We want everyone who supports us, or who comes to us for support, to feel confident about how any personal information they share will be looked after or used. This is central to our values as an organization.

We have given our Privacy Policy a refresh to reflect this and this can be viewed below It’s full of information on our principles, how we collect information and how we use personal information.

We’d like to keep all our valued supporters up to date with our progress. So, to update you on what we’re doing and ask whether you’d be able to support us, we’d like to keep in touch with you (by post, phone, email, text and other electronic means) about our progress and how you can continue to help us in this important mission.

Please be reassured that respect lies at the heart of everything our committed staff and volunteers do: we respect any information that you share with us and you can change your mind, change how we communicate with you and remove or add your consent at any time, by simply contacting us on info@lccomputers.co.uk
