This policy is written in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations 2018. Under the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, due to come into force on 25th May 2018, the Reading’s Talking News (‘Controller’ for the purposes of the GDPR) must let all our volunteers know:

Under the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 the Reading’s Talking news must let you know how we use and protect your personal data. The legal basis for this is called ‘Legitimate Interest’ and it allows us to use your data in a way that you would reasonably expect us to, but which does not override your interests in any way.

We respect your privacy and remain committed to responsible communications. Your details are the only personal data we have for you. It is stored in a secure database. We will never pass them on or sell them. However, under the General Data Protection Regulations there is a legal duty to pass information to third party organisations such as the police, the Department of Work and Pensions and anti-fraud agencies for the purpose of preventing and detecting crime

The Administrator will use this data only to organise the volunteer tasks such as preparing rotas and committee meetings.

Reading’s Talking News is responsible for collecting your personal information.
