We promise to respect the confidentiality of any personal data you share with us, to keep it safe, and always take every effort to protect your privacy.

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.

Developing a better understanding of our contacts is crucial. Your personal data allows us to manage how we can maintain contact with you.

We collect information in the following ways:

When you give it to us DIRECTLY

There are many ways you may give us your information. For example, when you join as a member, begin volunteering, make a donation, purchase our products or communicate with us either by phone, in writing, including email or in person. We are responsible for your data at all times. This includes when you provide your details for an event.

When you give it to us INDIRECTLY

Your information may be shared with us by independent organisations for example, sites like Just Giving or other such services. These independent third parties will only share your information when you have consented. You should check their Privacy Notice when you provide your information to understand fully how they will process your data. We are required to keep Gift Aid data by law.

Via Social Media

Depending on your settings or the privacy notices for social media and messaging services like Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Twitter, you might give us permission to access information from those accounts or services.

Via information available publicly

This may include information found in places such websites (club, district, action groups etc), Companies House and information that has been published in articles/newspapers.

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.

Permission is sought from parent or guardian whenever data is required for under 18s including name, contact details, age, and school, such as the Rotary Young Speaker and Rotary Youth Leadership Award. This also includes permission for any images that may be used to publicise the results of competitions.

Information we may store

Members

In order to Legitimately conduct the business of the club, member contact details will be stored. This data is normally comprised of:

• Your name, Telephone number, Address, Email address, Membership number

If you have provided other information on your application form, such as gender, age/date of birth, profession, this may also be stored.

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. Clubs are divided into districts. Our club may share member information with our District 1110.

For members, 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.

For non-members, your data will be restricted to within the club.

Event contacts

If you have provided details for the purpose of event contact we will only store what you have provided, no more than:

• Your name, Telephone number, Address, Email address

If the connection is through a business we would normally store the name of the contact, the business address, business email address and telephone number.

If you have purchased a draw ticket with your name and email address, this will be maintained on a confidential list until such time as you inform us that you no longer wish to be contacted about future events.

How we keep your information safe and who has access

We ensure that there are appropriate physical and technical controls in place to protect your personal details. For example, confidential paper records are securely stored, our online forms are encrypted, and our network is protected and routinely monitored. Confidential paper waste is shredded.

We undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your personal information is only accessible by appropriate persons, 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.

Where we store your information

Your personal information will be held securely and accessible by persons authorised by Southampton Solent Rotary only.

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, for example, gift aid transactions must be retained indefinitely, financial records must be kept for 7 years, information associated with Health & Safety for three years after an event. We shall delete your information according to these statutory limits, or according to guidance issued by the Information Commissioner.
