What data to we collect?
The Midmar Men’s Shed (hereafter “The Shed”) maintains a small database of information on it’s members; this is namely for charity reporting and fundraising purposes. Only your full name and an email address are required when joining The Shed. Other personal contact details can be submitted at each member’s discretion.
Trustees and Management Committee members may have to provide additional personal information from time to time, depending on the requirements of official paperwork, fundraising, or any other charity-related activities. This information will be requested from the relevant individuals on an ad-hoc basis and will never be stored in any of the Midmar Men’s Shed’s records.
How do we collect your Data?
You directly provide The Shed with the data we collect, through the Membership Application Form.
Some cookies may be collected by our website host (wordpress); however, The Shed is not privy to this information.
How will we use your data?
The Shed collects minimal personal data so that we can report on membership numbers. This is a requirement for OSCR charity reporting, and can be useful for fundraising.
Your contact information will be used only to contact you directly; primarily to advise of upcoming meetings, or any other relevant activities of The Shed.
For bulk email communications we will use the BCC function to prevent your email address being released to other members. Subsequent emails between The Shed members are excluded from this policy as we have no control over the use of your email address by any member who may separately learn of it.
We will never share your data with third-parties, unless legally obliged to do so.
How so we store your data?
The database of members is securely stored in a password-protected spreadsheet, within our cloud storage system. Only the relevant Trustees and Management Committee members have access to this information.
The Shed will keep the personal data that you provide for the duration of your membership. If you decide to cancel your membership, all personal data held against your listing will be deleted within 4 weeks of your request to cancel.
Marketing
As stated above, we will never forward your data to third parties or use it for marketing purposes.
