How we use your information

RedbridgeCVS keeps information about many different people as part of the work we do. We take your privacy very seriously, and have detailed procedures regarding how that data is used. We run various different services and projects, and the details of how we use data vary between them. This document describes our procedures in detail for all the different projects and services.

RedbridgeCVS employs paid staff, but some of our work is done by volunteers, and a volunteer may process your information. We check that volunteers have the skills to do their work properly, and every volunteer is trained in how to handle information when they start working with us.
