Privacy Policy

Member Communications
We use a third-party provider, E-Shot, to deliver our members newsletters and event invitations. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. As a member you can manage what electronic communications you receive from the club and can unsubscribe at any time.

Who has access to your information?
We do not sell or rent your personal data or information to any third party or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.   We will disclose your data or information if required by law, for example by a court order or for the prevention of fraud or other crime.

We may pass your information on to our third-party service providers for the purposes of completing a task or providing services to you on our behalf (for example preparing and mailing our annual AGM Notices, annual Members’ Guide and postal invitations to specific events).  However, we disclose only the personal information necessary to deliver that service and have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own marketing purposes.

​

Transfers outside of the European Economic Area
Personal information in the European Union is protected by data protection laws but other countries do not necessarily protect your personal information in the same way. The European Economic Area (EEA) covers all countries in the EU plus, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. Some of the third-party providers we use to help us manage our business and services may involve data transferring to the United States or other countries outside of the EEA.

Your Choices and Rights
We understand that you trust us with your personal information and we are committed to ensuring you can manage the privacy and security of your personal information yourself.
With respect to the information relating to you that ends up in our possession, and recognising that it is your choice to provide us with your personally identifiable information, we commit to giving you the ability to do all of the following:

• You can verify the details you have submitted to  Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club by contacting our Steward by email: club@wmbrc.co.uk  or phone 015394 43284.  Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal information, including your e-mail address and possibly your address.

• You can also contact us by the same method to change, correct, or delete your personal information controlled by Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club regarding your membership at any time.

• You are also free to close your membership account by contacting our Steward. If you do so, your membership will be deactivated. However, we may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam).

• You can always feel free to update us on your details at any point by sending an email to club@wmbrc.co.uk

• You can unsubscribe from receiving marketing emails from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email. Once you do this, you will no longer receive any direct marketing emails from us.

• You can request a readable copy of the personal data we hold on you at any time. To do this, please contact us via email club@wmbrc.co.uk

You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing with the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk/)

Keeping your data secure
When you give us personal information we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely and strive to protect it on our internal systems.  We ensure that:

• Up to date antivirus and antimalware is installed on all endpoints across the Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club.

• Security updates and patches are regularly applied to all components of the Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club system.

• Access to physical and digital systems within Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club are restricted to only personal who explicitly need these rights to do their job.

• External CCTV is in place.

Emailing us

We encrypt and protect email traffic and our email system in line with industry best practices including Transport Layer Security (TLS) and broader UK GDPR regulations covering data transmission and storage.  If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.  We will also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.
