3. COLLECTION AND CONSENT Members will have the opportunity to update their Collected Data each year at the time of membership renewal or at any other time by providing their request in writing with relevant details to the Membership Secretary. A new member joining the Society, or an existing member renewing their membership, will be required to complete a Membership Form (hereafter the Form) and be asked to positively give their consent by signature to the Policy in respect to their Collected Data. The Policy clearly describes the intended use of the Collected Data, how it will be stored, who will hold it, to whom it will be available and when it will expire and be erased. Members will be advised of their right to access, amend and withdraw their consent at any subsequent time.
4. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT See Paragraph 9, Members’ Rights.
5. DATA RETENTION AND STORAGE The Collected Data will be securely stored in electronic and/or paper form by the Membership Secretary. The Collected Data will be shared with other Society Committee Members who require it for circulation of information, the general running of the Society and the provision of membership benefits. When the Collected Data is updated, any obsolete copies will be destroyed.
6. LIST OF DATA HOLDERS The Collected Data will be held by the Society’s Committee Members. The Collected Data will be used to advise members of Chairperson’s decisions such as late cancellation of meetings, distribute sales and expenses cheques by post, circulate forms relating to membership, notify members of upcoming events and meetings, and for the general day to day efficient running of the Society.
7. DELETION OF DATA Upon return to the Membership Secretary of updated or new Forms, the obsolete Forms will be destroyed. The Collected Data for members who elect not to renew their membership, leave the Society, request the deletion of their Collected Data, or withdraw consent will be destroyed within 28 days or as soon as possible. The Membership Secretary will delete his/her data and then advise other Society Committee Members to delete any data they hold.

This may involve withdrawal of consent and, in such a case, the member will be advised that the Society will no longer be able to confer membership benefits including, but not limited to, the distribution of information.

Security must be reviewed and modified to ensure that a further breach cannot ensue.
