The Friends of Glasgow Museums (FoGM), is a Registered Charity No. SC 008995. Our aim is to cultivate interest in and to support the various activities promoted by Glasgow Museums.
The information which we hold is that which you supply on your application form. We collect your name, address, telephone, email address and bank details as appropriate.
We use your information to manage your membership and to send you communications, such as the newsletter and details of talks and events.
On occasion, we may send information about campaigns, appeals and other fundraising specifically for the benefit of Glasgow Museums.
We review our retention periods for personal information every two years. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example the collection of Gift Aid requires we retain your signed agreement for six years). We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.
We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purpose, but be aware that if you donate to Glasgow Life campaigns or similar, your details will be held by them.
We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors or other associated organisations for  the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to send you the newsletter). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond FoGM, unless we are required to do so by law.
Should you wish to terminate your membership, your contact details will be deleted if requested.
Security: We take precautions to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information.
When you give us personal information, it is stored on a database on a computer which is password-protected, and additional hardcopies are kept in a safe location.
Our blogspot may contain links to other websites run by other organisations.
The accuracy of our information is important to us. If you change email address, or any other contact details, please let us know.
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information FoGM holds about you, without cost.
