Legitimate Interest Policy

The Scriveners Company holds records of the names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers and dates of birth of its members. The Company believes it is necessary to hold this data in order to communicate with its members on activities, events, subscription levels, future plans, governance, general livery matters and the distribution of the Company newsletter, whether by post or by electronic mail.

The Company believes that its members expect to receive communications of this nature as part of the purpose of being a Scrivener and that the Company therefore has a legitimate interest in holding such data. All members of the Company have the right of access to a copy of their personal data as held by the Company and to have inaccurate personal data corrected or deleted.

If there has been a breach of the Data Protection Act, members have a right of complaint to the Information Commissioner (https://ico.org.uk) and/or to claim damages. Approved by the Court of Assistants on 30 January 2019. For information on this policy or to request subject access please contact the Clerk.
