Privacy Policy
Our Commitment
The Concord and Ryde Sailing Club Inc. respects its members’ rights to privacy.
In handling their personal information we are committed to complying with the
Privacy Act 1988 and the National Privacy Principles.
We collect members’ personal information when they join and when they pay
their annual subscriptions. This information enables us to provide sailing facilities
and a sailing environment commensurate with members’ needs. We do not collect
information that is “sensitive personal information” as defined by the Privacy Act.
Providing Information to other organisations
Personal information is treated as confidential and is generally only used for the
purpose for which it is collected.
In certain circumstances we may need to provide members’ personal information
to associated sailing bodies such as the Yachting Association of NSW and the
Australian Yachting Federation. Statistical information based on members’
personal information may be used in dealings with these and other related sailing
organizations, with bodies such as Waterways Authorities and with government
departments at various levels. Information is only provided to these other
organizations to the extent required by law, or to the extent necessary to protect
members’ interests in the sport of sailing or through obligations arising from
affiliation with associated sporting bodies.
Information we are required to send members
Under our constitution we are required to send members certain information, such
as notices of meeting, elections and changes to our constitution. As we are legally
obliged to provide this detail to members, it is not possible for them to be excluded
from receiving it.
Members rights to access information
Under the Privacy Act members have the right to access personal information we
hold about them. Where we incur a cost in providing it to members this cost may
be passed on to them. If the information is incorrect, members have the right to
require us to amend it.
Accuracy of information
We rely on the accuracy of the information members provide. If members believe
or know that the information is incorrect, out of date or incomplete, they should
advise the President, Secretary, or Treasurer who will make reasonable efforts to
correct it.
