The GDPR requires an organization that collects, stores and processes the Personal Data of Data Subjects should clearly establish the Lawful Basis for carrying out the processing of the data. There are seven Lawful Bases defined by the GDPR under which an organization can process Personal Data . These are Consent, Contract, Legal Obligation, Vital Interests, Public Tasks, Legitimate Interests, and Special Categories of Data including Criminal Offence Data. A full discussion of each of these can be found on the UK Government Information Commissioners Office webpage at the following URL; https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/principles/.

After due consideration of the Processing (see below) to be carried out on the Personal Data of Members, King Alfred Probus Club found two Legal Bases that apply. These are Consent and Legitimate Interests. Of these Consent was chosen as the most appropriate and each Member will be formally sent the required documents setting out the detail of the Lawful Basis, the items for which consent is required and her/his rights regarding the Personal Data collected.

King Alfred Probus Club has Members drawn from many professions and vocations who are now retired or semi-retired. The Club meets monthly to enjoy fellowship over a good meal and listen to an interesting after-lunch talk. Throughout the year the Club, via its Committee, organizes many external events and activities for its Members. The Committee is responsible for administering the finances of the Club, for communicating with Members and the general public via its website. Members communicate with other Members, the Officers and the Committee and also the Webmaster on all matters of interest and organization. The Club supports its members wherever and whenever possible and is developing strong social network links to the community at large.

In support of Members and the activities of the Club the Personal Data of Members will be used in the following ways.

* To maintain a list of Members of the Club
* To administer the membership of the Club
* To administer the finances of the Club
* To administer the annual programme of the Club

To facilitate this communication, without individuals having access to every email address, group email addresses will be defined and used. The Webmaster maintains the master list of email addresses and group email addresses on the secure website hosting service (see below).

King Alfred Probus Club will retain its Members’ Personal Data for the period during which they apply for membership, become members and/or associate members of the Club.

The retiring members personal data may be retained on an archive membership list for historical reasons unless the member, or the members next of kin, has specifically requested otherwise.
