What information will The Free Press Foundation collect about me?
When you contact The Free Press Foundation to make a donation or sign up to any of The FPF’s activities or online content, such as newsletters or you telephone, email or write to The FPF, or engage with The FPF via social media channels, we may receive and retain personal information about you.

We do not usually ask to provide “sensitive personal data” (such as information relating to racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, health information and political opinions). However, if you reveal such information in emails or other communications hosted by our site, you are consenting to this sensitive personal data being collected and processed by us. If you do not wish to consent, please do not include sensitive personal data in your communications to, or through, the site.
If there is a clear reason for collecting sensitive personal data, for example if you are participating in a marathon or similar fundraising event or where we need this to ensure that we provide appropriate facilities or support to enable you to participate in the event.
