Jigsaw Adoption data protection policies

In this section, you will find Jigsaw’s polices for dealing with personal data collected from our service users and other sources as well as terms on which third parties may process data received from Jigsaw.

Guests and adopters

If you are visiting our site to learn about adoption and/or if you are contacting us to discuss potential adopting and/or if you are going through the adoption process with us and/or you are providing personal data to us in any other capacity, Jigsaw’s data protection and data retention policies are relevant to you. Both policies are an integral part of our data protection framework and we recommend that you familiarise yourself with both.

Local authorities and sub-contractors

If you are a local authority discussing a potential placement of a child/children with our adopters or if you are doing work for us on a freelance basis or if you are receiving personal data from Jigsaw in any other capacity, you are a “data processor” as defined in Article 4of the EU regulation 2016/679 General Data Protection and the terms set out below with apply to you.
