In relation to your use of the website, the information will be collected and processed by Squarespace.com for the purposes of collating the analytics on usage of the website.
Other than Squarespace.com, HVS will be the only person to process your data, which we will retain ourselves. Internally, your information will be provided to individual committee members to enable them to organise activities or events, and to contact you. Such individuals will not be allowed to use your personal data which we collect other than for the limited purposes set out in the paragraph headed “How we will use your personal data” and then only to the extent necessary to carry out the activities of HVS.
If we suspect criminal or unlawful activity, HVS may pass personal data we have collected on you to law enforcement agencies.
Your right to unsubscribe
We will contact you only by those methods you have consented to us using. You have the right at any time to withdraw your consent to HVS contacting you by any particular means or at all, by contacting HVS.
Your rights in relation to your personal data
You have the right to see the personal data HVS holds on you. You can do so by writing to us. We will provide you with a copy of all the personal data we hold about you.
If you feel any of the personal date we hold on you is incorrect, you may ask us to amend the incorrect data in writing, telling us what is incorrect and how it should be amended.
We will ask you each year on membership renewal to confirm your contact details, to ensure we keep these up to date. However, we would ask you to contact us if you do change any of your contact details or if you cease to be a member by moving out of Hankham or Rickney.
Retention of data
We will retain your data for as long as we are legally obliged to keep records in the event of a dispute arising between you and HVS. If you cease to be a member or ask to unsubscribe to receiving information from us, then your data will not be used by us for any reason whatsoever.
We have put in such technical and organisational measures as necessary to keep your data secure and to ensure that it is not used for any reason other than to enable HVS to meet its legal obligations to you or for uses to which you have consented and not withdrawn that consent.
