This Privacy Policy applies if you’re a member, volunteer, customer, employee or supporter or use any of our services, visit our online facilities such as websites or apps, email, call or write to us.  We may, in certain circumstances, provide specific privacy notices related to individual items but they will always refer to this privacy policy. We will never sell your data and will only share it with companies when it is necessary, there is a legitimate interest, or where explicit consent has been given and the privacy and security of the data is assured. We will continue to monitor our processes and if, in certain circumstances, we need to update our privacy policy we will notify you.   About us CAMRA is considered one of the most successful consumer campaigns ever. Our aim is to have good quality real ale, ciders and perries and to have thriving pubs and clubs in every community. We are independent, not-for-profit and non-party political.   Who we are CAMRA (the data controller) is a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales: 01270286. We are a registered data controller with the Information Commissioners Office. Our ICO register number is: Z7458368. Any reference to ‘us’, ‘we’, ‘our’, ‘data controller’ is in reference to CAMRA.  Any reference to ‘data subject’ is in reference to individuals whose data we process. If you have any Data Protection concerns you can direct them to our Data Protection Officer at dataprotection@camra.org.uk  or call 01727 798437   What data we collect and how we use it Our three key reasons for collecting data to then be processed are listed below.

• Administration and technical support of your membership
• Fulfillment of a purchase
• To provide information requested about a specific interest

We will ask for relevant information to enable us to fulfill our obligation to you or provide the service requested. Personal Data – Personal data is information that can be used to identify a living individual or as part of a set of information that, used together, can identify an individual. This will normally include title, name, address, age and contact details which includes email, postal address and telephone number. Your CAMRA membership number, once assigned to your member record, is personal data. We will also process payment details in accordance with the relevant regulations. Sensitive Personal Data – This includes, but is not limited to, racial or ethnic origin, political belief, sexual orientation. We do not request or hold this type of data. We do hold some medical information relevant to a role being undertaken e.g. a beer festival may request any medical information you feel is relevant before working at a beer festival. During the process of data collection we will ask for your consent to enable us to contact you with information about our campaigns, industry-related news, products and services available to you, festivals, information about real ale (cider and perry and pubs), to be contacted by your local branch, fundraising and keep you informed about related products, services and events from our partners. These choices form your marketing communication preferences and will determine the type of information we send you. Your consent will be, where possible, requested at the point you supply the data. We may request your data for a single specific use, such as staffing at a beer festival or supplying your email address to support a campaign, but will always refer back to this privacy policy.   Personal data created by your involvement with us Your activities related to your involvement with us will result in personal data being created and held. This could include details of how you have volunteered or how you are involved with our campaigns and activities. We will analyse the data that you provide so that we can communicate with you more effectively and better understand your preferences and ability to support the campaign.   Volunteers We may request data from you specifically related to volunteer activities you undertake (e.g. references, criminal records, details of emergency contacts, medical conditions etc.). The data requested will be related to the activity undertaken. The information will be retained for legal or contractual reasons and are in place to safeguard both us and you.   Children’s Personal Data We do not have policy of preventing under 18’s from joining CAMRA. CAMRA offers a concessionary membership for anyone under the age of 26 and therefore require a date of birth to be held on member records. Anyone under the age of 18 will not be included in any direct marketing. We will send items related to the membership such as member card and some postal items.   Legal basis for processing your data In order to process your information we must have a lawful reason for doing so. The four most common reasons why we process your data are as follows;

• Contractual

• a contract with you to provide a service or product. We will use your personal data accordingly e.g. to send you your membership card, an item you have purchased.

• your express consent that we have on record to allow us to send you specific communications.
• a legal obligation e.g. to process payments and store data in accordance with financial regulations.

  What is Legitimate Interest This is the legal ground for us to process your personal information if we have a genuine and legitimate reason for doing so.

For additional information on how you can manage which cookies are used by CAMRA, please see cookiechoices.org. Some CAMRA websites use Third party vendors, including Google, which use cookies to serve ads based on a your previous visits to our website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

CAMRA Apps – Please visit Apps for more information.  IOS and Android platforms have their own privacy terms which are subject to be accepted by the user. Links to other websites – Our website may, from time to time, feature links to websites of partners, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow these links please note these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for them. This privacy policy relates only to the personal data collected by CAMRA.   How we secure your data Information system and data security is imperative to us to ensure that we are keeping our customers, members, volunteers, employees and contractor safe. We operate a robust and thorough process for assessing, managing and protecting new and existing systems which ensures that they are up to date and secure against the ever changing threat landscape. Our staff complete mandatory information security and data protection training as part of an induction process and annually thereafter to reinforce responsibilities and requirements set out in our information security policies. When you trust us with your data we will always keep your information secure to maintain your confidentiality. By utilising strong encryption when your information is stored or in transit we minimize the risk of unauthorised access or disclosure; when entering information on our website, you can check this by right clicking on the padlock icon in the address bar.   Payment card security CAMRA has an active PCI-DSS compliance programme in place. This is the international standard for safe card payment processes. As part of our compliance to this very stringent standard, we ensure that our IT systems do not directly collect or store payment card information; for example the full 16 digit number on the front of the card or the security code on the back. We regularly undergo compulsory system scans to ensure our compliance. Our online payment solutions are carried out using a ‘payment gateway’ (e.g. Sagepay) which is a direct connection to a payment service provided by a bank. This means that when you input card data into the payment page, you are communicating directly with the bank and the bank passes your payment to us, this means that your payment card information is handled by the bank and not processed or held by us

CCTV is used to provide security and the detection of crime. It is there to protect both our members and visitors and CAMRA. CCTV will be only be viewed when necessary (e.g. to detect or prevent crime) and footage is stored for a set period of time after which it is recorded over.  CAMRA complies with the Information Commissioner’s Office CCTV Code of Practice and we put up notices so you know when CCTV is used.   What to do if you are not happy If you are unhappy with anything related to your personal information please contact us directly so that we can resolve any problem or query.
