The Secretary has a database which contains the following information:
- Your name(s) (as supplied to us by you)
- Your postal address
- Your email address and telephone number (if you gave them to us)
- Your membership number and the amount of your subscription.
We will not pass on this information to any third party or make use of it except to communicate with you to supply newsletters and other information about the SPRA. If we send out bulk mailings, e.g the newsletter, we will use the ‘blind carbon copy’ method so that others cannot see your email address. You have the right to inspect your data and to ask for it to be removed or modified. Data will be deleted if you cease to become a member.
Membership of the SPRA includes membership of the local Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) scheme. This entitles you to receive their newsletter and information and warnings about crime in our area. We do not share your data with NHW.
Supplementary note to the above: our interpretation of the regulations is that you do not need to give formal consent to our holding your information because taking out or renewing membership implies that you are willing for us to do this. We believe we have a contract with you to supply information about our activities which we cannot fulfil unless we hold your data.
