LRD and GDPR

[The Bowler Hatted Turner]

My local club are having a live remote demonstration tomorrow evening, the  host/demonstrator has asked for a list of those likely to take part in order that no unauthorised people manage to gatecrash. I think this is a reasonable request but where do we stand regards GDPR because we are not supposed to give out any personal information?

A list of JUST names should be OK :-

Quote from https://www.itgovernance.eu/blog/en/the-gdpr-what-exactly-is-personal-data

"Names aren’t always considered personal data
You might think that someone’s name is as clear an example of personal data as it gets; it is literally what defines you as you. But it’s not always that simple, as the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office explains:

“By itself the name John Smith may not always be personal data because there are many individuals with that name."

[Paul Hannaby]

But if that John Smith was known to be the one in Trowbridge due to the connection with the club, then it could become personal data...

The best approach is to do whatever your club's privacy policy says you will do.

Yeah we don't have a John Smith so that is OK.

Problem solved  just make sure that if John Smith wants to join he uses a fake name

I think John if it were our club we would make sure that all members attending had given their consent to the demonstrator having their names. I can't help but think that it's a bit mercenary of the demonstrator though to check the clubs membership, whatever happened to good will and honesty ?

 Hi John (BHT) ,
                        I have just put my application in to join your club but I guess I will be Black Balled  LOL

                                            Regards John Smith Good Luck

The demonstrator ought to make one or more of the club committee an admin so they can deal with who is and isn't attending, then the demonstrator can concentrate on setting up and demonstrating.

John Smith you will never be black balled from my club and you will always be made welcome as long as I am a member.
Richard that is what we do at the moment.
Thanks all for your replies.

John (BHT), get your people to use the registration facility in Zoom. Makes life a lot easier.
Check how the AWGB gather info for the Tuesday/Friday sessions to see what I mean.

There is a way to get all participants details via Zoom but I think it is a bit convoluted.
