June 2018: WAMCF and GDPR
On the 25th May new legislation was introduced that replaced the Data Protection Act of 1998. Under this legislation, the Trustees have a duty to inform anyone on the Windsor and Maidenhead Community Forum mailing list or web site of their rights under GDPR.

This data is used as a distribution list for the WAMCF Quarterly e-newletter which includes up-coming activities and WAMCF news. It is also used to communicate details of any future dialogues, public WAMCF events or, where specifically requested, WAMCF Women’s meetings.
WAMCF data will NOT be shared, under any circumstances, with any third party. Paul Samuels (samuelsberks@aol.com) is the Data controller for WAMCF.
