Data Protection

Information collected by membership application forms is used to maintain the membership roll of the Association provided for under the Constitution of the Association. The information will not be shared outside the Committee of the Association. The information will be held by a designated member of the Committee. The information will be retained while the member is a member of the Association (and for a reasonable period thereafter if the member ceases to be a member for the sole purpose of inviting lapsed members to renew their membership unless the member requests prior erasure of the information). A member may request a copy of all information held about them by the Association and this should be provided within one month. A member may request that any inaccuracies be corrected and to have information erased. A member may complain if the member is unhappy with the Association’s implementation of data protection law.

The Association may come into possession of other personal data. Any other personal data held by the Association will be used only to pursue the objects of the Association provided for under the Constitution of the Association. The information will not be shared outside the Committee of the Association except for the purpose for which the information appears to have been provided. The information will be held by a designated member of the Committee. The information will be retained while the matter to which the data relates is current (and for a reasonable period thereafter to deal with legitimate queries arising unless the person to whom the data relates requests prior erasure of the information). The person to whom the data relates may request a copy of all information held about them by the Association and this should be provided within one month. The person to whom the data relates may request that any inaccuracies be corrected and to have information erased. The person to whom the data relates may complain if they are unhappy with the Association’s implementation of data protection law.
