What is our legal basis for using
your information?
There are a number of lawful reasons for us to process your
personal data.
One of these is called 'legitimate interest' and
means that we can process your personal data if (i) we have a
genuine and legitimate reason; and (ii) are not harming any of
your rights and interests.
We will use your personal data for the purposes
of the administration of the Lodge and to give you the most
appropriate information and services, to provide you with the best
experience when dealing with us and for the purposes set out in
the How we might use your information section of this
notice.
Whenever we process your personal data for our
legitimate interests, we will consider and balance any potential
impact on you and your rights under data protection law.
Other legal bases that we will
rely on include the following:
-
If you enter into a contract with us, we may
process your personal data in order to fulfill our contract
with you.
-
If we are providing you with promotional
e-mail communications, we will do so with your consent. You
can ask us not to send such e-mail communications with you at
any time by using the details below in the 'Contact Us'
section.
-
Where we are required to comply with our
legal obligations, or to establish and defend our legal
rights, or to prevent and detect crimes such as fraud.
Where we use special categories of personal data,
for example, information about your health, we may ask for your
consent to such use. However, sometimes, there may be reasons that
enable us to use this information without consent, for example, in
the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Sometimes your personal data may be used for
statistical purposes, but only in a form that no longer identifies
you, or for historical purposes.
How long will we hold your
information for?
We will hold your personal data on our systems for as long as is
necessary to fulfill the purposes that we collected it for.
By law, we are required to retain certain
information for a prescribed period of time. In circumstances
where there are no such legal requirements, to determine the
appropriate retention period, we will consider the amount, nature
and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm
from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the
purposes for which we are processing your personal data and
whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
Therefore, some information may be kept for more
or less time depending on how long we reasonably feel it is
required for.
We review our retention periods for personal data
on a regular basis.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your
personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you)
for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this
information indefinitely without further notice to you.
If you ask us to delete your information in
accordance with your rights set out below, we will retain basic
information on a suppression list to record your request and to
avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.
Who we might share your
information with
We will NOT sell your personal data to any third
parties.

selected third parties including:
-
Grand Lodge, Daughter Lodges,
Provincial and District Grand Lodges and other Masonic Orders

-
Other companies within our group where we
have a legal basis to do so, for example, if wish to reside in

sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter
into with them or you.

obligation or when data is requested by our regulators or by
government agencies or law enforcement agencies;

stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area
("EEA") for the purposes described in this policy. It

among other things, the processing of your payment details and the
provision of support services. By submitting your personal data,
you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
If we do this, your personal information will continue to be
subject to one or more appropriate safeguards set out in the law,

regulators. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure
that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this
privacy policy.

particular situation which makes you want to object to
