Later this summer the improved update charity details service will go live. GDPR means that the Commission will need to let people know if any of their personal information is updated on the register of charities. The simplest and quickest way of doing this is to email people when their data is updated. As a result, the Commission will be asking you to check that the register details for your trustees remains up to date. This includes adding any new trustees and their contact details. You also need to remove the details of any trustees who are no longer involved with your charity.

The Commission says it will also use email to help trustees comply with charity law and run their charity effectively, by sending important regulatory alerts and updates.
