Privacy Policy Statement 2024
We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.
This policy sets out how MRBA uses and protects any information that you give us when applying for assistance, become a member or corporate sponsor, participate in events including fund raising events, or to receive our newsletter MRBA Matters. We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page so you should check here from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes.
What we do with the data that we collect
Information collected about applicants for assistance is to enable the MRBA to assess what if any assistance can be provided and to implement that assistance.
Information supplied as part of an application for assistance will be seen in an identified format only by those who need to see it in order to administer your case and communicate with you. This will include the secretary, national cases manager and regional manager and may occasionally include the chair of the management committee.
The information you provide allows us to administer your interaction with the MRBA. We may contact you by newsletter, and also for events, fundraising or general information about the MRBA . You may opt out of being contacted at any time by contacting enquiries@mrba.org.uk.
We will not use your data for any purpose other than that for which it was given.
We will not transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area.
In line with data protection laws, we will use such information appropriately and retain it for no longer than is necessary. We will keep personal data of applicants for assistance (i.e. data that would allow you to be identified as a person, such as your name, telephone number, email address) for 10 years in case of further applications. Personal data relating to members and supporters will be kept for two years beyond the purpose for which it is provided after which it will be removed from our records.
MRBA is the Data Controller for the data you provide.
