Website information

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 August 2026

This policy explains how personal information submitted through the Loughton Lodge No. 8455 website is handled.

Information we may collect

When you contact the Lodge we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, reason for contacting us, your message, and any consent choices you make. The website also records administrative information needed to operate and secure the service.

Why we use your information

We use enquiry information to respond to you, administer Lodge communications, maintain appropriate records, and protect the website. Where you separately opt in to Lodge news or updates, we use the details you supplied for that purpose.

Marketing and Lodge updates

Receiving a reply to an enquiry does not require you to join a marketing list. News and update emails are only intended for people whose appropriate consent has been recorded. You can ask to stop receiving these communications at any time.

Who can access the information

Authorised Lodge administrators and relevant Lodge officers may access information where necessary to deal with an enquiry or administer communications. Website and email service providers may process information as part of providing those services.

How long information is kept

Information should only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, Lodge administration, and any applicable legal or record-keeping requirements.

Your choices

You may contact the Lodge to ask about personal information held about you, request correction of inaccurate details, or ask to stop receiving optional communications.

Contact

Privacy enquiries can be submitted through our Contact Us page or directed to the Lodge Secretary.
