I. Applying to join (initiation, exaltation, joining or re-joining)

If you express interest in joining Freemasonry and provide data to a Masonic Entity, that data will be used to assess your eligibility and to try to find the right Lodge for you. The data may be shared by the Masonic Entity which collected the data with other Masonic Entities local to where you live or spend time.  

As a candidate, you consent to the processing, retention and sharing of your personal data submitted on or with your application, including details of criminal convictions if applicable, for the purpose of assessing your membership application and any other membership applications you may make to Masonic entities.  If you choose to answer the optional questions about your religion and ethnicity these will not be visible to those assessing your membership application(s) and will be used for the sole purpose of equalities monitoring.

The assessment of your application will include printing some of your personal details on the summons which is sent to all of the members of the Lodge or Chapter to which you are applying.  Those details are your full name, age, profession or occupation (if any), place or places of abode, business address or addresses and names of your proposer and seconder.  Your details will be checked against records of current members and of members who have resigned or been expelled for the purpose of verifying that you are eligible to make your application.   

After submitting your application Masonic entities may use your data to send communications of interest to you, for example an invitation to a Masonic event in your Province, the First Rising email newsletter for members or an invitation to sign up for Freemasonry’s free learning website, Solomon. 

If you apply from outside the UK then your data will be transferred to the UK and processed for the purpose of assessing your application.  It may be transferred from the UK to Masonic entities local to you for the purpose of assessing your application. 

The personal data in expressions of interest and membership applications is processed on the basis of consent.  You can cancel your application at any time prior to your initiation, exaltation, joining or re-joining by notifying whoever you provided your data to, or to your proposer and seconder.  If you provide your data but do not complete your application within two years, it will be deleted.  If you complete an application but are not initiated within ten years, it will be deleted. If you wish to delete your application data sooner then please contact [email protected]. 

II. Use of Freemasons’ data by Masonic entities

Masonic entities will never sell your data.

As a Freemason your data will be processed, retained and shared for any reasonable purposes required by the Book of Constitutions, the Royal Arch Regulations or the bodies they sanction from time to time.  These purposes include, but are not limited to, the following purposes:

1. Assessing any membership applications you make to Masonic entities;
2. Registering you as a member of Freemasonry; 
3. Sending communications which you are entitled to receive as a Mason; 
4. Recording the progress of your career in Freemasonry including memberships of Masonic entities, offices held, roles performed and meetings attended;
5. Masonic disciplinary processes;
6. If you resign or are expelled from membership, maintaining records to prevent you from improperly re-applying for membership; and 
7. Maintaining records of your career in Freemasonry for archive and historical purposes.

The legal basis on which your personal data will be used for these purposes is the legitimate interests of Masonic entities as not for profit membership organisations.  Additional data is commonly held by Masonic entities on the basis of consent.  Examples of this include dietary preferences and any photographs in which you feature. If you have provided your religion or ethnicity this data is also held on the basis of consent. 

Sharing your data

Please note that data provided to any Masonic entity will be shared with any other Masonic entity for which it is relevant.  For example, if you move house and provide your new address to your Lodge, that data may be shared with all other Masonic entities which communicate with you by post. Also data about you created by a Masonic entity will be shared with any other Masonic entity for which it is relevant. For example, if a Provincial Grand Master imposes a disciplinary sanction on you that will be reported to all of your Lodges and Chapters. 

The proceedings of Freemasonry are not public but the quarterly meetings of Grand Lodge and of Supreme Grand Chapter are recorded in minute books which are made available to the public.  If you choose to speak at these meetings then your name will be recorded in the minutes. 

If you are a member of a Masonic entity based outside the UK then your data may be transmitted to, processed and stored in the jurisdiction of that Masonic entity.  Your data will also be stored and processed in the UK for the purposes set out in this Section II. 

The email newsletter First Rising is sent to members using Mailchimp.  This means that unless you unsubscribe from the newsletter your email address will be sent to Mailchimp’s servers, based in the USA, for the purposes of sending the newsletter to you.  More detail on how your email address is protected by Mailchimp can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/help/mailchimp-european-data-transfers/.  You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in the newsletter. 

Resignation

You may stop your data from being used for all purposes except 6. and 7. above by resigning from the United Grand Lodge of England and, if applicable, the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England using the processes prescribed by their respective constitutions.  If you resign or are expelled, personal data relating to your membership will normally be retained and processed by the United Grand Lodge of England for 100 years for purpose 6. and indefinitely for purpose 7.  Other Masonic entities may also keep historic records, for example once you cease to be a member of a Lodge your personal details will remain in Lodge minute books which cover the period in which you were a subscribing member. 

