We welcome as members individuals and organisations who care for Hammersmith
As a Member, you will receive regular updates outlining our activities, giving you the opportunity to participate in consultations and campaigns. We'll invite you to our Awards Evening and AGM, and other events. Members are always encouraged to take an active part in the work done by the committee – come along and see if you can help.
The membership year runs from 1st Jan, and only costs £6 for individuals, £8 for couples or families, and £15 for organisations. Additional voluntary donations always welcome.
Your privacy is important. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
This notice applies to information collected or submitted on the Hammersmith Society website at hammersmithsociety.org.uk
Our webserver is not set up to generally track, collect or distribute personal information about its visitors. It does however recognise the IP address of visitors, but not email addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify particular visitors. This information is used only for internal purposes. For example, we compile statistics that show the number of visitors to the site, the requests we receive for particular pages or files, what countries those requests come from, and the browser type and computer/tablet/phone type used. From time to time we may use 3rd party analytics services to help us analyse this information which requires us to provide such data to them.
If you apply for membership on this site using the form provided, data entered is forwarded to us by conventional email, but is not stored on the website, and contains no financial information.
If you search for something on the site, we may log the search terms used. Similarly, if you use a search engine such as Google to find our site, we may be able to tell what terms you were searching for.
Aggregated statistics are used to help identify member interests, and may also be provided to others, but the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device as you are browsing. They are processed and stored by your web browser if you allow them. Strictly necessary cookies make the site work properly, but do not track or identify you.
Our content management system itself does not use cookies, except in the following circumstances:
You may set your web browser to notify you of cookie placement requests or decline cookies completely. You can delete the files that contain cookies; those files are stored as part of your Internet browser under the domain hammersmithsociety.org.uk
No cookie banner? No problem! As we’re not tracking you with marketing cookies, and only use ‘strictly necessary’ ones as described above, in terms of the ICO, we don’t need to nag you with banners 🙂
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. text, images, videos etc.) from third parties, such as social media websites. Embedded content from such websites usually behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the third party website itself. We indicate this type of content either in a separately titled box, e.g. “On Facebook” or if linking to it externally, with the link symbol.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Any cookies used will appear under the name of the 3rd party.
We may also provide links that redirect you to an external website such as a payment processor for subscription payments or donations (for example Paypal), or a newsletter sign-up service such as Mailchimp, but we do not process payments on our website or collect payment information directly from the website. These sites may collect information on our behalf, with their own additional privacy policies.
As of 2023, this website uses encryption by default as performance is no longer significantly impacted. This requires additional non-tracking strictly necessary cookies to maintain a secure connection.
Periodically we send news updates to our member’s registered email addresses. These, their links and associated features such as surveys, may be personalised to each member, so that we can better identify which news stories members choose to read, allowing the society to better understand the interests and concerns of the membership. You may “unsubscribe” from these emails using the link provided at the bottom of each email, or by contacting the membership secretary.
WE DO NOT SELL, TRADE, EXCHANGE OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER COMPANY OR ORGANISATION, except where it is explicitly stated that information may be shared.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
If you have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
