Data protection policy

SLPS collects contact information from its members to enable the smooth running of the Society. This data will be kept secure as specified in General Data Protection Regulations 2018. The data held will not be shared with any third parties, for any reason, other than to meet legal obligations. The only people with access to this data will be members of the committee. This data will only be used to contact you for and on behalf of SLPS. The Society will keep this data whilst membership and permission is maintained.

After this period any data held will be securely deleted. Any person for whom we are holding data has the right to view this data at any time by request and also has the right to withdraw permission for SLPS to hold this data. Upon request all data will be securely deleted from the records.

When entering our competitions;- internal, inter club and exhibitions, SLPS reserve the right to publish your name and title of your picture/image.

SLPS cannot guarantee or accept responsibility for data that is “in transit” over the internet. However, once received, any data will be held securely, where permission has been granted, and used solely within the scope of that permission.

SLPS welcomes junior members and requires the member’s details, for contact purposes. This can only be taken with express permission from a parent or person with legal parental responsibilities for the individual. Contact with the junior member will be in a manner restricted to the wishes, as stated, by the parent or guardian who originally granted relevant permission. Permission for SLPS to hold this information may be rescinded at any time and all data held will be securely deleted from the records.

If at any time an individual feels that SLPS fails to take adequate precautions in the way the data held is used or stored, that individual has the right to complain to the Information Commissioners Office at www.ico.org.uk
