What information do we hold about you?

This personal information may include your name, email address, postal address of your place of work, telephone number, mobile number, affiliated organisations and job title. The amount of information will vary depending on the way in which Explorer Dome is interacting with you.

If you contact a member of the Explorer Dome team over the phone, by email or through our webform, and your reason for connecting with us relates to a possible ongoing relationship with ASDC or our members, we will hold the personal data you provide us with (for example name, job title, email contact and affiliated organisation) on a secure database.

Keeping your information safe and up-to-date

Your data is held on a secure database. We will not share your information with a third party or transfer information to a country or territory outside the EEA (European Economic Area) unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights, and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data. In the unlikely event that personal data needs to be transferred outside the EEA, your personal information will be anonymised.

We are committed to making sure we have the most current information for you. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is accurate and up-to-date, and our membership data is reviewed annually. However, if it is the case that our records are out-of-date, please do let us know of your new circumstances and we will change your details on our system.
