Due to new data protection legislation, we need your consent to continue to hold your personal information, such as the Wayfarers contact list. Our new Privacy Notice on the website explains how we use your personal info, and there is also a new Data Protection Policy, giving more details.
In the next couple of weeks, I will be emailing all our members for whom we hold details to ask for your agreement to continue. It's important to be able to contact you and your emergency contacts on rides, and we believe the contact list helps keep the club together in many ways.
CTC HQ is also working on its response to the new legislation, but have so far not informed us of what they intend to do, so in order to comply we have had to develop a separate, and hopefully consistent, approach. Once the CTC guidance is published, if necessary we will merge them.

Hi Simon. FYI I am a member of the Canal Trust and they have sent me a form to fill in and return for this purpose which I have done, they take the view that electronic reply is not adequate to protect them and that ones signature is required!
However the MG owners club (Epsom) have interpreted that they do not have to get specific permission but are taking the view that as all the information was previously freely given they are immune taking the view that it up to the individual to opt out if they feel that way. Strange!
