Continuing to protect your data

02/05/2018

The Club has always been dedicated to protecting members’ data and personal information, and we want you to know that this respect for your data and privacy is continuing as we adapt to the requirements of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into force on 25 May 2018.

'With the ever changing ways that we as customers and consumers are now able to find inspiration, share reviews, communicate and transact, we have not just prepared for the new regulations, but have embraced them. That’s why the Club has worked hard over the past 18 months to ensure we are compliant with the new regulations, so we can continue to look after our members’ personal information, not just today but in the ever evolving future.' - Harvey Alexander, Director of Marketing

From the 25 May we will be publishing an updated Privacy Policy to reflect the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. You can view the Club’s Privacy Policy online at www.camc.com/privacy-policy

If you would like to know more, the Information Commissioner's Office has published guidance and advice on the GDPR here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr
