What data to we collect?

The Aboyne and District Men’s Shed (hereafter “The Shed”) maintains a database of information on membership and user groups. This is for operational reasons, communication, security, charity reporting and fundraising purposes. The information held is kept to a minimum that is necessary to safely and effectively run the shed.

Trustees and Management Committee members may have to provide additional personal information from time to time, depending on the requirements of official paperwork, fundraising, charity-related activities or facilities management of the Shed. This information will be requested directly from the relevant individuals if necessary.

How will we use your data?

The Shed collects minimal personal data so that we can report on membership numbers. This is a requirement for OSCR charity reporting and can be useful for fundraising.
