    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, which you may do by contacting us as described in the “Contacting Us” section below.

    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.  Withdrawing consent may also have the same effects as not providing the information in the first place, for example, we may no longer be able to provide certain member benefits to you.

    We share personal information only with the following parties:

    • To the British Mountaineering Council, to enable them to administer membership and insurance on behalf of our membership, and to send copies of their magazine “Summit” to our members.

    TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION INTERNATIONALLY

    The personal information we collect is not transferred to and stored in countries outside of the UK and the European Union

    HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

    The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long-term basis: for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements.  Generally, where there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of [6] years after your last contact with us or the end of your membership.  Exceptions to this rule are:

    • Information that may be relevant to personal injury or discrimination claims may be retained until the limitation period for those types of claims has expired.  For personal injury or discrimination claims this can be an extended period as the limitation period might not start to run until a long time after the event.

    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. You can contact us by using the details set out in the “Contacting Us” section below.

    YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

    You have the following rights in relation to your personal information:

    • the right to be informed about how your personal information is being used;
    • the right to access the personal information we hold about you;
    • the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you;
    • the right to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited circumstances;
    • the right to restrict the processing of your personal information where certain requirements are met;
    • the right to object to the processing of your personal information;
    • the right to request that we transfer elements of your data to you or to another service provider; and
    • the right 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 by using the details set out in the “Contacting us” section below.

    If you are unhappy with the way we are using your personal information you can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your local data protection regulator. We are here to help and encourage you to contact us to resolve your complaint first.

    CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE

    We may update this privacy notice from time to time. When we change this notice in a material way, we will update the version date at the bottom of this page. For significant changes to this notice, we will try to give you reasonable notice unless we are prevented from doing so. Where required by law we will seek your consent to changes in the way we use your personal information.
