Members handbook and privacy notice update

Members handbook and privacy notice update

Twelve years have passed since the last membership directory was produced. A number of members have moved house or changed their contact details, and many of you felt that it was time for a new one. We are therefore planning a new Handbook, which will contain not just a directory, but all sorts of other useful information. We hope it can be launched in time for the January lunch in 2022. However, because we now live under the rules of GDPR, it will mean a change to our Privacy Notice to allow us to share your data among the membership. 

Announcement: change to Privacy Notice

The new Privacy Notice can be found at www.douaisociety.org/privacynotice. Please note the insertion of the last line: “Publishing and circulating a hard copy and electronic directory, containing members’ home addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers, for the sole benefit of other members.”

Opt-Out

As a matter of record, the names and years of all members will be included in the directory. However, if you wish to opt out of having your address / email / telephone number included alongside, please email me at info@douaisociety.org no later than 30 September 2021. If you think any information we hold might be out of date, please also let me know asap. Otherwise, you do not need to do anything.
