Privacy Policy

Who we are

We operate as a sole trader, providing information and support services (the “Service”).
For data protection purposes, the data controller is Katie Bird.

What information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to provide through our contact form or by email.
We ask that you do not include any personal or sensitive information when getting in touch.

We may collect:

  • Your first name (if you choose to give it)

  • Your email address (so we can reply)

  • A brief description of your enquiry

We do not request or hold sensitive details such as addresses, financial data, or health information.

How we use your information

We use your information only to respond to your enquiry.
We do not:

  • Store your information beyond the time needed to reply

  • Reuse it for other purposes

  • Add you to mailing lists or share your details with any third parties

Once your enquiry has been dealt with, any related emails are securely deleted.

Lawful basis for processing

Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest, as we need to handle your message to respond to your enquiry.

Data storage and retention

We keep your message only for as long as necessary to respond to you.
We do not create or maintain a database of contacts, and we do not reuse your information for any other purpose.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to any information we hold about you

  • Ask us to correct or delete your information

  • Withdraw consent at any time (if applicable)

You can contact us at hello@lgbtqdivorceforum.com to make these requests.

Data protection and ICO registration

Because we do not store or reuse personal data and handle only minimal contact information, our data use falls under the ICO’s exemption for core business purposes.
Even though we are exempt from paying a data protection fee, we still follow the UK GDPR principles of fairness, transparency, and data minimisation.
