To comply with the General Data Protection Regulations 2018, this policy is designed to make clear how we look after your personal data and your rights under the Regulations.
We are responsible for ensuring that any data you entrust us with is:
- Truly secure
- Viewed only by those who really need to view it
- Limited to what is needed
- Accurate and up to date
- Only kept whilst it is needed
- Deleted/destroyed after it is not required

What data do we hold?
The personal data that we hold is your name, telephone number, postal and email address given to us when you joined the Aldgate Ward Club (AWC), or when you last updated that data. If you have no email address and wish to receive our e-newsletter by post, we will need to have and use your postal address to send you the newsletters and other communications.
Why we hold your data
When you joined AWC you effectively gave us the lawful reason to hold your data in order that we can supply you with the services associated with your membership including e-newsletters, printed newsletters, membership cards (for access to discounts), occasional emails or letters about your membership or SJWS, and necessary communications regarding your subscription. We do not need to seek your explicit consent to continue to supply these things.
Where we hold your data
Access to the whole membership system is only available to trusted AWC administrators. You can view the data held about you by logging in to the website using your personal password. If you are unable to access the online system and want to see the information we hold, please contact the administrator at secretary@aldgatewardclub.org or write to the Chairman.
We not store your financial details, but collect only the date and amount of any payments you have made, or whether you have not paid.
If you still pay by Bank Standing Order or by cheque, the details of those payments are manually transferred from our bank statements to the membership system in order to track subscription payments.
We will not pass on your data to any other organisation without your explicit permission.
Your rights over your data
You have the right at any time to:
- Ask us what data we hold about you
- View your own membership record to view update your own data
- Ask to have your data corrected or deleted. Please note that deletion means we are no longer able to contact you to offer any membership benefits, and will cancel your membership subscription.
