Working with MDEM – For Museums

Terms and Conditions:

At Museum Development East Midlands we are committed to being transparent in our practices and our expectations of the organisations we work with. Up to date contact details help MDEM better advocate and effectively support the museum sector in the region by sharing best practice, understanding the current and evolving museum landscape, and identifying museum needs.

On this page you’ll find information on how we store your data, how to request to have any data removed and what MDEM expects of all organisations it works with.

Your data:

Museum Development East Midlands (MDEM) only stores personal data that is relevant to MDEM activities. Data is held in the form of organisational and personal emails where appropriate. From May 2018 the data protection law is evolving into the General Data Protection Regulation, which has more specific controls on how data is stored and managed. To reflect this, MDEM has put the following procedures in place:

  • How do we use data: MDEM communicates information about MDEM and related opportunities to museums by email.  MDEM does not share museum and personal data with third parties. Occasionally MDEM will forward information on behalf of other organisations where deemed relevant.
  • How we store your data: MDEM is currently re-seeking formal consent to hold individual/ personal email addresses to comply with new regulations. MDEM stores all data securely on the Leicestershire County Council Server.
  • E-News: Our newsletter is distributed via individual subscription, therefore it is up to the individual to subscribe or unsubscribe via the Mail Chimp web portal. See www.mdem.org.uk/news/enews
