  • New for 2024, Directors Club is creating a localised membership structure to reflect the hybrid work patterns. 

    Introducing Directors Club Branches

    Each member is invited to join either one or two branches of Directors Club depending on their work pattern.

    You may join a branch close to the office building you attend most frequently. For example, if you work out of an office building on St James's Square, London your Directors Club branch will be SW1.

    Members can also join a branch close to their home office. For example, if you live in Battersea, London your Directors Club branch will be SW11.

    Our aim is to organise local branch gatherings, as well as regional and national events.

    Please note you only have to enter the first half of the postcode, for example SW11. This preserves your location anonymity. 

  • B2B Communities

    S-class members are requested to join at least one of our B2B Communities (below). You may join more than one community if you wish. 

  • Ups & Downs Report

    Exclusive to S-class members, each Friday at 8am Directors Club publish the Ups & Downs Report by email. This chronicles the rise and fall of UK business fortunes and markets.

    New business opportunities arise in the face of both fortune and misfortune. Ups & Downs is therefore a digest of opportunities for marketers and sales leaders.

    The weekly Ups & Downs report is free of charge and exclusive to S-class members.

    You can unsubscribe at any time.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data.
     
    YOUR PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
     
    Certain applicable data protection laws give you specific rights in relation to your personal data. In particular, if the processing of your personal data is subject to the GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

    • Right of access: If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal data along with certain other details such as the purpose of the data processing. If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee.
     
    • Right to rectification: If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to ask that we correct or complete it. If we shared your personal data with others, we will tell them about the correction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data so you can contact them directly.
     
    • Right to erasure: You may ask us to delete or remove your personal data, such as where our legal basis for the processing is your consent and you withdraw consent. If we shared your data with others, we will tell them about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data with so you can contact them directly. We may continue processing personal data where this is necessary for a legitimate interest in doing so, as described in this Privacy Policy.
     
    • Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to restrict or ‘block’ the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the personal data or object to us processing it. We will tell you before we lift any restriction on processing. If we shared your personal data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your personal data so you can contact them directly.
     
    • Right to data portability: You have the right to obtain your personal data from us that you consented to give us or that was provided to us as necessary in connection with our contract with you. We will provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You may reuse it elsewhere.
     
    • Right to object: You may ask us at any time to stop processing your personal data, and we will do so:

    If we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your personal data — unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or

    If we are processing your personal data for direct marketing.
     
    • Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing of your data before we received notice that you wished to withdraw your consent.
     
    • Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: If you have a concern about our privacy practices, including the way we handled your personal data, you can report it to the UK data protection authority (the Information Commissioner’s Office or ICO), or, as the case may be, any other competent data protection authority of an EU member state that is authorised to hear those concerns (you may find EU Data Protection Authorities’ contact information here.)
