Personal Email & Postal Address, Telephone No.

We requested your email address and / or postal address so we can keep in contact, through the provision of a regular MelaNoMore newsletter for members. We will also send you invitations to join events. We will use your email address to send you an invite to the Melanoma Virtual Café which is held monthly via Zoom. You may also be asked to join MelaNoMore Buddies.

We may occasionally contact you by phone to gather your feedback on our support services.

Where your contacts details have not been captured electronically, they will be recorded with all others on the master Google Contacts file. All paper originals will be destroyed and date of consent recorded.

Your information will be treated as confidential and kept secure by us. It will not be shared with any other organisations or persons unless agreed with you.

Group member email distribution will protect your privacy by always using “bcc” blind carbon copy.

If you wish to stop us sending Newsletters and Event invites, please let us know by emailing group@melanomore.net

If you no longer want to be a MelaNoMore member please let us know via the email link above. We will remove all your details held by MSG including MelaNoMore Buddies, unless you wish to continue with just the latter.

Backup and previous versions of personal data, held on Google and other Clouds, will be automatically deleted when the retention period expires.

 

Personal Data Required for MelaNoMore Buddies

Personal Data Required for MelaNoMore Buddies

As a member of MelaNoMore Support Group (MSG), we may send you an invitation to join the MelaNoMore Buddy System. If you have no interest at this stage, please ignore this email request. You can always apply later via our website www.melanomore.net or email to group@melanomore.net 

Your details will be transferred securely via Google Forms directly into a password protected Excel Spreadsheet held on Google Drives with Cloud backup.

Your data encompasses:

  1. email address
  2. telephone number
  3. postcode area (first 3 or 4 characters)
  4. patient or relationship to patient
  5. patient treatment status
  6. hobbies and interests

These elements will be used by the Buddy Co-ordinator to assign Buddies to Friends and monitor progress with you. The postcode area code may be used to match the closest Buddy to Friend. Some of these will also be used as part of the logistical analysis (see below).

Details on the number, date and time of contacts will be logged on the secure file to enable logistical analysis and to best provide this continued service and allocation of resources. This information will not be shared with other Buddies or Friends, unless the Buddy is a member of the MSG Committee.

If you wish to end the Buddy / Friend relationship at any stage, please speak to / email the Buddy Co-ordinator to come to a mutual agreement. If you still have concerns, contact the Chairman of MSG via group@melanomore.net

When the Buddy / Friend relationship finishes we will remove and delete all MelaNoMore Buddy personal data we hold. Only anomalous analytics will be retained.

All your information will be treated as confidential and kept secure within the MSG Committee Members. It will not be shared with any other organisation or person, unless agreed with yourself.
