If the Club identifies a new purpose for which an individual’s Personal Information could be used, it will obtain their consent before using their Personal Information for that purpose.   The Club does not sell any individual’s Personal Information to third parties.

The Club may collect, use, retain or disclose Personal Information without an individual’s knowledge or consent in circumstances where such collection, use, retention or disclosure is permitted or as required by law.

Subject to certain legal and contractual requirements, individuals can refuse to consent to the Club’s collection, use, retention or disclosure of information about them, or they may withdraw their consent to the Club’s further collection, use, retention or disclosure of information at any time in the future by giving the Club reasonable notice.  However, if a Member refuses or withdraws their consent, the Club may not be able to provide them, or continue to provide them, with services.  Similarly, if any Other Individual refuses or withdraws their consent, the Club may not be able to have any further dealings with them

LIMITING USE, DISCLOSURE AND RETENTION
The Club will retain Personal Information as long as it is required to meet the purpose for which it was collected.  The Club may also retain Personal Information for a longer period if required to do so by law.  When such time limits have expired and the individual’s Personal Information is no longer needed for the purpose that it was collected for, the Club has procedures to destroy, delete, erase or convert the Personal Information to an anonymous form.

ACCURACY
The Club endeavours to keep all individual’s Personal Information that it has in its possession or control as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it is used.  The Club will update Personal Information only if it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and if the information is used on an ongoing basis.  The Club also relies on its Members and Other Individuals to keep certain Personal Information accurate, complete, and current, such as a change in address. 

Despite the Club’s efforts, errors sometimes do occur.  Should an individual identify that the Club holds incorrect or out-of-date Personal Information about them, the Club will make the proper changes.  Where appropriate, the Club will communicate these changes to other parties who may have unintentionally received incorrect Personal Information from the Club.
