How to Join – Individual Membership

If you join (or renew) after 1st January 2026, you will become a voting member of Droitwich Arts Network Community Interest Company. As a member, you also become a guarantor which means that in the unlikely event that the company becomes insolvent, your liability is limited to £1.

Data Protection Policy

1 Purpose of CWSA Data
CWSA holds information about its members in Membermojo for the following purposes:

  • To identify members and their entitlement to CWSA privileges
  • To provide information to obtain Public Liability Insurance via the Society for All Artists. (The SAA require an updated list of members names at least annually)
  • To enable the CWSA committee to communicate information about events and opportunities
  • To enable members to network – i.e. make contact with each other.

2 Content & Usage
The content maintained by CWSA is:

  • Name (Christian and surname) – key identification details
  • CWSA Membership status

  • Contact details (email, telephone, address)
  • CWSA support and member interest details (optional); made visible to other members for networking purposes.
  • Club membership

3 Member Data Management
DAN membership information is held in the Membermojo system. This is an on-line proprietary system that facilitates renewals, sharing of data between members (under the members’ control) and provides mailing selection and support.
Administrators can access all data. The administrators are the membership secretary and the club secretary. The administrators make monthly back-up copies of the Membermojo data.
Expired membership details are retained for 14 months unless a member asks for them to be deleted.

4 Usage Controls
Data is protected by passwords that are specific to individual members (or member access via email address verification). Membermojo allows members to update their own data, including the data visible to other members:

  • Name
  • Membership type
  • About me
  • Clubs or Groups
  • DAN support
  • Newsletter options
  • Artistic interest(s)
  • Artistic Interest(s) – specifics
  • Additional information

All mailings will include details of how to “opt out” of future mailings. (The Membermojo field “Data Access Confirmation” will be completed with the date that the member agreed for CWSA to hold their data in this way).
