Privacy Policy

Sheffield Bach Society (SBS) is committed to protecting your personal data and will use any personal data we collect from you in line with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

Sheffield Bach Society collects data from individuals to help us plan, organise and run our day-to-day operations and to keep them informed about choir activities.

Each communication will include a clear option to withdraw your consent (e.g. to ‘unsubscribe’ or ‘opt out’ of future emails) and you can also withdraw consent at any time by contacting the secretary.

We will never pass your details on to third parties for those third parties to use, eg for their own marketing purposes. 

You can contact us at any time to update or correct the data we hold.

Our policy is to review all information held on individuals on a regular basis and remove it where we no longer have a legitimate reason to keep it. Where you have withdrawn your consent for us to use your data for a particular purpose, we may retain some of your data for up to two years in order to preserve a record of your consent having been withdrawn.

Members

When you join Sheffield Bach Society as a member, or during your membership with us, we may need to collect some information from you, such as name, address, contact details etc.

We will use this information to manage your membership, to organise and run our activities (e.g. co-ordinating events or collecting fees) and to inform you about our activities.

If another member asks for your contact details, we will only ever share them with your permission.

Mailing list

We sometimes contact people who have shown an interest in our activities, in relation to events and activities we organise. In these circumstances will use your name and email to send you information about our events and activities, e.g. forthcoming concerts, social events or the Annual General Meeting.

Other contacts

We also contact individuals as part of the process of arranging concerts and other events, eg, venue managers, concert programmers, orchestra and band administrators, musicians and their agents. In these circumstances we will use your contact details to progress the activity in hand. We will only send you information about our events and activities if you have given us permission to do so.

Third parties

We sometimes use third party services, eg to provide ticketing services such as WeGotTickets. We will always make sure any third parties we use are reputable, secure, and process your data in accordance with the GDPR. We will never allow them to use your data for their own purposes.
