Data storage
Personal information is kept for a reasonable period of time, dependent upon the nature of the information and its intended use.
If you have a BSRM membership and/or meeting registration record, your information will be kept in the BSRM system, even if you do not renew your membership or meeting registration later. This is to allow us to continue informing you on BSRM related events.

BSRM stores all the personal data which it has collected, through a secured server at the BSRM Central Office premises. Back-ups are made on a daily basis.
Since no method of electronic storage is absolutely secure, BSRM is not in a position to guarantee absolute security.
