EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

 Workington & District Camera Club is what’s known as the ‘controller’ of the personal data you provide to us. We will usually collect basic personal data about you like your name, postal address, telephone number and email address. 

 Why we need it

We collect your personal data in connection with specific activities, such as registration or membership requests, competition entries, and events organised by Workington & District Camera Club. We only collect your personal information when you provide it to us directly.

•         If you have agreed that we may do so.
•         If we submit your images to other named photographic organisations and clubs where your details need to be shared.

We will never sell or rent your personal information to other organisations.

We hold your information only as long as necessary for each purpose we use it.

If you decide not to support Workington & District Camera Club any more or request that we have no further contact with you, we will keep some basic information in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future and to ensure that we don’t accidentally duplicate information.
