Last updated: November 2026

  1. About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected when you visit FeedingBritainsFuture.co.uk, contact us or take part in activities connected with Feeding Britain’s Future.

Feeding Britain’s Future is the food and drink industry’s movement, in partnership with IGD, designed to build a confident, skilled and future-ready workforce for the UK food system by creating opportunities for young people through activities including school workshops, work experience, careers services, campaigns, university partnerships and workplace learning.

For the purposes of applicable UK data protection law, IGD is the organisation responsible for the personal information covered by this Privacy Policy unless we tell you otherwise.

  1. The information we may collect

Depending on how you interact with Feeding Britain’s Future, we may collect information such as:

  • technical information about your visit to our website, such as your device, browser and website usage; and
  • cookie and analytics information, where you have provided any consent required.

We only aim to collect the personal information necessary for the relevant purpose.

  1. How we collect your information

We may collect personal information:

  • through website technologies such as cookies and analytics, subject to your choices; or
  • when you otherwise communicate with IGD about Feeding Britain’s Future.

Where we receive your personal information from another organisation, we will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law and this Privacy Policy.

  1. How we use your information

We may use personal information to:

  • improve our website, resources and programmes;
  • evaluate the reach and impact of Feeding Britain’s Future;
  • keep our website and systems secure; and
  • meet legal, regulatory and safeguarding responsibilities.
  1. Our lawful basis for using your information

Under UK data protection law, we need a valid reason, known as a lawful basis, for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Consent
Where you have actively agreed to a particular use of your information and consent is the appropriate lawful basis.

Legitimate interests
Where using your information is reasonably necessary to operate, administer, evaluate or improve Feeding Britain’s Future, provided that our interests do not override your rights and interests.

Contract
Where processing is necessary to enter into or perform an agreement with you.

Legal obligation
Where we need to use information to comply with a legal requirement.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

  1. Children and young people’s privacy

Feeding Britain’s Future is designed to create opportunities for young people, so protecting their privacy is particularly important to us.

We will aim to handle young people’s personal information fairly, transparently and with their best interests in mind.

Where we collect personal information directly from children and young people, we will provide clear, age-appropriate information explaining what information we need, why we need it and how it will be used.

  1. Who we may share information with

We will only share personal information where there is an appropriate reason for doing so and will take steps to ensure it is appropriately protected.

We do not sell your personal information.

  1. International transfers

Some organisations providing technology or other services to us may process personal information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with UK data protection requirements and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

  1. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where information needs to be retained to meet legal, regulatory, safeguarding or reporting requirements.

Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods.

When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our retention procedures.

  1. Keeping your information secure

We take appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

Access to personal information is limited to people and organisations that have an appropriate reason to use it.

  1. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you a number of rights over your personal information.

These can include the right to:

  • know how your information is being used;
  • ask for access to your personal information;
  • ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances;
  • ask us to restrict how your information is used;
  • object to certain uses of your information;
  • request transfer of your information in certain circumstances; and
  • withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis being used.

Children also have data protection rights and organisations must make it possible for children to exercise them where they have the capacity to do so.

If you would like to exercise one of your rights, please contact us using the details below.

You also have the right to raise concerns with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
