Data Privacy Policy 2024
Introduction:
Dartford Orienteers ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018, the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation, and associated UK data privacy and data protection legislation.
As a not-for-profit organisation whose processing is restricted to specific purposes, we are exempt from notification to the UK Information Commissioner but the principles setting out rules and safeguards still apply.
The purposes for which we process personal data are:
- establishing or maintaining membership;
- supporting a not-for-profit body or association; or
- providing or administering activities for either our members or those who have contact with us.
According to the Data Protection Principles specified in the legislation we must make sure the information is:
- used fairly, lawfully and transparently
- used for specified, explicit purposes
- used in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to only what is necessary
- accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- kept for no longer than is necessary
- handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised processing, access, loss, destruction or damage
This Data Privacy Policy informs members, prospective members and participants in our events of the principles and practices we follow when collecting, processing, and safeguarding your personal information; what data we hold; how we use it; and what rights you have around your personal data.
