What personal information we collect
Membership information
For members of LPCSG, we keep only your name and email address. These details may be provided when you complete an attendance list at an LPCSG meeting or when you register through our website.
We use this information to communicate with members about LPCSG meetings, events and relevant support information.
Contact form enquiries
If you contact us through the website, we use the name, email address and message you provide to respond to your enquiry. Contacting us does not automatically add you to the LPCSG membership mailing list.
Website accounts
If you register for an account on the website, WordPress stores the information associated with your user account so that the account can operate. Website administrators can view and manage this information where necessary for administration of the site.
Why we use your information
We use personal information only where it is needed to administer LPCSG membership, communicate with members, respond to enquiries and operate the website.
Who we share information with
LPCSG does not sell members’ personal information or provide the membership list to other organisations for their own marketing purposes.
Like most websites, the LPCSG website relies on service providers involved in hosting, security, email and website operation. Information may be processed by those services where necessary to provide and protect the website and its communications.
How long we keep information
Membership information is retained for the current year and the previous four years.
Information submitted through the contact form is retained only as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and any appropriate follow-up or administrative requirements.
Information associated with a website account may be retained while the account remains in use and as necessary for website administration, legal or security purposes.
How we protect information
The LPCSG membership list is administered by a Committee member and is regularly backed up. Access to personal information is limited to those who need it for the administration and operation of LPCSG and its website.