Your data may also be used within one year of your resignation from a Lodge or Chapter to contact you for the purposes of understanding why you resigned and if applicable to assist you in finding an appropriate Lodge or Chapter to join. 

If you resign while owing money to a Masonic entity then your data may be used to contact you to seek payment. 

If you resign from all of your Lodges and Chapters but remain a Freemason then Masonic entities may also contact you: 

1. by post to make you aware of Masonic events happening in your area; and
2. by email to inform you about significant changes to how your data is used or held, for example if a new IT platform or membership database is introduced which might process your data.

Data Rights

You may request access to the data held about you by each Masonic entity, and rectification of that data if applicable, or object to the processing of that data, by submitting a request to the relevant Masonic entity.  Where data is held on the basis of your consent, you may also request that it be deleted. 

The secretary of your Lodge and, if applicable, Scribe E. of your Chapter will provide on request details of your data controllers and their contact details.  The United Grand Lodge of England and Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England are at Freemasons’ Hall, 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ. Their data protection officer can be contacted at [email protected].  If you are resident in the EEA you may use the above details or alternatively you may contact the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter’s appointed EEA Representative, Michael Hadjiconstantas, at PO Box 70601, Limassol, 3800, Cyprus.

III. Use of Freemasons’ data for events

If you choose to attend events organised by Masonic entities your data will be processed, retained and shared to administer those events.  This commonly includes your name on seating plans and attendance lists, details of your mobility needs and dietary preferences and your payment information and, if you owe money, your contact details.  This data is processed on the basis of the organiser’s legitimate interests except for mobility needs and some dietary preferences data which is processed based on your consent and the payment information and any personal data arising from seeking or obtaining payment, which is processed on the basis of the performance of a contract and then on the basis of legitimate interests of the Masonic entity in keeping normal tax and business records.  This data is held up to 7 years after the event and is commonly shared with the venue and, if applicable, the caterers to the extent necessary for them to provide their respective services. 

IV. Use of Freemasons’ data by Masonic charities

Masonic charities need to keep their donor databases accurate and up to date.  If you choose to donate to a Masonic charity, then Masonic entities may permit that Masonic charity to access your name and address data to verify your information.  The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interests of that charity.   

Masonic charities provide, among other work, support to Freemasons, former Freemasons, their relatives and dependants.  When a Masonic charity receives an application for relief which is dependent on your status as a Freemason or former Freemason, for fraud prevention purposes it may be granted access to your personal data held by relevant Masonic entities.  The charity may only use this personal data to verify your status as a Freemason to the extent that it is relevant for an application for relief it has received.  

V. Criminal convictions

Criminal conviction data will only be used by your Lodge, the relevant Metropolitan, Provincial or District Grand Lodge and the United Grand Lodge of England to: 

1. determine your suitability to become a Freemason;
2. determine your suitability to remain a Freemason; or
3. maintain records to prevent you from improperly re-applying for membership if you have ceased to be a Freemason by resignation or expulsion.

Freemasons are expected to conform to high standards.  In relation to purpose 1. above, as a candidate you must disclose any criminal convictions, except that you may choose whether to disclose a conviction if it is spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.  The legal basis on which this data is processed is your consent.  You can withdraw your consent and request erasure of your criminal conviction data at any time by notifying your proposer and seconder that you wish to cancel your application. 

If convicted of an offence when a Freemason, you must report certain criminal convictions to your Lodge Master or the Grand Secretary in accordance with Paragraph 2 of the Schedule to the Book of Constitutions.  The Master of your Lodge or others may also report such convictions to other Masonic entities in accordance with the Book of Constitutions and the disciplinary processes of Freemasonry.  The data in these reports and in any historical application forms is used for purpose 2. above and data in them can be retained for purpose 3. above.  The legal basis on which this data is processed is the legitimate interests of the Masonic entities as membership organisations in upholding their values.  The processing falls within the “processing by not-for-profit bodies” exemption to permit processing of criminal convictions data.   

VI. Archiving and historical research

Many Masonic records which may contain your data are archived for the public interest and kept for historical research.  When they are no longer needed by the relevant Masonic Entity they are loaned or given to the Library and Museum of Freemasonry, a fully accredited Museum and a charity registered in England with charity registration number 1058497.  The records which are loaned are transferred permanently to the charity when the Masonic Entity considers appropriate. 

The charity currently restricts access to the records for 70 years except where they might contain sensitive personal information in which case access is restricted for 100 years. These periods are subject to change to reflect best practice.  After this time the records are made available to academic researchers and others in accordance with the charity’s work.  More information about the charity’s work can be found at https://museumfreemasonry.org.uk.
