What information we collect, use, and why
Our website and contact form are hosted by WordPress.com who act only as our data processor under a strict data-processing agreement. No marketing or sharing except with our website host.
When you use our contact form we collect:
Your name
Your email address
The message you send, which may contain personal stories, experiences or details about problems you or your child may have faced in relation to gender ideology in schools and education. This may include sensitive or special category personal data, or health information in your own story you believe relevant.
You provide this information voluntarily when you choose to contact us, and we only use it to reply to your message.
We do not collect personal information directly from children under 18 and our website is not aimed at children. However, parents or carers may voluntarily include limited information about their child, usually just a first name or general description of school concerns.
We only use this information to reply to the parent or guardian and then delete the message. When we reply, we may suggest that you share your own story directly with relevant people e.g. your child’s school, local authority or MP if it could help with your concern — but we never pass on your name, email or message without your explicit permission.
Some information is subject to additional protection due to its sensitive nature:
