Due to the nature of how our furmeets are ran, it is not necessary to have a full privacy policy. However, it is still practical to have a Privacy Policy in place to highlight what information we take (if any) and how it affects you.
Foreword
Exeterfurs is the name used to describe the Exeter furry meets. These happen once a month, with a party happening twice per year. There is no ‘business’ registration for them, as it is not in relevant interests to do so. In this document, any time ‘Exeterfurs’ or ‘we’ are referenced, it is in reference to anything that describes the meets, their administrators, volunteers or anybody that volunteers for, and on behalf of them.
Information taken in-person at the meets and parties
We do not collect any personal data on our attendees in-person during these meets. Any personal data we come across is strictly coincidental, and records are not kept along these lines once the relevant meet has completed.
Information taken on our website(s).
Main website (https://exeterfurs.org.uk) and Photo Gallery (https://gallery.exeterfurs.org.uk)
The main website uses cookies to enhance the user experience. We do not collect any data on devices used, IP addresses, locations, etc. The main website does not require, nor ask for, data on our attendees, potential attendees, staff or volunteers of any kind.
You have the legal right to opt-out of any cookies used by this website on your initial visit. This will not affect your right to use this website, but the user experience may be degraded. Cookies may be stored on your device for this purpose, but there is zero capability of Exeterfurs staff, assistants nor its suppliers to read the data contained within them, or where they are sent from.
The above is in line and above our requirements within the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect 25th May 2018.
Support system (https://support.exeterfurs.org.uk)
We may take personal data when you register as an attendee at our parties, however, the data required is the minimal required to do our due diligence. The data we take is as follows:
• Real Name
• Furry Name
• Contact E-Mail Address
This is stored on secure web servers using our hosting service, IONOS, and we use the ticketing system OSTicket. Exeterfurs staff have access to this system, however, Exeterfurs assistants and our suppliers do not. Access to this data is strictly limited to those people who have a relevant use for such data.
Once our use of this data is no longer required, it is instantly and securely deleted. The timeframe for this is a maximum period of six months, but is more possible to be sooner.
Legal Processing of Data
Due to Exeterfurs not requiring any data to carry out its day-to-day tasks, we do not have a requirement to register with any authorities, such as the ICO. This may change in future, and if this does, we are required to update this policy promptly to highlight to you how this may affect you.
Further Information
If you require further information on this policy, please speak to a member of the Exeterfurs administration team.
