On joining the Society, Members are asked to provide their contact details.
The
General Data Protection Regulations (which became effective May 2018) require
that the Society also asks Members to state how they wish the Society to contact
them and to set out in a Privacy Notice how this information is stored and managed.
Each Member’s details, including their approved method for making contact, are
recorded on the Membership Application Form. The Forms are held by the
Society’s Secretary (the data controller) who transfers each member’s details to a
password protected spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is copied to the Society’s
Treasurer.
The purpose of holding this information is to enable the Society to keep Members
informed on Society activities and to communicate on matters such as membership
fees, event ticket costs etc.
The Society keeps records of attendances at events for accounting purposes and to
be able to gauge the level of support for individual events. For reporting purposes,
this information is anonymised so that individual attendance records are not collated.
Each Member gives their approval to how the Society communicates with them when
they complete the Membership Application Form. This approval (the legal basis for
communication) can be withdrawn at any time by completing an Approval
Withdrawal Form available from the Secretary. The Secretary is responsible for
recording the requested changes and for storing the Approval Withdrawal Form.
In addition to contact details, the Society will also acquire bank details when
payments are made by bank transfer or cheque. The Society undertakes never to
sell or swap a Member’s personal details with any other organisation. Should your
image appear in any photograph that the Society wishes to use for marketing or
publicity purposes, the Society will seek your permission beforehand to use the
photograph.
