The Peffery Way Association
Who we are

GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), came into effect on 25th May 2018. The GDPR gives individuals more control over how their data is used and places certain obligations on businesses and organisations that process information held about those individuals.
The regulation contains 6 principles:
- Personal data should be processed fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner.
- Data should be obtained for specified and lawful purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
- The data should be adequate, relevant and not excessive.
- The data should be accurate and where necessary kept up to date.
- Data should not be kept for longer than necessary.
- Data should be kept secure.
Your privacy is important to us and for the avoidance of doubt if you sign up to become a member of The Peffery Way Association we will not share your personal information with third parties and your details will be held securely. However, if we gather information or data ourselves that is required for the purposes of the organisation (i.e. to develop, design, build and maintain the path) we may hold and share that information or data but only in a way that is compatible with those purposes.
What information do we collect?
The personal data we hold relates to three categories or groups of people:
- Members who have joined the Association and wish to be kept aware of our activities
- People who have expressed an interest in being kept aware of our activities but do not wish to become members, and
- People in whom we have a legitimate interest.

Consent basis
In the case of those seeking to become members of the Peffery Way Association, by giving us your consent you are giving us permission to hold and process your personal data for the purposes identified above. We will always tell you why your personal data will be retained and used. You may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting the trustees of The Peffery Way Association by email to info@pefferywayassociation.scot or by writing to our Registered Office with the address provided on our website at: www.pefferywayassociation.scot
Under Article 6 (1) f of the GDPR, the Peffery Way Association may gather personal data required to further its legitimate purposes. The right to withdraw consent mentioned above does not apply to such information or data. The Association may continue to hold and share that data providing it is required for the legitimate purposes of the organisation and any sharing is done in a way that is compatible with those purposes.
