GDPR for Groups

Policy and requirements of Committees

GDPR is something we all need to be aware of, especially as Committees who often have access to handle people's personal data. 

All Committee members are required to review and sign our Volunteer Data Protection and Confidentiality Acknowledgement here.

When a new Committee members starts in role, please ensure they complete this form.

You can review Icon's full Data Protection Policy here.

Accessing Member Information

Sometimes, it's useful to know who you're organising your events and initiatives for! To refresh your knowledge, liasie with the Groups and Public Programme team to receive a breakdown.

In accordance with GDPR, this will consist only of what you need to know to plan events or deliver your AGM:

  • Icon members subscribing to your Group or Network
  • Institution/Organisation (if given)
  • Membership category
  • Subscription type

Individual contact details of Icon members can never be provided, but with the breakdown, the office will provide a separate list of postcodes in alphabetical order (and thus anonymised), so you can develop an understanding of the geographic distribution of your subscribers to help plan locations for your events.
