Royal Tunbridge Wells Choral Society (RTWCS) Privacy Statement

Why do we need your data?
We need to collect and store some of your details, for example your name and email address, so that we can let you know about things like rehearsal and event dates, subscription payments, and social events.

What data do we collect from members?
We collect some of the following types of data from members:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Postal address
  • Phone number
  • Photos/video footage
  • Subscription payments
  • Gift Aid declarations

We check what data we have on members every two years and remove it if we no longer need it. If you leave the group, we’ll make sure we stop using and/or delete any data except that which we are obliged to keep (e.g. for financial reporting).

What do we use it for?
Any of the information listed above might be needed to manage your membership with RTWCS and to organise and run our activities. We will never use this data for anything else unless you give us your active consent for that additional use. If you give us your consent, RTWCS will add your email to our mailing list for the group’s marketing/promotional communications. We will always include opt-out options on all such communications. You can withdraw your consent at any point by contacting the Data Controller.

Do we share your data with anyone else?

  • We will never give your data to third parties for that third party to use.
  • We will sometime use third party services (e.g. Google Drive) to store or process your data. We will always make that they are reputable and secure, and that your data is kept safe.
  • If another member of RTWCS asks for your contact details we will never give out such details unless you give us your consent.

What can you ask us to do?
At any time you can ask to view, update or correct any data we hold on you. You can also ask that we stop using your data or that we erase it. To request any of these, please contact the Data Controller who will respond within one month.

I’ve got a question– who should I speak to?
The best person to speak to is the Data Controller
