How do we store your data?
1. Security
All of the personal data we process is processed by our staff in the UK.
Electronic data and databases are stored on secure computer systems and we control who has access to information (using both physical and electronic means). Our staff receive data protection training and we have a set of detailed data protection procedures which personnel are required to follow when handling personal data.
2. Payment security
All electronic XJS Club forms that request financial data will use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to encrypt the data between your browser and our servers.
The XJS Club uses Paypal as its principal method of monetary collection. We do not see any of your banking or card details during any monetary collection and cannot be held responsible for websites or companies that are outside of our control. We use Paypal because we have found it to be the most secure method of collection whereby your banking details are not passed on to us and we do not collect any data from your transactions with us.
The XJS Club complies with the payment card industry data security standard (PCI-DSS) published by the PCI Security Standards Council, and will never store card details.
Of course, we cannot guarantee the security of your home computer or the internet, and any online communications (e.g. information provided by email or our website) are at the user’s own risk.

We will only use and store information for as long as it required for the purposes it was collected for. We continually review what information we hold, and delete what is no longer required.
