Membership details are held on the PTA database. Details consist of member’s name, address, email and telephone numbers, both landline and mobile. These details are updated annually upon membership renewal and only held for the current year’s membership. The only personal data held about you is that received from you.
Once membership has lapsed, all personal details are deleted from the database and from the PTA Club Secretary’s computer.
It is required that we retain financial records for seven years, these would normally consist of the PTA’s bank statements, cheque stubs, receipts, etc. These are kept as a paper record and destroyed at the end of the seventh full year.
Committee minutes and documents relating to Annual General Meetings and Special General Meetings are retained as a record of Club business and of policies agreed.

We may also use your personal information where it is needed for official purposes (these instances are likely to be rare).
