Information Policy
Up to 2019, Members’ personal information has been captured by way of a hard copy application form (and CV). The Membership Secretary has retained the hard copies in a locked and secure location and will add your name, email address and place of work of an individual to an electronic database spreadsheet.
From June 2019, all new members’ personal information has been captured by electronic membership registration. There are appropriate security measures in place to prevent your personal data from being accidentally or deliberately compromised. As we phase out hard copy application, existing members will be asked to renew their membership electronically. When registered, all previously held hard copy application paperwork will be destroyed. An electronic database spreadsheet, as described above, will continue to be maintained and used by the membership secretary.
The ACPGBI secretary will be informed of your new membership status by email. Only your name and contact email address will be shared with the ACPGBI. The Secretary of the ACPGBI may also receive an electronic copy of the current members’ database held by the Membership Secretary for the purpose of administrating a vote for positions across the membership.
We will never sell or share your personal information with organisations so that they can contact you for any marketing activities. We will retain your information for the period of membership. You have the right to request a copy of any information we hold about you and to have that information amended, updated or removed if it is incorrect. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, to request to have your individual data deleted from our records. To request a copy of your personal information we hold, contact us by:
Email: ‘Privacy Notice for the attention of the Membership Secretary of TPFS’ – via info@acpgbi.org.uk
The ACPGBI is also the contact for any professional body who wishes to scrutinise the data control and process within the society.
If requests from third party organisations wish to engage with the membership no information or email addresses will be shared.
Messages should be forwarded to the Membership Secretary from such approaches so that members can engage or remain anonymous
