The Midland Railway Study Centre is a partnership of Derby City Council, the Roy F. Burrows Midland Collection Trust and the Midland Railway Society. Administration is handled by the Midland Railway Society and it is this organisation's Privacy and Data Protection Policy which encompasses the Midland Railway Study Centre.

The only "personal data" which is collected by the Midland Railway Study Centre consists of emails and correspondence received in the course of our activity of making Midland Railway history available to researchers.

In order to fulfil that function it is sometimes necessary to share that correspondence within the three partner organisations. Such sharing is limited to the extent and frequency that is necessary, and if appropriate, correspondence will be anonymised.

If enquires received by the Midland Railway Study Centre are to be published as an appeal for information, contact details of the enquirer will be removed and the Study Centre coordinator will act as the point of contact - unless the enquirer asks for their contact details to be published.

Personal data will not be communicated outside the three partner organisations without the specific and informed consent of the person concerned.

On the basis that learning about the Midland Railway is an ongoing process, with new knowledge always being acquired, correspondence and enquiries to the Midland Railway Study Centre are retained on an indefinite basis so that new relevant information to old enquiries can be communicated.
