A Leeds-based charity that supports transgender children and young people has apologised for a data breach.
Mermaids UK said it was "deeply sorry" for what it called a "historical data breach" reported by The Sunday Times.
It is believed thousands of personal emails were made public online.
The paper claims the correspondence included "intimate details", names and addresses, but the charity denies this.
Mermaids said it had taken immediate action and reported the breach.
