We collect and process personal data only as it might be needed in keeping with our mission of enabling and promoting global citizenship. Personal data we collect includes information such as name, email address, phone numbers, postal address, business title, organization/company/university/department, as well as any other personal and professional information provided via a form, in our Fellows’ Portal, or any questionnaires/surveys you agree to respond to.
Much of this personal information is collected directly from you when you:

- Sign up to our Newsletter
Your data is used solely by the LB Foundation. We will share personal information with third parties and/or companies who provide services to the LB Foundation only as required. The LB Foundation does not trade or sell personal information at any point.
Please note that information we collect from you may be stored and processed by these providers consistent with their privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers keep your personal data confidential and only use your personal data to the extent necessary to perform their functions and not for any other purpose.
If you submit any personal information to the LB Foundation in response to a request for program interest or participation, this may be shared with relevant third parties (including partners), depending on the nature of the request. Personal information collected in this capacity will be used solely for the purpose identified and covered under that particular request, not this Privacy Policy.

As part of this process, you may need to provide personal data, such as name and contact information, to us about persons other than yourself.
