Database- Security and Confidentiality

The Leeds Jewish Representative Council hopes to start sending communications out from the communal database on the 1st June. There will hopefully be a large proportion of the community on the database, meaning that everyone will be kept fully informed. Users will have the opportunity to select how often they receive a round-up of communications, what events they want to hear about and who they want to hear from.

Some people will be reluctant to sign up because of worries about data protection. They don't want to be flooded with emails, and they do not want their information being given out. To assuage these worries, the following guidelines have been set up:

Security and Confidentiality

-The Leeds Jewish Representative Council will have exclusive access to the data and your details will not be passed on to any other party. Certain other groups (see below) will be able to send out communications via the database but will not be able to see who is on it or their details.

- Only groups affiliated with the Leeds Jewish Representative Council and/or specifically approved by its honorary officers will be able to send out information via the database. A full list of organisations will be available on the website- www.lji.org.uk

- You will have complete control over which of the approved organisations send you information. There will be the option to block particular groups.

- You can unsubscribe from the database at any time.

- The database, and the processing of the data, will be in full compliance with the Data Protection Act (1998)
