Data Use & Protection
This page is to explain what personal data Freegle keeps, why it keeps it and what it does with it, it terms of processing, protecting and deleting it. Hopefully this is a straight forward explanation for freegle members. There is also a link to our Data Protection Policy which is more detailed and it so we can show our compliance to relevant data protection legislation.
Where does Freegle keep data?
The majority of data freegle has is kept in the platform we call Freegle Direct see [1]. This is where all groups are held (apart from those in Norfolk [2]) the ads are shown. As Freegle Direct works with Yahoo groups where they can co-exist then Yahoo does keep other data that Freegle itself doesn't keep. Also
In addition the national volunteers keep data about their roles such as finance, media and IT development.
Finally local groups may keep information about how the group is running. We are currently (April 2017) looking into what local groups typically keep so we can advise them and come up with the appropriate guidance and policy.
