Privacy policy

What data do we hold?

We collect and store the minimum information necessary for us to carry out our functions and to enable you to participate in our activities.

If you join us as a member, we keep your name and contact details on a password-protected electronic document which is only accessible by CBG Committee members. When a member of the committee steps down, their access is revoked.

If you sign up to our newsletter, we have to share your details with the list server service EmailOctopus, which is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and GDPR compliant. They do not share your email with anyone else and nor do we (including with other members). You can leave the email list at any time and we will delete your data.

If you participate in our activities, we may request your name and contact details (a phone number and/or email address) to keep you up to date with arrangements for the activities.

We keep your information until you tell us to remove it, or until the group is dissolved, whichever is earlier. You can contact us at any time to check what personal data we hold relating to you, ask for it to be amended, or ask for it to be deleted
