Disclosing and Sharing data
We will never sell your personal data. If you have opted-in to marketing, we may contact you with information about our partners, or third party products and services, but these communications will always come from EOGB and are usually incorporated into our own marketing materials (e.g. advertisements in magazines or newsletters).
We may share personal data with subcontractors or suppliers who provide us with services. For example, if you order something from EOGB, your name and address will be shared with the delivery company. However, these activities will be carried out under a contract which imposes strict requirements on our supplier to keep your information confidential and secure.

We use personal data to communicate with people and to promote EOGB. This includes keeping you up to date with our news, updates, campaigns and training information EOGB will now ask you to “opt-in” for most communications. This includes all our marketing communications. This means you’ll have the choice as to whether you want to receive these messages and be able to select how you want to receive them (post, phone, email, text).
You can decide not to receive communications or change how we contact you at any time. If you wish to do so please contact us by emailing info@eogb.co.uk, writing to EOGB 5 Howard Road, Eaton Socon, St Neots, Cambs. PE19 8ET or telephoning 01480 477066 (Lines open 8.30am – 4.30pm, Mon – Fri).
CCTV
Some of our premises have CCTV and you may be recorded when you visit them. CCTV is there to help provide security and to protect both you and EOGB. CCTV will only be viewed when necessary (e.g. to detect or prevent crime) and footage is only stored temporarily. Unless it is flagged for review CCTV will be recorded over.
EOGB complies with the Information Commissioner’s Office CCTV Code of Practice, and we put up notices so you know when CCTV is in use.
Storage
EOGB’s operations are based in the UK and we store our data within the European Union. Some organisations which provide services to us may transfer personal data outside of the EEA, but we’ll only allow them to do if your data is adequately protected.
