This privacy notice is issued to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and any other legislation that applies to data protection. In order to communicate with supporters/subscribers of FreeBar by email, one designated person (currently Ashley Allen at Gatehouse Chambers) holds the names and e-mail addresses of its supporters/subscribers which are supplied by the supporters/subscribers by e-mail, by hard copy lists from events or submitted via the website.
The lawful basis for this data processing is the ‘legitimate interests’ of FreeBar. This data will be processed for as long as an individual is a supporter/subscriber of FreeBar. All information (updated as appropriate) will be kept throughout an individual’s time as a supporter/subscriber and deleted upon request or within 365 days of an e-mail being returned as undeliverable .
Freebar communicates with supporters/subscribers through Microsoft Outlook, other email programs and MailChimp® using two e-mail distribution lists:
- A distribution list for organisers who are happy to be publicly identified as such (the “organisers’ list”). E-mails to these subscribers will usually be sent using ‘To.’ / in open format and may be sent using any email program used by someone on the organisers’ list.
- A distribution list for those who don’t wish to be on the organisers’ distribution list but nevertheless wish to be kept appraised of events (the “events list”). E-mails to these individuals are always sent by ‘blind carbon copy’, using Microsoft Outlook and MailChimp®.
No information will be released to any other FreeBar participant without the prior written approval of the supporter/subscriber concerned.
