Register for the members' area

Draft wording: for Adam's review

Who we are. Ordinges Lodge No. 6866 (Worthing) is responsible for the details you give here.

What we keep. Your name, Masonic title, email address, the office you hold in the lodge, your phone number if you give it, and when you last signed in. Your password is handled by our sign-in provider; lodge officers never see it.

Why. Only to run lodge membership: to check you're a member of Ordinges Lodge, give you access to the members' area (lodge business and minutes), fill in your festive board bookings and plan the seating. We rely on our legitimate interest in running the lodge for its members. We never sell your details or use them for marketing, and we don't share them outside the lodge except with the service providers below.

Where it's stored. Accounts are held by Netlify (our website host, Netlify Identity), which may store data in the USA under UK data-transfer safeguards. When you register, the Secretary is sent an email with your name, title, email, office and phone so they can approve you. Event emails. If you tick “Email me new events”, we email you once about each new meeting, festive board or social event. These emails are sent through Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France), which receives your name and email address only to deliver them. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can untick the box on your profile at any time.

How long. While you're a member. If you leave the lodge or ask us to, we delete your account within 3 months.

Your rights. Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete your details, or object to how we use them, by contacting the lodge Secretary or the Dining Secretary through our contact page. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
