Any information you choose to include within your enquiry
The lawful basis for processing your information will depend on the nature of your enquiry and may include your consent, our legitimate interests, or the need to provide a service you have requested.
Your information will not be shared with anyone outside the West Wales Maritime Heritage Society unless this is necessary to deal with your enquiry, provide a requested service or comply with a legal obligation.

We collect information about you so that we can:
Respond to enquiries
Manage membership
Process donations or payments
Administer bookings and Society activities
Provide information about the Society and its events
Maintain appropriate administrative and financial records
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, unless we are required or permitted by law to use it for another purpose.
We do not sell your personal information or share it with other organisations for their own marketing purposes.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as information concerning race, religion, political beliefs or health through our general website enquiry forms.
We will only disclose your personal information without your consent where required or permitted by law, or where such action is reasonably necessary to:

Membership, Donations and Payments
If you become a member, make a donation or make a payment through our website, additional information may be required in order to process your request.
