PRIVACY POLICY

www.bushywood.org.uk and Eastbourne District Scout Council take the issue of privacy very seriously and we are committed to protecting and respecting our users’ privacy. This Privacy Statement sets out our current data processing practices and should be read in conjunction with our terms and conditions.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding these practices, please contact us.

To support our activities, we need to collect and retain certain data. The “General Data Protection Regulation” (GDPR) dictates how we must treat this data, and one of the things it requires is that we publish a Privacy Notice, that describes to you (the “data subject” – the person whose data we hold) what data we hold, and what we do with it. This document is that Privacy Notice.

Data Controller
The “Data Controller” is the person or organisation responsible for managing the data. For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, the Data Controller is Eastbourne District Scout Council. We can be contacted by clicking the Contact button on the menu above.

Why do we collect data?
The information we collect is used to ensure that we provide the best service to our members and site visitors, by enabling us to operate our contact, site registration and event registration systems effectively, and to enable us to communicate with you. We will collect and use your personal data in our legitimate interests (specifically, it helps us to provide our facilities to you, in a safe, effective and appropriate manner).

What data do we hold?
We keep data about our members and registered site users. The data includes some or all of the following: name, address, telephone numbers, email address. We do not hold financial data.

Where do we get the data from?
In most cases, the information we hold about a data subject is provided by our members and registered site users.

Who has access to the data?
The data is generally accessible to designated officers of Eastbourne District Scout Council, and to no one else. We do not share this information with other organisations (unless legally required to do so).

The information is held on a computer system, to ensure that it is readily accessible to everyone that may need it, and that it can easily be kept up to date and accurate. The data is protected by a system of permissions and passwords, to ensure that the data is not accessible to people who should not have access.

How can a subject know what data is held?
You may see a copy of the data we hold about you and you may ask that we correct any inaccuracies.

You may ask that we delete the data. However, we may deem that the data (or some of it) should be retained, for example, financial records.

If you want to do either of these things, or if you require any further information, please contact the Data Controller by clicking the Contact button on the menu above.
