4. Consent

4.1. We will seek the applicants consent on their submission to the GSAS.

4.2. The person may withdraw their consent at any time by contacting us by e-mail or in person to tell us that they no longer wish their details to be retained by the GSAS.

5. How We Protect Your Personal Data

5.1. We will not transfer your personal data outside the EU without your consent.

5.2. Personal data is held by the GSAS for the administration of the show and communication with members on a one-to-one basis on matters concerning the Show.

5.3. Email circulation data is held on a password-protected computer, using a bulk list so that individual details are not seen by mail recipients.

5.4. No individual will hold more data than is required for the execution of their duties for the GSAS.

5.5. Please note however that where you are transmitting information to us over the Internet this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

5.6. We will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you to serious risk.

6. Who Else Has Access to the Information You Provide Us?

6.1. We will never sell your personal data. We will not share your personal data with any third parties without your prior consent (which you are free to withhold) except where we are required to do so by law or as set out in the table above or in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3 above.

6.2. We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, agents and subcontractors to us for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (e.g. to print letters and send you forms).

We do this for the purpose of our legitimate interests in operating the GSAS and for performing our contract with you. However, we disclose only the personal data that is necessary for the third party to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own purposes. It is possible that third parties may themselves engage others (sub- processors) to process your data. Where this is the case third parties will be required to have contractual arrangements with their sub-processor(s) that ensure your information is kept secure and not used for their own purposes.

7. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

7.1. We will hold your personal data on our systems for as long as you are involved with the GSAS and for as long afterwards as it is in the GSAS’s legitimate interest to do so or for as long as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

7.2. We will review your personal data every year to establish whether we are still entitled to process it. If we decide that we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with future legal obligations e.g. compliance with tax requirements and exemptions, and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

7.3. We securely destroy all financial information once we have used it and no longer need it.

8. Your Rights

You have rights under the GDPR: to access your personal data, to be provided with information about how your personal data is processed, to have your personal data corrected, to  have your personal data erased in certain circumstances, to object to or restrict how your personal data is processed, to have your personal data transferred to yourself or to another business in certain circumstances.
