Personal data collected
The data we routinely collect includes names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers of residents of Boars Hill who are eligible for membership in terms of the BHA constitution and also subscription and other financial contributions receivable in respect of BHA sponsored activities.
Use of data
We use residents’ data for the administration of the Association; the communication of information, and the organisation of events.
Sharing of data
Our data is used only for BHA administration and your personal data is not shared with any other organisation or passed on by us for use by any third parties.
Source of the data
Data is usually provided by eligible residents themselves.
Storage of data
BHA personal record data is mainly stored in digital form on computers and also in the form of written documents both kept at the home of the BHA Treasurer / Membership Secretary.
Responsibility for compliance with the relevant laws and regulations
Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) we do not have a statutory requirement to have a Data Protection Officer. The person who is responsible for ensuring the BHA discharges its obligations under the GDPR is the Hon Treasurer / Membership Secretary: Colin Weyer F.C.A.
Access to personal data
Other members of the committee of the BHA may be given access to residents’ data, excluding email contact information, on an ad hoc basis and strictly on a need to know basis in order for them to carry out their legitimate tasks for the Association.
Legal basis for collecting of personal data
The BHA collects personal data that is necessary for the purposes of its legitimate interests as a residents’ association.
Checking what data we hold about you
If you want to know the basic membership data we hold about you, you should contact the Treasurer.
You can contact us with a “Subject Access Request” if you want to ask us to provide you with any other information we hold about you. If you are interested in any particular aspects, specifying them will help us to provide you with what you need quickly and efficiently. We are required to provide this to you within one month.
There is not usually a fee for this, though we can charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative cost of providing the information if a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or for requests for further copies of the same information.
Collection of “special” data
The GDPR refers to sensitive personal data as “special categories of personal data”.
The BHA does not normally record any such special data; the only data we might record would relate to the disability of a resident who might have special requirements for access to BHA sponsored events or who might have allergies details of which those catering for a BHA sponsored event might need to be made aware. Such information would only be recorded following an explicit request by or on behalf of the resident concerned. If you wish to change this data on your record you can do so at any time by contacting the Treasurer.
Requesting for data to be removed, limited or corrected
You can limit how your data is used.
-
-
-
- If you wish you can become an “anonymous” resident. This would involve you having a pseudonym. If you do this however, you would not be eligible to participate in BHA events nor receive email communications.
- Even though your real name is recorded, you may choose not to receive information emails from the BHA.
-
-
These options can be implemented by contacting the Treasurer.
Length of time personal data is kept
We normally keep residents’ data whilst they are resident on Boars Hill or, being eligible as a former resident, where they have asked to remain a member of the BHA. However, we will delete any former member’s contact details entirely on request.
Other data, such as that relating to subscriptions is usually kept for six years.
Deceased residents
If a resident dies we do not normally remove their information. If requested by their next-of-kin to delete it we will do so on the same basis as when requested to remove data by a former resident.
