- The basis for processing your data, how we use that

Where we have a contractual relationship with you
6.1 We may process your personal data because it is
necessary for the performance of a contract to deliver the services
you have engaged us for, including under the terms of ISBA
Membership, or in order to take steps at your request prior to
entering into a contract. In this respect, we use your personal
data for the following:
6.1.1 To correspond with you about
services, including subscriptions and event details, that you have
requested from us;
6.1.2 To process applications you have
made to attend an ISBA event and provide you with the services you
have requested;
6.1.3 To maintain internal records of
ISBA Membership, and enquiries about Membership; and
6.1.4 If you are an ISBA Member, to send
you expected Membership benefits or subscriptions, and keep you
informed with updates relevant to governance and administration of
your ISBA Membership. This will include forthcoming events and new
resources, news we consider is relevant to Members or other
recipients, and administration or renewal of your Membership.
6.2 In this respect, we may also provide your personal data
to the following (but only for purposes connected with our
fulfilling contracts with you):
6.2.1 Third party service providers who
we may engage to assist in delivering the services to you: for
example, conference and seminar organisers, speakers and
instructors;
6.2.2 Our bank to whom payment details
are provided in order to process a payment;
6.2.3 Our website provider, who may
store details such as name and email address to enable member
login;
6.2.4 Our professional advisers where it
is necessary for us to obtain their advice or assistance, or if you
have specifically requested your details or queries are passed on
to our professional advisers as part of our fulfilling a Member
request (but otherwise advice requests are by policy carried out
without identifying you or your school);
6.2.5 Professionals who assist us in
putting together, printing and delivering the ISBA magazine, The
Bursar's Review; and
6.2.6 Our IT support and any data
storage provider.
Legal obligations and legitimate
interests
6.3 We may process your personal data because it is
necessary for our or a third party's legitimate interests. This
will always be weighed against your rights, interests and
expectations.
6.4 Examples of where we process personal data in accordance
with our legitimate interests include:
6.4.1 processing technical information
about your use of the ISBA website to ensure that content on our
site is presented in the most effective manner;
6.4.2 processing enquiries, complaints
and analysing our services;
6.4.3 sharing attendees of our events'
name, position and school with other attendees, sponsors and
exhibitors (for example, when creating and sharing a delegate
list);
6.4.4 obtaining a client reference to
support an application for the ISBA Business Directory;
6.4.5 researching our market,
including being aware of appointments and changes in position at
schools (whether or not ISBA Members); and
6.4.6 marketing our goods, services,
events and resources by post, telephone and electronic mail -
except where we provide material directly to our Members or others
under contract, or in situations where it is required or
appropriate to seek your specific consent.
6.5 We may also process your data for our compliance with
our legal obligations. In this respect we may use your personal
data to comply with subject access requests of others, tax
legislation, safeguarding requirements, for the prevention and
detection of crime, and in order to assist the police and other
competent authorities with investigations (including criminal
investigations).
Consent
6.6 In some circumstances the ISBA may seek your
specific consent to process your personal data: for example, if we
wish to use your likeness or an attributed quote in our marketing
materials, or if we wish to name you as part of an article or case
study for use in our materials, including for example, in The
Bursar's Review.
6.7 ISBA Members primarily receive communications as part of
their Membership, which in accordance with your Membership rights
may include information about ISBA resources, services and events.
However
6.7.1 if you are not an ISBA Member;
or
6.7.2 if you are a Member but we wish to
process your data for a purpose that falls outside your
Membership,
then we may also request your consent to process your personal
data in this way. An example may be in order to provide you with
information of a marketing nature (whether concerning the ISBA or a
third party) to your personal email account, if you have provided
your email address for those purposes.
6.8 If you have given your consent and you wish to withdraw
it, please contact us using the contact details at section 3.1
above. Please note that where our processing of your personal data
relies on your consent and you then withdraw that consent, we may
not be able to provide some aspects of our services to you.
Equally, where our processing of your personal data does not rely
on your consent, we may not be able to fulfil your request (please
see Your Rights section below).
7 Profiling
We may use personal characteristics such as role, your expressed
interests, your previous interactions with ISBA or geographical
location to target our communications to a specific audience. If
you wish to tailor the communications you receive from us then
please contact us using the details provided at section 3.1
above.
8. Retention of your data
8.1 We may retain your personal data only for so
long as is necessary to deliver our services to you, and to protect
our legal interests (for example where required by relevant
authorities, or for a reasonable legal limitation period after we
have ceased providing services to you) or as otherwise stated to
you when your data is collected.
8.2 We may keep certain limited details about you for longer
for archiving or statistical purposes, or for suppression purposes
(if you have requested not to hear from us). If you have any query
about retention of your data, please see Your Rights below.

you transmitting that personal data to another data controller;
and

personal data we hold about you if it is inaccurate.
9.2 Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and
we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply: for

accurate or we can show our processing is necessary for a lawful
purpose set out in this notice.

protection legislation at www.ico.org.uk.
