General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

 

In May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect and governs the way the Society is allowed to communicate with members.  A full explanation is given in the Data Privacy Notice further down this page.  In order to ensure that you receive details of meetings and events, and to enable administration of your membership, the Society needs to know how you would like to stay in touch and is also required to obtain your consent.

 

Let us know how you prefer to hear from us by completing and signing a consent form (download PDF here). Completed forms can be submitted at monthly meetings or to any committee member.   Alternatively, send completed forms to the MHHS Data Controller - obtain postal address from datacontroller@marketharboroughhistoricalsociety.org who can answer data queries and attend to amendments.
