Dear Member / Representative of Ghanaian Community Group.

This month brings some major changes to privacy and data protection law in Europe. The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25th May 2018.

The law require organisations like Ghana Union to give you a lot more information about the way we process your personal data, the reason we use it and the rights you have.

Your trust is important to us, so keeping your personal information safe and secure remains our top priority.

You don’t need to do anything else, but we wanted to let you know about this change. To find out more, please take a look at our updated Privacy Policy included below (or via our website http://www.ghanaunion.org.uk) which will apply from Friday 25 May.

If you have any questions or would like to contact us, please email info@ghanaunion.org.uk.

We look forward to continuing our working relationship with you.

Kind regards,

Ghana Union.
