Information – The information you have given us (your email address, mailing address and possibly phone number) is held by MEMF in a secure, password protected database. It will not be shared with any third party without your consent, nor stored on third party databases. If you cancel your membership, we will delete your information.

Email address We will use your email address to send you:

  • copies of the Newsletter with fliers/ brochures of other events that may be of interest.
  • reminders about subscriptions due (unless you pay by standing order).
  • notice of the AGM.

We may also email you with information about events which have come too late to be included in the Newsletter, unless you wish to opt out of extra emails.

Sending emails – As we usually send out several hundred emails at once, we use an email service called MailChimp. Your contact details and which workshops you’ve booked are held in MEMF’s MailChimp account which is password protected. You can see security arrangements in MailChimp here

Postal Address – We will use your postal address for communications if this is your preferred option. We will send you:

  • copies of the Newsletter.
  • reminders about subscriptions due (unless you pay by standing order).
  • information about future workshops.
  • notice of the AGM.
  • fliers/ brochures of other events that may be of interest.

Telephone Number – If you give us a telephone number we will only use it to contact you at short notice about urgent matters relating to MEMF (e.g. last minute changes to workshop arrangements).

Booking Forms – When you complete a booking form your information is held temporarily in MEMF’s Jotform account until the event is over. You can see security arrangements in Jotform here:

Attending Workshops – If you attend a workshop (including a Zoom workshop), your name and how you heard about it, but no other personal details, may be given to the workshop Tutor if they request it.
