Where your data is stored

Keeping your data secure

Sending information over the internet is generally not completely secure, and we can’t guarantee the security of your data while it’s in transit.

Any data you send is at your own risk.

We have procedures and security features in place to keep your data secure once we receive it. We may pass on your personal information if we have a legal obligation to do so.

We won’t share your information with any other organisations for marketing, market research or commercial purposes, and we don’t pass on your details to other websites without your specific approval.

E-Newsletter

We use a third party provider, Mailchimp, to deliver our quarterly e-newsletters and emails to all members and volunteers. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us know how many people are engaging with us. For more information, please see Mailchimp’s privacy notice.
