We welcome your interest in our website and/or our social media site. The organisation responsible for these is:

We take your privacy seriously and want you to understand our practices with respect to the personal information we process.

WHEN WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

If you decide to join BORG then you will be asked to submit the limited personal data which is necessary for us to provide you with the relevant goods, services and communications you have requested. It is within our legitimate interest that we need to collect this information from you in order to fulfil membership of BORG and any associated transactions.
e.g.: new members will be sent a welcome pack, members may be contacted about relevant events that may be of interest and if purchasing a nest box members will be required to provide payment details in order for us to complete the transaction. If you have agreed that we monitor your nest box, we may need to contact you regarding any relevant visits.
If you ask us to send you newsletters or other communications, we rely on your active consent in order to do so. You may opt-out of receiving these communications at any time by clicking on unsubscribe or contacting us separately.
We may occasionally use the data you provide to obtain feedback on the work we are doing, this is completely voluntary.
We will not knowingly accept, or store, personal data, or take payments from persons under 18 years of age without consent from their parent/guardian.

WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH AND WHERE DOES IT GO?

The personal information you provide will be stored on personal computer systems which are secured using industry standard, consumer-grade software. We control who has access to the information we hold (both physical and electronic). It will be used to process your requests and to provide you with a personalised and informed service.

We will never sell or trade your personal data with other organisations. We will only disclose information when obliged to by law.
Where we may use other companies to provide services on our behalf we will ensure they have similar levels of security and control in place. e.g.: mailing services.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, before making it non-identifiable or deleting it.

If you choose to unsubscribe from a service, we may keep a ‘suppression list’ containing your details so we know you have unsubscribed.

YOUR RIGHTS, COMPLAINTS AND CONTACT US

You have the right to access your personal data and ask for it to be rectified or deleted at any later time.
