How we use your personal information

The Homes for Britain campaign is led by eight organisations:

• National Housing Federation

• Royal Institute of British Architects
• Residential Landlords Association

As such, any of the eight organisations involved may contact you on behalf of Homes for Britain to provide you with information, services or products you have requested, and for administration purposes. They may use this information to further their aims, including campaigning activities other than Homes for Britain, but will only ever contact you in regards to the Homes for Britain campaign.

Homes for Britain may need to share your information with service providers, associated organisations and agents for these purposes. We do not disclose personal information for direct marketing purposes. We may need to disclose your information if required to do so by law.
