Welcome to SI SS Region Data Protection Information Page
GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
See reminder in SIGBI Club Mailing 22 01 2021:
On 25 May 2018 a new data protection regulation and data protection act came into force, GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
SIGBI ensured that Clubs were provided with guidance, FAQ’s., a privacy notice, a data protection policy, a complaints process, a data breach policy and a data protection audit form.
In addition to ensuring that each Club has such policies and procedures in place, it is best practice to ensure that once per year you check that you are holding the correct information on your members and that they are happy for you to hold their details and to use them for the purposes of enabling members members to contact each other and to receive information about Club activities.
When should this annual check be done?
This is most easily done at renewal time before A.G.M. by requiring the members to confirm the accuracy of the of their information and agreement to its use.
You should then keep a copy of the response and repeat the exercise each year.
You should remove contact details for those who are no longer members. It is in order to retain a record that they were actually members at the relevant time.
