First Berlin Toastmasters takes your privacy very seriously. This notice explains how the club collects your personal data, how it is used as well as the conditions under which the data may be disclosed to others.

The club may collect your name, address, phone number and email, via our sign-in sheet and membership application. This information is used for a variety of club-related purposes, but mostly to keep you informed of club and organizational news. The information will be retained for as long as you would like it to be, and you always have the right to ask the club to remove

any of the information from our records. We may also need payment information to process dues, which we will quickly dispose of after processing. The club will never sell your data. Your information will not be deliberately shared with a third party for their marketing purposes.

TMI World Headquarters, which is located in the United States, will receive your information via the membership application. The club may use Listserv software (which helps to create an easy to use email recipient list) to organize our communications to you. The club vets these companies in advance to make sure they are compliant with the current laws and regulations, and to make sure they will use your information only for the stated purpose.

As per the GDPR requirements, we are working to create a new privacy policy which will fully describe why and how we collect and process personal information and any member, existing or new, would be able to validate that we handle this information carefully and sensibly.
