How we store your personal information

This data is securely stored on our online membership database in Salesforce. Access to the data is controlled and the database is certified as compliant with all EU regulations. We also use this tool to hold relevant data on people attending our events or engaging with us during the course of our work (for example media contacts).

Data can also be held locally at a branch or by a project or department. This can be using online facilities such as Dropbox or Google Drive – or third-party applications such as Mailchimp. Where this is the case, the responsible data controller ensures it is protected in the appropriate way. Any data moving between parties within ISB is encrypted and password protected.

We keep your email address and name for at least 3 years. We will then dispose of your information by writing to you advising you that we shall delete your details from our database unless you request retention.
