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, for instance:

  • Rotary District 1210
  • Rotary International, including TRF
  • Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland, including RFUK
  • Banking organisations – those that provide our banking/payment services
  • Google & IONOS - our hosting service providers

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 RIBII Donations Trust.

When you give information to us it may be shared within the wider organisation to facilitate your donations and to provide the service afforded to you as part of that donation. Access is limited to those people who have a legitimate reason to access it.

On occasion, the club may collect personal data for our individual activities (such as an event requiring personal information for registration) and are therefore independent data controllers. The club may also act as a data processor for some of your personal information associated with your membership via the DMS and My Rotary. This means that we are also responsible for protecting your data under GDPR legislation whilst it is in our safekeeping and we will process your data in accordance with the privacy notices of the club, district, RIBI and RI as appropriate.

3) Sharing with third parties

Where you have been nominated for an award the information given to us may be shared with independent members of the judging panel.

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 will ensure that there are appropriate physical and technical controls in place to protect your personal details.

We will review who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your personal information is only accessible by appropriate members, Rotary officers, Rotary staff, third parties working with us to deliver club projects 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

The club may hold your information in various ways depending on your relationship with us, for instance:

  • Members’ personal information is stored via the DMS and My Rotary and in some instances may held by individual club officers or members for the purpose of specific club activities.
  • As a ‘Friend of this Rotary Club’, with your consent, your personal information may be stored on the DMS and in some instances may be held by individual club officers or members for the purpose of specific club activities.
  • As a non-member of Rotary, with your consent, your personal information will be held by individual club officers or members for the purpose of specific club activities.

Your personal information held on the DMS will be held securely within the UK or the EU by Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland and their secure hosting service provider. You can view Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland’s privacy notice by visiting their website.

However, Rotary International run its operations outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

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.

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 membership, volunteering, any enquiry you make to us, donations, event registrations or other services as part of your membership, club activity or as requested by you. 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 can be retained for up to three years after an event etc.

Individual members are responsible for keeping their own personal information up to date and have access to the self-service systems within the DMS or My Rotary for the purpose of updating their profile. Relevant officers of this club (such as club secretary) can also assist you in keeping your information up to date. In addition, where necessary, we will also keep your information accurate and up-to-date and will regularly review this with you.

Non-members of Rotary (including ‘Friends of this Rotary Club’) should also keep their personal information held by the club up to date and you can do this via the club secretary.

Your rights

The General Data Protection Regulations gives you certain rights and these are listed below for your convenience, further clarification of your rights is available on the Information Commissioners website.

  • You have a right to be informed when your personal data is being collected, what is collected and how it will be used or shared.
  • You have a right of access to your personal data: the right of access allows you to be aware of and verify the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data. Members and donors have access to their personal data via self-service systems such as the RIBI Data Management System (DMS) or My Rotary (within the Profile area). You can also request a copy of the information which we hold on you. This information will be provided free of charge, unless the request is found to be manifestly unfounded or excessive then a reasonable fee will be charged. The application should be made in writing, by letter or email, and addressed to the club, contact details shown below, enclosing two proofs of identification. Applicants should be aware that where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because they are repetitive, the club can:
    • charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information; or
    • refuse to respond.
  • You have a right in certain circumstances to have inaccurate personal data rectified, blocked (restrict processing), erased (right to be forgotten), or destroyed.
  • You have a right in certain circumstances to object to the processing of your personal data for such reasons as direct marketing, automated decision making, profiling; although we can confirm we make no decisions on you using an automated process.
  • You have a right in certain circumstances to data portability.

In certain situations, these rights may not apply, for example if you are a valid member we will need to communicate with you about your membership and those services afforded to you as part of that membership; you hold a club or district office and we need to communicate with you in relation to that office, in which case you will not be able to unsubscribe from certain communications.

We collect and process your personal data through legitimate interests or because you have provided it to us to enable us to deliver a service to you.  We will only process your personal data as you would reasonably expect us to. You can opt out of our general member mailings at any time.
