We use the information that you have given us in order to:

1. Confirm registration for support (provided digitally via a Google Form or email)
   1. Parent/Guardian/Carer – Name, address, email address and telephone number to interact during the Christmas season and deliver free toys to your house ready for Christmas Day
   2. Parent/Guardian/Carer relationship to the child to help us understand our demographic and ensure there is only one application per household and child
   3. Name of the child being registered for support to ensure there is only one application per child 
   4. Gender, age and date of birth of child that is being registered for support to allow our volunteers enough information to choose appropriate toys for the child

2. Volunteering Form (provided digitally):
   1. Name, address, email address and telephone number of the volunteer to allow us to easily contact the volunteer during their engagement with the organisation
   2. Medical information of the volunteer relevant to declare to allow our Trustees enough information to provide a safe volunteering environment to work within

How we store your personal information 

Your information is securely stored. This is done digitally through a secure, password protected and multi-factor authenticated Google Workspace site and physically in a locked paper storage cabinet, only accessible by Trustees.

We keep data provided when registering for support in full for 1 Year after the date of registration. We will then dispose of the personal identifiers from your information by permanently deleting the specific data from our digital files and any printed delivery or packing slips will be shredded. We will retain the following information; town where the toys were delivered, child gender and ages of the child supported, to allow us to track annual trends in the geographical locations of the families we support and the gender and age distribution of the children we support.

We keep the data provided when registering to volunteer with us in full for the time you are engaged with the organisation. At the point you declare you no longer wish to volunteer with us we will permanently delete any digital records held and will shred any paper versions of your form during our annual data review. This excludes any information related to an accident you may have had whilst volunteering for us, where we will hold that information for 7 years from the time it was reported, inline with UK data retention policy.
