Data Protection statement for members of the societies for which CIRCA acts as a data processor

How we use your personal information
This statement explains how Cambridge International Reference on Current Affairs (CIRCA) Ltd (“CIRCA”) handles and uses data it collects about members of societies for the purpose of handling their membership, which it is commissioned to fulfil by the society concerned.
When changes are made to this statement, we will publish the updated version on our website.
The controller for your personal data remains the society that supplied CIRCA with the data or authorised CIRCA to collect the data.
The legal basis for processing your personal data is for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the society. You may ask us for further information on these matters at any time if you have specific concerns.

How your data is used by CIRCA
CIRCA is commissioned by the individual societies to manage the membership of their members, which involves a number of processes including:
1. Maintaining a database of current and past members, and the interaction with those members;
2. Recording payments (but not bank account or card details);
3. Providing mailing data to a third party mailing house at the request of the society;
4. Requesting renewals of membership;
5. Providing membership lists to a third party printer at the request of the society;
6. Providing information on members to committee members or officers of the society.
If you have concerns or queries about any of these purposes, please contact us.

How CIRCA shares your personal data
CIRCA shares your personal data only with the relevant data controller on whose behalf it acts, unless specified otherwise in the list above and under specific instruction from that data controller.
We back up your personal data on servers within the EU using Ahsay OBM.
The societies each have their own data protection statement and procedures.

Your rights
You have the right: to ask us for access to, rectification or erasure of your data; to restrict processing (pending correction or deletion); to object to communications or direct marketing; and to ask for the transfer of your data electronically to a third party (data portability). Some of these rights are not automatic, and we reserve the right to discuss with you why we might not comply with a request from you to exercise them.
You retain the right at all times to lodge a complaint about our management of your personal data with the Information Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/
