Table Talk Business Club Community Interest Company is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under registration number ZC180226.

What Data We Collect
We collect personal data that you provide directly to us when you apply for membership, register on our website, attend an event, or contact us. This may include:
- Full name

We also collect data automatically when you use our website, including IP addresses, browser type, and browsing behaviour, via Google Analytics.
Why We Collect It and Our Lawful Basis
Under UK GDPR, we are required to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. The table below sets out how that applies to each type of processing we carry out.
Membership administration and event management: contractual necessity. We need this data to manage your membership, process bookings, and communicate with you about events.
Payment processing: contractual necessity. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not see or store your card details.
Member communications and event updates by email: legitimate interests. We use Sender to manage our email communications. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email.
Website analytics: legitimate interests. We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used and to improve it. This is subject to your cookie preferences.
Third-Party Processors
We work with the following third-party processors who handle your data on our behalf:
- Stripe — payment processing
- Sender — email marketing and member communications
- Google Analytics — website analytics
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose your data where required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Table Talk Business Club, its members, or others.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, and no longer.
Member data: held for the duration of your membership. After membership ends, your contact details and membership records are retained for two years, then deleted.
Financial records: payment history and invoices are kept for six years to comply with HMRC requirements.
Event attendance records: kept for two years after the event date.
Enquiries and applications that did not result in membership: retained for twelve months, then deleted.
Email marketing data: retained until you withdraw consent or unsubscribe.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
Right of Access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: if any of your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it.
Right to Erasure: you can ask us to delete your personal data where we no longer have a lawful reason to hold it.
Right to Restrict Processing: you can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
Right to Data Portability: you can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to Object: you can object to us processing your data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@tabletalk-bc.com. We will respond within one calendar month of receiving your request.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at www.ico.org.uk.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. Where third-party processors handle your data, we ensure they do so under appropriate contractual obligations.
If we become aware of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of it and, where required, will notify you directly.
