The new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) are effective from 25 May 2018. Our statement regarding our policy is shown below:
The Club collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information regarding our members. This means that we are responsible as “controller” of that personal information for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulations.
In the course of running the Club, we collect and retain personal information which may include your name, address, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, subscription history, payments, bank account details, membership links and membership application form. This information is required so that you can be a member of the Club.
We process information about you:
The legal bases for this processing are that it is necessary to enable us to provide membership benefits, to comply with our legal obligations and to achieve legitimate purposes of the club.
We may disclose and exchange information with the Association of Conservative Clubs and law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies. This information will be used solely by the Club for administration and statistical purposes and will not, under any circumstances be provided to or shared with any other external body, company or person.
Our data in this respect is stored on our hard drive and there are the usual back up facilities in place including Cloud. We take the issue of security very seriously and other members do not have any access to this information and the staff and committee only have limited access.
You have a statutory right to see your individual information and if you wish to avail yourself of this, please write to me. We will provide the information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
We will retain the information during your membership and for six years after it ends.
