We retain personal data about your transactions for as long as your Friends of EventWell membership remains active, and for 90 days after attendance at an EventWell event by non-members. Where you have given consent to receive emails and direct marketing from us, we keep a record of that fact to ensure we respect your request.

We also retain membership information with the potential to give rise to legal disputes for 5 years from the expiry or termination of such.

We seek to use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal information within our organisation. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that security may have been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data during transmission and this is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Your rights to withdraw consent and to object (including to direct marketing)
