Data Protection Act 1998

As a non-profit organisation simply holding data for membership and contacts reason we do not have to make a disclosure to the Information Commissioner.  We also do not make a voluntary notification so as to not spend more money on administrative matters, so that we can spend this money on action / provisions for young people.

However, we do comply wherever possible with the Data Protection Act in the following ways:

• Our electronic full member databases are encrypted and password protected + all members have to comply with a privacy clause.
• Our paper-based member forms are either destroyed or kept locked in a filing cabinet
• We will happily comply with any requests to see the data we hold about any body from the data subject (the person who we hold data on).  This can be done by writing to the Chairman, we will rarely levy a charge to do this, but the chairman will use his descretion to levy a maximum charge of £10.
• Data can be updated by members at any time, we encourage this as soon as anything changes.
• We do not share any data we hold without your implicit consent.
• We only use your data to keep a member record, communicate with you, your emergency contacts and monitor diversity.
• We will destroy your data within 5 years of you leaving membership unless staying as an 'alumni' member, or within 56 days of any request you make.
