Privacy Policy

How BoB Connections collects, uses and looks after the personal data of our members, and the choices you have.

About this policy

This privacy policy applies under UK data protection law: the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. BoB Connections Ltd is the data controller for your personal data.

BoB Connections Ltd is based in the UK. We will never sell or rent your personal data, and we only share it as described in this policy and under “Sharing your personal data” in our GDPR statement.

When you sign up and pay by card to become a member of a BoB Connections club, your personal data will be added to the database owned by BoB Connections Ltd, who is the Data Controller. Your data is also shared with the company that operates the BoB Connections club/s you are a member of (listed below), and that company is the data processor for only those clubs. If a club/s changes ownership your business contact data will be transferred to the new operating company. If you apply to join a club and pay online by credit or debit card your personal data including your card details are automatically shared with PayPal. However, neither BoB Connections Ltd nor any licensee sees or stores any card details as this is only used by PayPal in conjunction with the card issuer (i.e.: bank). BoB Connections Ltd and each licensee are covered by PayPal's PCI compliance policy.

BoB Connections Ltd (head office), and our licensees Networking South East Ltd and Roger Howes Ltd

Contact details for the licensees can be found further down this page.

Currently the only 3rd party company who can access our database and back-office systems is Impact Measurement Ltd, our web developer, host and service provider, who work under a non-disclosure agreement with us. We also use PayPal for online payments, and Cloudflare's cookie-free visitor statistics to understand how our website is used (see how we use cookies).

How we obtain your personal data

As in the case of the majority of members, you will have entered your own contact data when you applied to become a member online

You may have filled in a paper application form that was given to you, or you downloaded from our website

If you applied in this way your data will have been manually input by one of the above companies who are the Data processor and automatically shared with and automatically added to the online database of BoB Connections Ltd the owner and Data Controller of the database. After using the business contact data provided by you on the application form the Data processor will store the paper application form securely and destroy the form when you leave the BoB Connections club that you were added to.
