This privacy policy will explain how Fastnet Area Beekeepers Association uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website or join our association.
What data do we collect?
The data we routinely collect includes members’ names, phone numbers, email and postal addresses, which we receive directly from members when they join the association. We also collect data when you contact us via our contact form, as well as general website usage information with the use of cookies.
How will we use your data?
We use submitted data to answer queries and for legitimate membership administration purposes. With consent, we provide registered member data to the Irish Bee Foundation for affiliation and insurance purposes. Website usage information is used to improve our web services and to monitor site performance.
How do we store your data?
All reasonable security measures are taken to ensure that your personal data is stored by us in a manner designed to maintain privacy and confidentiality, and to prevent unauthorised access, alteration or deletion.
How long do we retain your data?
Your personal data will be retained for no longer than six prior years, after which it will be destroyed in a manner consistent with best practice at the time. It might be necessary for the membership secretary to keep membership details for a period in excess of six years for insurance purposes only, where the statute of limitations on third party insurance claims exceeds that period.

You are entitled to receive a copy of your personal data on written application to the secretary of this association and/or to the Irish Bee Foundation, and to have any inaccuracies or deficiencies in your data corrected.
You can withdraw your consent to the holding or processing of your personal data at any time, on the understanding that deletion of your data will mean that this association will no longer be able to deliver member services / entitlements to you.
If you feel that your rights in relation to your personal data have been compromised, you are entitled to seek clarification and/or make a complaint to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner at www.dataprotection.ie.
