Membership mailings

NOT RECEIVING BRANCH EMAILS? Set your preferences online The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect in May 2018 and will continue to be law following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. GDPR was established to harmonise data protection laws across Europe while helping EU citizens to better understand how their personal information was being used. At the moment, unless you have given your consent, you might not be receiving information by letter or e-mail from your local CAMRA branch about branch meetings, brewery trips, beer festivals and other branch campaigning events. This may seem rather odd but under GDPR, CAMRA has adopted this as its current safe approach because GDPR may consider branch mailings, except those informing of a branch AGM, to be marketing. Current interpretation by CAMRA is that notification of branch activities by e-mail or letter is prohibited under GDPR unless a member proactively agrees to receive such mailings! The means members should choose exactly what they wish to receive from CAMRA by setting their own preferences, which can be changed at any time. Here’s how to manage your preferences Q Log in to camra.org.uk using your membership number. Q Go to My Membership and then Edit membership details. Q Under Preferences, there is an edit button at the bottom of the page. You can then choose which communications you’d like to receive by post and email, and save your preferences. Q It’s also worth checking your email

address and other details are up to date. If you don’t use e-mail or the web but still want to update your preferences, please get in touch with the helpful membership team at CAMRA who will be happy to advise what you should do - membership@camra.org.uk or call 01727 867201. Q
