When we collect your data, we process it to support and enhance the services we provide. This includes :
- Offering tailored guidance and advice for managing your eye or hearing condition, or that of someone you care for.

Sensitive Personal Data (also known as Special Category Data) can include information relating to an individual’s health, race, ethnic origin, political opinions, sex life, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.
In accordance with Data Protection law, we take extra care when collecting and processing this type of data. Some of our funders require us to report specific data criteria and service user statistics for analysis purposes; however, this information is always anonymised before sharing.
We will only use sensitive data to respond to your enquiry, support training, monitor quality, and evaluate the services we provide. Your details will never be passed on without your express permission, except in exceptional circumstances—such as when someone reports serious self-harm, poses a threat to others, or when a child shares concerns involving abuse or exploitation.

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
