Introduction
NCDTA is committed to process any personal information it holds only in ways that are fair, transparently and meet its legal obligations, in other words, in accordance with the Data Protection Act and its successor the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
NCDTA will take particular care over email addresses which in addition to the GDPR are subject to the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations (PECR).
Data protection principles
The legislation sets out various data protection principles. These include that personal information is:
The legislation conveys various individual rights. These include the following:
The sections towards the end of this Privacy Notice let you know how you can exercise your rights.
You can read more about your rights at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/.
The following sections describe the information that NCDTA collects and how it is processed. The sections are split according to the type of information.
The legislation requires that there is a clear legal basis for processing personal information. In general NCDTA relies on the individual’s consent in order to process their data. Where there are exceptions such as a legal obligation, contractual agreement or NCDTA’s legitimate interest, they will be noted below.
Please note that if consent is withdrawn the level of service that we can offer might be severely curtailed.
We collect contact details, membership details and qualification details in order to provide membership services.
That includes, but not limited to, the administration of joining and renewals, distribution of the newsletter, organising the annual seminar and AGM, hosting workshops, access to meetings and competitions, access to the examinations service and providing disclosure and barring service checks and registration.
Published in Newsletter
With consent, new members and new professional qualifications are published in NCDTA newsletter.
With consent we email items of news that we believe will be of interest to our members.
We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our e-news items.
If an email address is provided we assume consent to use it for administrative purposes of membership (e.g. notification of membership renewal, processing of examination sessions, etc.).
We will not use it to send you e-news and marketing items without your explicit consent.
Once a member lapses, we retain sufficient information to identify the previous member. This allows the previous membership number to be used again if the member re-joins. NCDTA relies on legitimate interest as the legal basis for retaining this information.
We collect and hold information to administer the taking of qualifications and issuing of certificates to successful candidates. We will hold the certificate information indefinitely so that we can confirm it is genuine to any interested party. There is a public facility on the website to verify certificates.
NCDTA relies on legitimate interest as the legal basis for retaining certificate information.
