Specific information in relation to member’s personal data processed by us.
Specified purpose:
This data is processed to enable us to validate suitability for membership of Irish Reflexologist’s Institute and to maintain accurate membership records and to communicate to you matters deemed relevant to the proper operation of the Irish Reflexologist’s Institute, such as AGM’s, training courses, and alterations to the website.
As part of the membership registration process you must provide some information about yourself by filling out and submitting forms and documents proving you meet other requirements, such as having valid insurance. This allows us to identify you and confirm that you have the right to be a member. If you need to make changes to your personal information, such as a change of address or mobile phone number, you should contact us.
This data is not, and will never be, shared with any external organisation unless necessary for legitimate business activities of the Irish Reflexologist’s Institute. For example, your contact details will be passed to organisations providing training or other services in conjunction with the Irish Reflexologist’s Institute, hotels used for AGM, networking and other events, as required by them or their insurance companies, and companies such as Constant Contact, who maintain our email communication services. Your data will not be made available to any government agency unless required by law.
This data is not transferred outside the EU.
The data collected for this purpose will be held by us only as long as there is a business need to do so in line with the purpose(s) for which it was collected. Thereafter, in accord with the recommendations of the Irish Data Protection Agency to the Irish Reflexologist’s Institute on 29 March 2018, it will be retained for 7 years, and destroyed thereafter. We retain this information for 7 years after your membership has lapsed in case you wish to rejoin later. However, we will destroy this information immediately if you so require. Please be aware that if you do so, we will have no record you were ever a member of the Irish Reflexologist’s Institute. Should you wish to rejoin under such circumstances, you will have to go through the same processes as any other person who has never been a member, including validation of your training. If your membership lapses, but you wish us to hold your records for more than 7 years, please advise us in writting via registered post. We cannot accept such requests via telephone or email.
The data provided for this purpose is being requested under the requirements set out in EU Regulations. If you choose not to provide this information, it is impossible for us to process your application for membership to the Irish Reflexologist’s Institute.

It is stored internally in encrypted Excel and Word documents. The passwords for these documents are restricted to those office staff and directors who have specific responsibilities for membership approval and communication. All passwords are changed whenever one of these staff members or directors leaves the Institute or ceases to have responsibilities requiring access to these records.
