Use of this site is subject to Terms and Conditions and GDPR Policy.
This Privacy Policy has been formulated because of the coming into effect of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and terms used in the GDPR have the same meaning when used in this Policy.
We need to keep and use members’ personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests, that is to enable us to communicate with our members, by sending them such information as newsletters, details of our events (evening seminars and social events), and generally to seek our members’ views or to publicise or improve our services. We respond to concerns from residents as well as working with the authorities to keep the neighbourhood a clean and pleasant place in which to live and work. Examples of the personal data that we keep include a member’s address, telephone number, e-mail address if a member has one, and bank account details. We do not intend to keep special category data.
We try to keep personal data up-to-date but rely on members to provide correct and up-to-date information, and to inform us of any changes. A member has the right to ask us to delete or amend any personal data at any time. We aim not to keep a member’s personal data for more than six years after he or she ceases to be a member unless there is a legal reason to do so.
Personal data is kept secure in a database which is not accessible to others.
We reserve the right to revise this Policy from time to time.

3.0 Personal information that this website collects and why we collect it

Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 6.0 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. FYI our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.
