How do you use my personal data?

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business/organisation interests to use it. Your personal data will only be used for the following purposes:

​

• Communicating with you. This may include responding to emails or calls from you.

​

• Supplying you with information by email that you have opted-in to (you may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time either directly from the email or contacting enquiries@sfgc.org.uk)

​

With your permission, and where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email, post or telephone with information, and news. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out.
 

How and where do you store or transfer my personal data?

Your personal data is stored within the SFGC secure web site, hosted by Wix.

Wix states:

"Wix has servers all over the world, including Europe and the United States, as well as backup servers in multiple locations.

If the Processing of the User Customer Data involves transfer of such data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and the European data protection regulations apply to the transfers of such data, these transfers will be conducted in compliance with all applicable data protection regulations”

​

This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or to equivalent standards by law.
 

Do you share my personal data?

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes without your express permission.

How can I access my personal data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a ‘subject access request’. Please contact contact@sfgc.org.uk
