Personal Information Form

The Imp Club, Data Protection and Your Information.

The Imp Club Ltd treats the privacy of its members and website users very seriously and we take appropriate security measures to safeguard your privacy. This page and our Privacy Policy explains how we protect and manage any personal data you share with us including how we collect, process, protect and share that data.

Please take the time to read this page and the Privacy Policy – this can be viewed or downloaded below. As a Club Member it is important that you know and understand your rights and responsibilities to ensure you and your Club are working together to safeguard your information.

Data protection has always been a corner stone of the security put in place by the Club in order to protect your information, but now with the introduction of new data protection legislation we are now doubly focussing our efforts on ensuring that your data remains secure in the ever shifting world of cyber security.

The new laws are designed to protect you, the ‘Data Subject’, by providing you with a whole raft of new rights to enable you to control what personal data you permit organisations to hold, what they do with it and how or who they share it with. The Imp Club, as Data Controller, has and will continue to take seriously the responsibility of how we handle your information, ensuring we secure it and use it properly.

With all this in mind every organisation needs to have a clear, concise and transparent Privacy Policy in place. This is a document that explains everything you need to know about how the Club manages your information. It is important for you to note that the lawful basis we are using to collect your data is for the performance of a Contract. This is because you are paying us for a service. In order for us to deliver that service we need to obtain from you certain key bits of information. In order for you to receive your regular copy of Impressions you must give us your name and address. Without it we cannot send your Impressions in the post and we would be failing in our duty to you as a member of the Club.

Throughout your membership we will be checking regularly with you to ensure that your wishes remain relevant. The Policy also explains how long we hold your data after you leave the Club and full details of who we share your information with. The sharing is limited and restricted directly to Club related activities. We do not carry out any direct marketing, sell your information on share it with other organisation not identified in the Policy.

Have a question?

A lot of what you may need to know is covered and explained in the Privacy Policy, but if you have any questions or queries which are not answered by the Policy, or have any potential concerns about how we may use the personal data we hold, please contact us using the dedicated data protection form.
