What will you use my details for?

Just to contact you.  We will not pass your email address or any other details on to anyone else without your permission.  We need your contact details for our membership database, and check your date of birth to confirm that you’re eligible to be a member.

And don’t worry – we won’t flood your email inbox.  We send out emails roughly once every month.  Or even every two months, because we don’t want to waste our members’ time with excessive messages.

Sometimes, we’ll send you emails more frequently, but that will only be if there are opportunities or events within UNYSAN that we think are relevant to you and believe you will be interested in.

Do I have to do anything if I join?
No!  While you can attend our events, you don’t have to.  Becoming a member means that you can’t act inconsistently with the UNYSAN constitution (which you probably won’t do anyway), which is just a general legal requirement for societies.  Even if you did breach the UNYSAN constitution (which you won’t), the worst thing that would happen would be that your membership could get terminated.  So don’t worry – you can’t, don’t, and won’t lose anything.

By joining UNYSAN, you’ll open opportunities for what you can do.  But you don’t have to do anything.  We hope and expect, however, as we’re proud of our events, that you will want to.
