Your right to privacy is important to us.  We keep your data private and secure. We do not sell or give your details to anyone else. We hold data about you because we have worked together or learned together, or because you have asked to receive messages from us.  We are our own data controllers for the database on our leader's computer.

This privacy policy provides details about what information we collect and why, how we secure the information, how long we keep it, and how you can ask me to delete it.

This policy is based on the requirements of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Here are our answers to the key GDPR questions:

What information do we collect?

Our database is our CRM. Depending on how long we have been connected, we may have only an email address or a phone number—or we may have much more information. 

Here are some of the pieces of contact data we may have on our contacts:

• Your email address.
• An alternative email address—in case the first one fails.
• An old email address—in case the second one fails.
• Your landline phone number at work.
• Your landline phone number at home.
• Your mobile phone number for work.
• Your personal mobile phone number.
• Your postal address at work—often because you asked me to send you something.
• Your postal address at home—often because you asked me to send you something.
• The name of your organization.
• Your job title.
• Other contact data

We must get positive consent from you to add you to our system, as well as give you a clear way to remove yourself from my database. 

Why do we collect the information?

• To stay in touch. We connect regularly with people we've met.
• To share information through blogs, newsletters and other means.  
• To offer you an opportunity—to get a book or attend a workshop. 

How do we secure the information?

Although nothing that you or we send over the internet is 100% secure, here is our commitment to security:

• We will keep your data secure and private.
• We will never sell your data or share it with third parties.
• We will allow you to unsubscribe at any time.
• We will provide a file containing all the date I hold on you—if you so request.

You have rights—called Data Subject Rights—and you can find out more about them at https://ico.org.uk Among those rights is the right to be forgotten. If you want me to remove some or all of the data we have about you, just email me with that request and we will remove that data.

Here is a list of your rights:

• Right of access – to request access to your personal information
• Right to rectification – to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate and to have incomplete personal information completed
• Right to erasure (also known as the Right to be Forgotten) – to have your personal information erased
