At the Annual General Meeting on Thursday 11th April 2019, committee member Louise Nixon gave a short presentation on the Society's new Privacy Policy. She had recently written the document in her role as Data Protection Officer to ensure that the Society complies with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) which relates to the handling and security of personal data.
The Privacy Policy describes members' rights under GDPR, the type of data collected by the Society, and how it is stored and used. It also discusses the Society's website, the issue of photographs taken during Society events and how a member may complain to the United Kingdom's Information Commissioner.
