What personal data do we collect, why do we collect it and how long is it retained
2.1 Membership personal data
We collect and use personal data to supply membership services to our members. We do not use your data for any automated decision making or profiling. Your personal data includes information such as name, address, telephone number, email address as well as relevant financial and credit card information used during the processing of membership and shop purchases. Your credit / debit card data is handled securely in accordance with our Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) procedure.
Personal data is collected in a number of different ways, for example you may provide this data directly when filling in forms on this website, or when communicating directly with us by telephone, post or in person.
This data is used to enable us to process your membership and to communicate with you about your membership and relevant news and also to provide your membership benefits. For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information provided in your user profile.
Your personal data is retained for as long as you remain an active member. One year after membership lapses or immediately upon notification of death of a member or a request to be forgotten, all personal data will be deleted except Gift Aid declarations and payment records which will be kept for seven years to comply with HMRC requirements.
2.2 Website Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
