Rotary Epsom Privacy Notice

 

Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) Epsom Rotary Club
Members’ Privacy Notice

Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland and Epsom Rotary Club (“we”) promise to respect the confidentiality of any personal data you share with us, or that we have access to through Rotary International.  We will keep it safe, and we will always take every effort to protect your privacy.

[For the purpose of this privacy notice, Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland (RIBI) also includes Rotary Foundation United Kingdom (RFUK) and the RIBI Donations Trust].

We pride ourselves on our honesty and openness and will always be clear how, when and why we collect and process your information; we promise we will never do anything with your details that you wouldn’t reasonably expect.

It is expected that the club may also process member personal data on behalf of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland and the Rotary organisation and it too will also be bound by this privacy notice.
We collect information from you when joining our club
You may give us your information when you join as a member, begin volunteering as a Rotary Associate or becoming an Honorary Rotarian or just as a supporter. We are responsible for your data at all times.

When using our website by typing data in or when you use Cookies
Like most websites, we use “cookies” to help us make our site, and the way you use it, better. We do not store any personal data in the cookies that we use.

Cookies mean that a website will remember you. They’re small text files that sites transfer to your computer (or phone or tablet). They make interacting with a website faster and easier – for example by automatically filling your name and address in text fields

What personal information we collect and how we use it
We will only ever capture the minimum amount of information that we need to in relation to your membership, donation or services we provide to you and we promise to keep your information secure. The personal data we will usually collect is:

•    Your name
•    Your contact details
•    Your date of birth
•    The name of your Spouse/Partner, where appropriate
•    Your Classification

We may also ask for additional information, for example, to assist The Hon Treasurer

How we will use your data
We will use your personal data for the legitimate interest of conducting core business activities, these will include:

•    Administer your membership
•    Communicating organisational messages and information to members, district and club officers
•    To present our website and its contents to you and to allow you to participate in interactive features on our website
•    In any other way we may describe when you provide the information
•    For any other purposes with your consent

Sensitive information
We do not collect any personal information on members classified as ‘sensitive’ under GDPR.

Data Sharing
1)    Our service/host providers
In the course of our legitimate business activities, there may be a need for us to share, or give access to, your personal data to third parties that provide us with services or host our applications/software that you may access. We will ensure that data processing agreements, compliant to GDPR, are in place before sharing with, or giving access to, your data with any of our service/host providers.

2)    Sharing within the Rotary organisation
The Rotary organisation is made up of Rotary International, The Rotary Foundation (TRF), Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland, the Rotary Foundation United Kingdom (RFUK) and the RIBI Donations Trust.

When you give information to us it will be shared within the wider organisation to facilitate your membership or donations and to provide the service afforded to you as part of that membership/donation. We will ensure that data processing agreements, compliant to GDPR, are in place before sharing your data within the wider organisation.

Epsom Rotary club and Districts within Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland are data processors for some of your personal information associated with your membership and will process your data in accordance with the RIBI privacy notice. We also collect personal data for our individual club and district activities and are therefore also independent data controllers. This means we are also legally responsible for protecting your data under GDPR legislation whilst in our safekeeping.

Sharing with third parties
We will never commercially sell your personal data to anyone else.
We will only ever share your personal data in other circumstances, not listed above, if we have your explicit and informed consent at the time of collection. However, we may need to disclose your details if required to the police, other agencies, for example HMRC, regulatory bodies or our legal advisors.

How we keep your information safe and who has access to it
We ensure that there are appropriate physical and technical controls in place to protect your personal details. We undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your personal information is only accessible by appropriate staff, Rotary members and our service/host providers.
We have a duty to report certain types of personal data breaches to the relevant supervisory authority, and where feasible, we will do this within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If a breach is detected and likely to result in a high risk of adversely affecting you, we will inform you without undue delay.

Where we store your information
Your personal information will be hosted securely within the UK or the EU by Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland.
At Club level, your personal information is held securely on password protected systems, on virus protected computers held on locked premises with limited access

However, Rotary International run its operations outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Although they may not be subject to the same data protection laws as organisations based in the UK, we will take steps to make sure they provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with UK data protection law. By submitting your personal information to us you understand your personal data will be transferred, stored and processed at a location outside the EEA. You can view Rotary International’s privacy notice by visiting their website: https://my.rotary.org/en/privacy-policy

How long we retain your information and how we keep it up to date
We will only keep your information for as long as we need it to assist you with your enquiry, process your membership, donation, event registration or other services associated with your Rotary membership. There are statutory timescales on how long we should keep your information. We shall delete your information according to these statutory limits, or according to guidance issued by the Information Commissioner.

Individual members are responsible for keeping their own personal data up to date by informing the Hon Secretary, by making changes on the Epsom Rotary Website, and have access to the RIBI Data Management System (DMS) or My Rotary on the RIBI website for this purpose. In addition, where necessary, we will keep your information accurate and up-to-date.
