The Data Protection Act of 1998 has changed the law on the processing and storage of personal data and organisations such as ours must now comply with this law. The Forum holds the names and address of its members in a computer database along with their area of interest in the arts if we know them. Before we do so we ask for your consent. We use this information to send out mailings and may occasionally pass the mailing list to other arts related bodies. We will not use any information we hold about you for commercial purposes.
