Retention of Personal Data. We will retain your personal data as follows:
Information Held Under Consent. Whilst you are a member of the Company. Upon leaving, we will request your consent to continuing to hold your name and relevant details to support our historical records.
Data Subject’s Rights. Under the Act and even more under the GDPR you have a number of Rights which we have outlined below:
Right of Access. You are entitled to access your personal data so that you are aware and can verify the lawfulness of the processing. This is achieved through the mechanism of a Subject Access Request (SAR) and you have the right to obtain:
Confirmation that your data is being processed (held)
Access to your personal data (a copy) and
Other supplementary information that corresponds to the information in this privacy notice.
Fees and Timings. Under GDPR and from 25 May 2018, this information will be provided without charge; without delay and within one month. If an extension is required or requests are considered manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because they are repetitive, the Company may choose to: charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information; or refuse to respond. The reasons for this will be formally notified to you and your rights to appeal to the appropriate Supervisory Authority, i.e. UK Information Commissioner’s Officer (ICO) will be highlighted.
Identity Verification. To protect your personal data, the Clerk will seek to verify your identity before releasing any information, which will normally be in electronic format. As a member this will normally be a simple process, however if the SAR is made from a member living overseas, or former member, or by the relative of a deceased member, then additional verification steps are likely.
Right of Rectification. You are entitled to have personal data rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete. The Clerk will respond within one month of your request. In the unlikely event, the Clerk does not take action to the request for rectification, we will inform you of your rights to complain or seek judicial remedy.
Right of Erasure. You may request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. The Right to Erasure does not provide an absolute ‘right to be forgotten’. However, you do have a right to have personal data erased and to prevent processing in specific circumstances:
Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected/processed
When you withdraw consent
When you object to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for
continuing the processing
DISCLAIMER: The information in this Privacy Notice is for general guidance on your rights and responsibilities and is not legal advice. If you need more details on your rights or legal advice about what action to take, please contact an advisor or qualified lawyer.

The personal data is processed in relation to the offer of information society services

Right to Restrict Processing. Under the Act, you have a right to ‘block’ or suppress processing of personal data. The restriction of processing under the GDPR is similar. When processing is restricted, the Company is permitted to store the personal data, but not further process it. In this event, exactly what is held and why will be explained to you.
Right to Data Portability. You may request to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. This allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability. The Right to Data Portability only applies:
To personal data you have provided to the Company
Where the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract
and
When processing is carried out by automated means.
In these circumstances, the Clerk will provide a copy of your data in CSV format and, or PDF free of charge, without undue delay and within one month. If there is a delay to this, you will be informed.

Processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling)
Direct marketing (including profiling) and
Processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.
Automated Decision Making and Profiling. The Company does not employ any automated decision-making or conduct profiling of Data Subjects.

These are automated but they do not involve automated decision-making or profiling
