What data do we collect?
Transition Town Milton Keynes (TTMK) collects your name, email address and any additional information that you provide us in the body of your email, your sign up request or in the comments box on our “Contact Us” form.
How do we collect your data?
The “Contact Us” form generates an email that is sent to a secure server using the account transitiontownmk@protonmail.com. All the information submitted on the “Contact Us” form is put into the email.
A request to sign up for a newsletter will be submitted to an automated emailing system that is GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) compliant. Since the software that manages and generates the mailing list is usually located outside Europe, you will be asked to explicitly consent to your email address and name being exported. You must be over 16 to subscribe to a newsletter.
How will we use your data?
The data that you provide us through the “Contact Us” form or an email will be used to respond to your comment, request for information or, if you request that we do this and we agree, to add information about you, your group or your organisation to our website.
If you send us an email, the information you send us will be used to respond to your email.
In either of the above cases, your information will only be passed onto third parties outside of Transition Town Milton Keynes with your explicit permission. (For example, you requested information that we cannot provide directly, but we know who can).
If you request sign up to a newsletter, the information you send will be used to subscribe you to a mailing list. Since the software that manages and generates the mailing list is usually located outside Europe, you will be asked to explicitly consent to your email address and name being exported. You must be over 16 to subscribe to a newsletter.
How do we store your data?
Your data is stored in the form of emails on secure servers located in Switzerland.
If you request sign up to a newsletter, your data (email address and name) can also be stored in GDPR compliant servers used by the software that generates and manages the mailing lists. Since these servers are usually located outside Europe, you will be asked to explicitly consent to your email and name being exported.
