Privacy Policy
We hold Personal Data of our Members for the legitimate purpose of providing them with the benefits of membership. This includes contacting them with updates about the events and activities of the Huguenot Society and about their subscription to the Irish Section of the Huguenot Society. We share Member details with our parent organisation, The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland, for the same purposes.
We make every effort to ensure the safety and security of our Members’ data. Any Member may write to us at huguenotsociety@hotmail.com to request that we change, update or remove their data from our mailing lists at any time. While we are staffed by volunteer members, we do endeavour to ensure that any such requests are responded to within a reasonable time-frame.
The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland publishes a book from time to time that includes Members’ Personal Data. Prior to publication, they contact Members to ask for their permission to include their Personal Data in that publication.
