DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT
Trussell relies on its legitimate interests to engage supporters in our advocacy work. We will process your personal data in accordance with UK data protection law. Your details will be kept safe and secure, only used by us, or those who work for us, and will not be sold to third parties for marketing purposes. We may provide your data (including your name, postcode and email address) to our social media partners. This is to check if you have an account and to create a ‘lookalike’ audience. Our adverts may then appear when you use the social media platform. We may use information and data you provide for analysis, research or screening purposes in order to help us understand our supporters so as we can save resources and deliver the best possible service. If you would like to know more about your data protection rights or how we process your data, please take a look at our Privacy Policy

The data that we gather from the frontline work of food banks (both the numbers of people receiving emergency food parcels and the reasons for visiting a food bank) helps us campaign for change to ensure everyone can afford their own food.
