PRIVACY

To assist us in the provision of products and services, we need to collect personal information about you. When you provide personal information you agree that this will be used by the Club under the terms of this statement. You may contact the Club Committee to access and seek correction of your personal information or complain about a breach of your privacy. If you do not agree, you must not provide your personal information, and you may be unable to access all of the Club products and services including but not limited to registration as a Club member. The Club may disclose your personal information to other parties and third parties who provide us products and services. From time to time, these third parties may be located (and therefore your personal information may be disclosed) overseas. The Club may use and disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes regarding the products and services you are signing up to receive, unless you opt-out (which you can do at any time).

The Privacy Amendment Act 2001 imposes obligations upon organisations collecting personal information to protect that information. The Club carries out ongoing marketing and communication activities to maintain a positive profile. Images of individuals in photographs or film are treated as personal information under the Privacy Act where the person’s identity is clear or can reasonably be worked out from that image. Photos and video footage of the Club’s members/event attendees are used regularly by the Club for a few purposes and under current legislation this practice can continue. These situations are generally to acknowledge the efforts of the members/event attendees, or for promotion of the club. The material may continue to be used for a number of years, even once the person’s membership/event attendance has ceased and that some of the products in which the material is used may have extended longevity. No remuneration is offered to members/event attendees for whom consent is given to take part in marketing or promotional activities. At all times ownership of any material obtained from the above activities will vest with the Club.***** ‘Use’ includes: to create, make copies of or reproduce or retain in any form, including by camera, video, webcam, closed circuit television, mobile phone or any form of digital recorder or device - including still or motion - ;and to distribute, publish or communicate in any form, including in newsletters and other print media, television and the Internet, in whole or in part, and to permit other persons to do so). *****
