Privacy Policy

MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER, CUSTOMER AND CONTACT

Your personal information

Here at York Civic Trust and Fairfax House we strive to deliver our objective of “Promoting Heritage – Shaping Tomorrow”. We need to collect and use personal information to do this, and the arrival of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018 has been a welcome reminder to us to review the way we do this.   As a result we’ve made changes to our Privacy Policy (insert link to either YCT or FH website, both containing the single policy).   If you are content with this policy and the way we communicate with you, you do not need to do anything—we will continue with your consent to operate as we have done in the past.

Please contact us at any time with questions you might have about our use of your personal data:  email info@yorkcivictrust.co.uk or info@fairfaxhouse.co.uk or telephone 01904 655543.

You have the right to opt-out of receiving communications at any time and we provide an ability to do so every time we contact you.
