To do so we share your name and the name of your organisation on a list with other attendees at our events and we provide each attendee with a badge to wear at the event showing the same information. The club may also create and distribute photographic and video images of you when promoting the club’s activities.

We may also have to share some of your personal details with the venue hosting the event, to identify any special dietary requirements or special needs. The information you give us may be made available to the authorities as required by UK law, but we will not share or sell your information to any third parties without first seeking your specific permission to do so. By becoming a member of the club, you are giving us your consent to share your name organisation’s name and photographic and video image with other members and guests attending club events and on occasion in the media and on social media.

4.1 Contact forms and email links

Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Contact us page or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors defined in section 7.0. Instead the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.

4.2 Email newsletter

If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third party data processor (see section 7.0 below). The email address that you submit will not be stored within this website’s own database or in any of our internal computer systems.

Your email address will remain within MailChimp’s database for as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list or until your interactions via Mailchimp are deemed inactive. You can remove your details from the newsletter list by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email by contacting dpo@nottinghamcitybusinessclub.co.uk. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.

5.0 HOW WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Any data that is currently stored in an identifiable fashion; a limitation of the content management system that this website is build on (Modex). In the near future we aim to change the storage of this data to a pseudonymous fashion meaning that the data would require additional processing using a separately stored ‘key’ before it could be used to identify an individual.

Pseudonymisation is a recent requirement of the GDPR, which many web application developers are currently working to fully implement. We are committed to keeping it as a high priority and will implement it on this website as soon as we are able to.

If you wish to amend or remove the data, we hold on your behalf please contact our Data Protection Officer on dpo@nottinghamcitybusinessclub.co.uk
