The Tetbury Art Society (“TAS”) values your privacy and respects your wishes.

If you give us your personal data, like your name, email address, and reason for joining TAS, we will hold this data securely and will not share or sell it to anyone.

We communicate with you in accordance with your preferences. You can change your communications preferences at any time, by emailing us at ku.gro.yteicostrayrubtet@costrayrubtet to let us know.

“Personal data” means any and all data that relates to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified from that data. In this case, it means personal data that you give to us through forms on our website, in emails and surveys, and in your other communication with TAS.

“We/Us/Our” means TAS

This Privacy Policy applies your use of the TAS website and any personal data that you provide directly to TAS. Our site may contain links to other websites, but we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites not owned and operated by us.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and applicable UK data protection laws, including but not limited to the Data Protection Act 2018, the data controller is TAS

Your Rights

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the GDPR, which this Privacy Policy and Our use of personal data have been designed to uphold:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it. You can also withdraw your consent, where this is the basis for our processing your data (without affecting the lawfulness of our previous processing based on consent).
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to another party.

Please note that the above rights are not absolute and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply.
