How we collect your personal data

We collect your personal information by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used. You are free to refuse our request for this information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services without it.

  • When you subscribe to a membership in person or through our website;
  • When you subscribe to our newsletter via our website;
  • When you attend an event organized by us.

How we use your personal data

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data will be used for the following purposes:

Membership

  • Providing and managing your membership with us. Your personal data is required in order for us to enter into a contract with you.
  • Providing and managing your access to our Membership Management System.
  • Supplying services to you.
  • Communicating with you regarding your membership. This may include responding to emails or calls from you.

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email, telephone and/or post with information, news, and offers on our services. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam.

We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out in any correspondence we send.

How long we keep your personal data

We may retain information for a period of six years after your association with us has come to an end. We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, or to improve our services in future, or where we are legally required to do so.

While we retain this data, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and cannot guarantee absolute data security.

As stated below, you have the right to require us to erase personal data.

How we share your personal data

We share your data with external third parties that are based both inside the EEA and outside of the EEA. We will only transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EEA that the European Commission has deemed to provide an adequate level of personal data protection. More information is available from the European Commission.

If any personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR.

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

We do not otherwise share or supply personal information to third parties. We do not sell or rent your personal information to marketers or third parties.

Can I control my personal data?

In addition to your rights under the GDPR, when you submit personal data to us, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails.

Personal data that you may have voluntarily submitted when subscribing for a membership can be updated or partially deleted through the “My Account” space in the Nexudus portal, accessible at https://impacthubbrixton.spaces.nexudus.com/en with your login details. In here, you can also change your communications preferences in everything that is related to the “Community Message Board” hosted by Nexudus. These preferences can also be updated by following the link provided in the footer of every email sent with posts in the Nexudus “Community Message Board”.

Personal data that we have collected for email marketing purposes or for sending you our Newsletter, through Mailchimp, can also be updated by you through the “Update subscription preferences” link included in the footer of every of these communications. Similarly, should you prefer that we don’t contact you anymore for either of these reasons, you can let us know by following the “Unsubscribe from this list” link provided in the footer of every email we send you through Mailchimp.

How can I delete my personal data that you have collected?

According to the GDPR you can, at any time, ask us to delete the personal information we have collected from you under the “right to erasure”. You should understand that, in some circumstances, this will prevent us from providing you the services you have contracted with us. This request should be made by email addressed to team@impactbrixton.com

Barring any lawful obligations or exceptions provided by the GDPR or other laws or regulations, we will strive to comply with your request within the timeframe legally provided. If, for any reason, we understand we should refuse your request to have your data deleted, our decision will be communicated to you with a justification, as provided by the GDPR.

Can I withhold personal data?

You may access our website without providing any personal data at all. However, in order for us to provide a service to you, the personal data set out above is required.

Can I access my personal data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing. There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

What Are My Rights?

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

  • The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data.
  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have.
  • The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
  • The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
  • The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
  • Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more.

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
