and will not be provided to any other person, organisation or business for any other purposes, except where required by law.

NCWC Use of Personal Data:
NCWC will generally process your personal data in providing membership services and organizing events.

• Contacting you with relevant information (e.g. show schedules) by mail, telephone or email;
• Use of your personal data in annual Membership Lists;
• Publication of your personal data and dog information in NCWC show/event catalogues;
• Publication of show/event results on the NCWC website or other NCWC social media (FB) sites;
• Administration and communications relating to judging lists and NCWC judging appointments;
• Communications related to membership and invitations to participate in canine health studies;
• Assistance with upholding our Society objectives and taking action in cases where there may be a breach of the NCWC Rules or
Codes of Ethics;
• Assistance in ensuring compliance with Kennel Club Rules and Regulations;
• Assistance with queries, complaints and dispute resolution.
You may request to see all the personal data we hold on you (we are allowed 30 days to provide it).
We only keep your data for the reasons outlined above. We undertake to delete your personal data, or withhold it from publication, if you request us to do so in writing.
NCWC Disclosure of Personal Data to Other Third Parties:
The NCWC may use service providers (web site/ISP/show printers) to help us provide you with our services. Personal data may be transferred to such service providers, who act for or on our behalf, for further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data was originally collected or may otherwise be lawfully processed.
This may include:
• Production of NCWC show/event catalogues;
• Other NCWC publications.
Such third parties have contracted with us as data processors under the requirements in the GDPR. They are contractually
bound to only use personal data for the agreed purpose(s). Relevant persons working for these third parties will have access to
your personal data under the terms of the data processor contract, but only to the extent necessary to perform their services for NCWC.
NCWC Data Retention Policy:
NCWC will only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Personal data may be further processed and stored for archiving in the interests of statistical and historical purposes. When doing so, we will consider any link to the initial purpose, the context the data was collected in, the reasonable expectations of members, the nature of the data, the consequences of further processing and the existence of appropriate safeguards.
Old membership lists and other electronically held data may have some historical value and/or statistical value.
NCWC will consider how long is practically useful.
