When you register on Link Maker for family finding as an adopter, your registered organisation/agency uploads and accesses your personal data on our site. Your organisation remains responsible for your data. This includes all your adopter profile information and information relating to the activity of family finding, which is then accessible by registered users via the site.

Please confirm

I understand that my case file, including my profile information and data relating to the activity of family-finding remains in the control of my organisation, and that my personal data will be processed by them in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

To create a profile suitable for family finding, organisations may ask for special categories of personal data (such as information relating to ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and health), and may ask you to confirm you have completed a criminal record check. If you have questions about how this type of data is processed you should contact your registered organisation.

Please confirm

I have consent from members of my household to provide personal data for the purposes of family-finding.
