How we look after your information
We're a small, volunteer-run community group. We only keep the information we need to run our events and keep in touch with you, and we never sell it or pass it on to anyone else.
Who we are
The York Irish Association is a volunteer-run community group in York. We're responsible for the personal information described here. If you have any questions, email us at info@yorkirish.org.
This website
This website doesn't use cookies and doesn't track you. We don't use analytics or advertising tools. The company that hosts the site keeps basic technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security, as all web hosts do.
Our mailing list
If you ask to join our mailing list, we keep your email address, and your name if you give it to us. We use it only to send you news about York Irish Association events and activities.
We do this because you've asked us to. You can ask to come off the list at any time by replying to any of our emails or writing to info@yorkirish.org, and we'll remove you.
Booking an event
When you book an event, such as our Christmas party, we collect what we need to run it: your name, contact details, the number of places, menu choices, and any dietary or access needs you tell us about. We only use dietary and access details to look after you on the night.
We delete booking details within six months of the event, apart from anything we have to keep for our accounts.
When you email us
If you email us, we use your message and contact details to reply. We keep emails only as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry.
Who else sees your information
Only the committee members who need it. We use Google's services (email, forms and documents) to store information, and Google handles it for us under our instructions. We never sell, rent or share your details with anyone for their own use.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what information we hold about you, and give you a copy
- correct anything that's wrong
- delete your information
- stop using your information, or stop sending you emails
Email info@yorkirish.org and we'll reply within a month.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
