Introduction
There are six data protection principles that we must, and
do, comply with. The personal information we hold about you must be:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on data
protection sets out a number of different reasons we may collect and process
your personal data, including:
Consent
In specific situations, we can collect and process your data
with your consent; for example, when you join the Society or sign up to receive email
notifications. Where relevant, when collecting your personal data, we'll make
it clear to you which data is necessary in connection with a particular
service.
We also need your personal data to comply with obligations
imposed on the Society by its Rules (available on this website). For example,
we need your postal address so that we can send you your membership card, and
email address so that we can send you details of our Annual General Meeting, or
other general meetings required for the functioning of the Society within its
rules.
Legal compliance
We may be legally bound to collect and process your data.
For example, if someone is involved in criminal activity or fraud, we may need
to pass details to law enforcement.
Legitimate interest
We require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a
way which might reasonably be expected as part of running the Society.
How we collect your personal data
There are a number of ways in which we may collect
information about you, including, but not limited to:
The type of personal data we collect
The data we may collect includes your name, your age, your
email address, phone number, postal address, date of birth.
How, why and for how long we use your personal data
We use your data to provide you with appropriate information
about the Society and our activities.
The data privacy law allows this as part of our
constitutional obligations and legitimate interest in understanding our members
and providing the highest levels of service.
We only keep your data for as long as is necessary for the
purpose it was collected. In the case of data collected as part of your
membership application, this means for a reasonable period beyond the length of
time you remain a member in case of query.
Each of our email newsletters has a link to unsubscribe at
the bottom should you wish to opt out.
Accuracy of your data
Given the limited nature of the data we collect and hold on
you, it is unlikely that any inaccuracies will be significant. However, if you
are concerned that we may be holding inaccurate data, or you wish to update
your data in any way, then please contact the Society.
Protection of your personal data
The security of your personal data is important, and we take
care to handle and store it as best we can.
We do not store any bank or card details, no matter by which
method you pay your membership.
We also regularly assess the safety of our electronic
storage in line with industry standards
Data processor
Data is processed by, or under the direction of, the
secretary of the Society and by other, relevant, board members.
We will never share your data with third parties without
your written consent.
Complaints
If you are at all unhappy about the handling of your data,
initially please advise the secretary of the Society. If they are unable to
resolve your query or complaint, then you can send a complaint to the
Information Commissioner's Office by calling 0303 123 1113 or go online to
www.ico.org.uk/concerns.
If you are based outside the UK, you have the right to lodge
your complaint with the relevant data protection regulator in your country of
residence.
