VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
For your membership to continue, please read what you are asked to do
The changing law protects the rights of UK citizens and residents but applies to data relating to members everywhere.
On 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force. This Legal Regulation controls the relationship between the individual members and Wiltshire Family History Society (WFHS) in respect of the personal data which they have provided. The Society needs to hold the data in order to administer the Society’s activities and finances, to communicate with its members, and to keep them informed about the Society’s activities.
What you are asked to do
The GDPR requires the Society to obtain your specific consent to your data being held under the following Data Protection Policy. Without your consent we are unable to hold your data and your membership will, in effect, come to an end.
Data Protection Policy – The Society is registered under the UK’s Data Protection Act. Membership records and related subscription payment details are held on a computer database for Society use only and will not be passed to third parties. The Society also maintains a computer database of members’ surname interests. A condition of accepting surname interests from members is that the interests are published in the Society’s journal, together with the member’s name, postal and email addresses. Surname interests are also published on the Society’s website, but with a membership reference number only. Enquirers who request contact with a member in connection with their surname interests will be provided only with that member’s name, postal and email addresses.
Please provide your consent soon:
