1. INTRODUCTION

District 1200 2022 Conference Committee is committed to protecting your privacy and security. This policy explains how and why we use your personal data, to ensure you remain informed and in control of your information. It is specific to the 2022 Conference Committee of District 1200. 
District 1200 2022 Conference Committee will ask its contacts to “opt-in” for marketing communications. This is due to a change to the rules which govern how we can communicate with you and a new regulation on personal data (the General Data Protection Regulation) which came into force in May 2018. Therefore we have an approach that relies on you giving us your consent about how we can contact you. This means you’ll have the choice as to whether you want to receive these messages.You can decide not to receive communications or change how we contact you at any time. If you wish to do so please contact us by emailing moc.liamg%40ecnerefnoc0021tcirtsid
We will never sell your personal data, and will only ever share it with organisations we work with where necessary and if its privacy and security are guaranteed.
Questions?Any questions you have in relation to this policy or how we use your personal data should be sent to moc.liamg%40ecnerefnoc0021tcirtsid or in writing to Tony Quinn, 15 Voake Close, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2FL

We’ll only share information when necessary.

If you wish to contact us, email moc.liamg%40ecnerefnoc0021tcirtsid or in writing to Tony Quinn, 15 Voake Close, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2FL.

7. RESEARCH AND PROFILING

This section explains how and why we use personal data to build profiles which enable us to understand our supporters, improve our relationship with them, and provide a better supporter experience.
Profiling to help us understand our supporters
We collect information on preferences and interests so that we know what material you are mostly likely to be interested in. 
Anonymised data
We may aggregate and anonymise personal data so that it can no longer be linked to any particular person. This information can be used for a variety of purposes, such as to identify trends or patterns. This information helps inform our actions.

8. YOUNG PEOPLE

Marketing
We won’t send marketing emails, letters, calls or messages to under 18 year-olds.
We won’t use young people’s personal data for marketing purposes and we won’t profile it.

9. HOW WE PROTECT DATA

We strive to keep your data safe and to prevent unauthorised access to, or use or disclosure of your personal information. 
Of course, we cannot guarantee the security of any home computers or the internet, and any online communications (e.g. information provided by email or our website) are at the user’s own risk.

10. STORAGE

Where we store informationDistrict 1200 2022 Conference Committee’s operations are based in the UK and we store our data within the European Union. Some organisations which provide services to us may transfer personal data outside of the EEA, but we’ll only allow them to do so if your data is adequately protected. For example, some of our systems use Microsoft and Google products. As US companies, it may be that using their products result in personal data being transferred to or accessible from the US. However, we’ll allow this as we are certain personal data will still be adequately protected (and at the time of composing this policy both have registered commitment to comply with the GDPR).
How long we store informationWe will only use and store information for so long as it is required for the purposes it was collected for. How long information will be stored for depends on the information in question and what it is being used for. For example, if you ask us not to send you marketing emails, we will stop storing your emails for marketing purposes (though we’ll keep a record of your preference not to be emailed).
We will continually review what information we hold and delete what is no longer required. 

11. KEEPING YOU IN CONTROL

We want to ensure you remain in control of your personal data. Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are as follows:• the right to confirmation as to whether or not we have your personal data and, if we do, to obtain a copy of the personal information we hold (this is known as subject access request);• the right to have your data erased (though this will not apply where it is necessary for us to continue to use the data for a lawful reason);• the right to have inaccurate data rectified;• the right to object to your data being used for marketing or profiling; and• where technically feasible, you have the right to personal data you have provided to us which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or the performance of a contract. This information will be provided in a common electronic format.
Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there may be situations where we are unable to do so.
If you would like further information on your rights or wish to exercise them email moc.liamg%40ecnerefnoc0021tcirtsid or in writing to Tony Quinn, 15 Voake Close, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2FL.
