BSDFAS and the Data Protection Act
Bishop’s Stortford Decorative and Fine Arts Society is not required to register with the Information Commissioners’ Office as it is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization. It is also no longer necessary for it to obtain written permission to hold members' details on a database, be it an electronic or paper one. However, it is necessary to inform members about what it might do with the data it holds. The following wording was drafted with the advice of the Information Commissioners' Office: - a) Members' details will be processed fairly and lawfully and in accordance with the Society's legitimate activities. b) Members' details will be disclosed to NADFAS for the purposes of mailing the quarterly magazine NADFAS Review.
The rationale behind these two paragraphs is as follows: a) The wording of the first paragraph is lifted directly from the Data Protection Act. Its purpose is to reassure members that information will be processed in accordance with the law and their details will only be used for the Society's activities. b) This paragraph is essential as all Societies share their members' details with NADFAS for the purposes of mailing the NADFAS Review and essential committee communication such as the Societies Bulletin. NADFAS only uses your members' details for the mailing the magazine. NADFAS does not share members' details with anyone else.
