Hello hive mind - perhaps a Friday question....(written in a personal capacity)
I've been organising a series of walks - mainly for friends - but increasingly a wider group of people. I've now started a monthly newsletter using Mailchimp to which I add first name and second name and the person's email address. I have no interest in collecting any other PD about people!
The newsletter has links to resources people might find useful as background to the walks themselves. For example, there's a Radical Pimlico Walk on 9th April, and in the newsletter to promote this there's a link to a lovely short film by Ian Nairn (who was a resident of the area).
The newsletter has about 100 subscribers and growing. I no longer 'know' who everyone is as friends of friends ask to be on the subscribers list and so on.
I am making it clear to people that I am asking their consent before they are subscribed. Sometimes this is captured in email, sometimes it's FB messenger and other times it's verbal. This applies to everyone. Mailchimp is quite a powerful tool and shows who has opened the newsletter. It also has a link to enable a person to unsubscribe at any time.
I'm thinking of creating a Privacy Notice. Partly because it will be a useful learning exercise for me and I feel it's 'the right thing to do'. But I must admit I'm not fully clear what the DP issues are. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
And if you'd like to know more about the walks themselves or subscribe to the newsletter, please get in touch
thanks + rgds
Danny
