In addition to this Privacy Notice the club has also issued an annex which sets out where the club obtains the information from and how it is used. This annex is shown below.
Data Usage Annex to Club Privacy Notice. (v3 12/12/19)
This annex should be read in conjunction with the club’s Privacy Notice.
Set out below is the member data held by the club and its usage and safe keeping arrangements.
All information held is required for the proper running of the club and keeping members informed about what is happening at the club.
All the information in Section A has been provided by members on their application or renewal form which is signed and dated.
The information held is as follows
- From the Application/Renewal Form
- Name
- BMFA number
- Address
- Email address if provided
When the club contacts members on any matter the above information will be used. The clubs preferred method of communication is email but if not provided correspondence will be sent by Royal Mail. If the club uses the email address provided all correspondence is sent by BCC (blind carbon copy) which means that the recipient only sees their own email address. The email of other recipients is not shown. This way the club maintains the confidentiality of members’ email addresses if provided.
- Telephone number (if provided) which, if provided, members have agreed to being published in a directory of members also known as a contact list. There is a specific mention of the use of the telephone number on the application/renewal form.
The contact list shows the members name and telephone number if provided and is intended to be used for club matters only and not passed to non-club members. It also indicates which members are committee members, instructors and/or examiners.
- A digital copy of the passport size photograph which is provided by members as part of the application to join the club. This is provided by members so the club can issue personalised TX frequency peg ID laminates with photo.
- BMFA membership details
The other information held is BMFA membership information which is required to ensure that all members of the club are BMFA members as required by the constitution and therefore have suitable insurance cover.
The club does provide a service to members by arranging, if required, their BMFA membership. This is at no additional cost to members, although members are free to arrange their own membership and provide proof of membership to the Membership Secretary. Where the club arranges a member’s BMFA membership that member’s name and address and BMFA number will be passed to the BMFA so they can update their records.
- CAA registration as an operator
Where a member wishes to register with the CAA as an operator through the club, that member must provide the details required by the CAA. These details will be passed to the BMFA who will in turn pass them to the CAA.
- Storage of Data
The Application/Renewal form is retained in hard copy by the Membership Secretary.
The club will use the BMFA “Go Membership” portal to hold members details. This information is held on a central server with appropriate security safe guards. Members can register with the BMFA and access their data. The membership secretary and club secretary will extract the information from this portal to enable contact to be made with the member and to construct a contact list.
The data held by the Membership Secretary and the Club Secretary are stored on their own computers which are password protected and have up to date anti-virus software installed.
- Disclosure of information held
Members’ data held by the club is not passed to any third party apart from the BMFA and CAA( via BMFA) where necessary to process a member’s membership application, CAA registration as an operator or to verify a member’s BMFA membership. The only exception to this is where the club is legally required to pass on the information.
If a member wishes the club to pass any data held by the club to a third party that member must authorise this in writing or by email from the email address held on the membership portal.
