Data protection

RNLI/Nathan Williams

Data protection is the responsibility of all staff and volunteers across the RNLI. We all need to make sure that we are using personal and sensitive data in line with the law and holding it securely. These policies are designed to support you as a volunteer and help you understand data protection guidelines.

For more detailed policies on data protection and privacy, or using IT software or hardware in your role, please speak to your volunteer manager.
