sometimes ask to be put in touch with other members living in their area. In the event that a member were to agree to their details being passed on in this way, we would share only  their name, email, phone number and CLP.

We sometimes publish lists or profiles of individuals or groups that support the introduction of PR, but would only do so with the express consent of all concerned. We acknowledge the right to withdraw consent once it has been given; in such cases we will make every effort to retract the relevant material, although this may not be easy once it has been put in the public domain.

Membership services are provided by WhiteFuse membership management; direct debit payments are processed by the payment platform GoCardless; and one-off card payments are processed by Stripe. LCER does not hold details of members' payment cards or bank accounts.
