How Do We Obtain Your Personal Data?
The personal data we have about you has been provided to us by you in some way. This could be when you sign up for a trip, a camp, a book club, apply for membership, register as a volunteer, and more. If you no longer wish for us to handle your personal data, you can contact us, and we will remove it. This will also result in the termination of any commitments we have toward you.

When you provide us with your personal data, you will also receive information about how we will use it, your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and how you can contact us if you have any questions.

We maintain a high level of security for our systems and continuously review our security measures to ensure they remain robust.

If personal data is processed by an external service provider, we have data processing agreements with them to ensure your information is handled securely.
