Where you have given us your consent to use your personal information in a particular manner, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. To stop receiving the Newsletter and have your email address removed from the list follow the instructions on the Newsletter. In any other case see the contact details.
Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal information to the extent that we are entitled to do so on bases other than your consent.
5. Direct Marketing
We will not contact you with marketing information other than about ABCDFS. If you wish to be removed from our contact list please let us know as described in contact details.

The personal information we collect is not transferred to and stored in countries outside of the UK and the European Union.
8. How long do we keep your personal information for
We need to retain records in order to properly administer and manage your membership and run the Society. We will not normally keep the personal information we collect about membership for more than three years from the last contact from you. If you have supplied an email address in order to be sent our Newsletter this information will remain until you unsubscribe or will be removed after the email address is deemed “undeliverable”. Information about payments you have made or received will be kept for four years.
It is important to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date, and you should let us know if anything changes, for example if you change your phone number or email address.
9. Your rights in relation to personal information
You have the following rights in relation to your personal information:
- to be informed about how your personal information is being used
- to access the personal information we hold about you
- to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you
- to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited circumstances
- to restrict processing of your personal information where certain requirements are met
- to object to the processing of your personal information
- to request that we transfer elements of your data either to you or another service provider
- to object to certain automated decision-making processes using your personal information
You should note that some of these rights, for example the right to require us to transfer your data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision making, may not apply as they have specific requirements and exemptions which apply to them and they may not apply to personal information recorded and stored by us. For example, we do not use automated decision making in relation to your personal data. However, some have no conditions attached, so your right to withdraw consent or object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.
Whilst this privacy notice sets out a general summary of your legal rights in respect of personal information, this is a very complex area of law. More information about your legal rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/.
To exercise any of the above rights, or if you have any questions relating to your rights, please contact us as described in contact details..
