The legal basis for holding your data

Rotarians have a contractual relationship with Rotary and the Club.  To protect us and our charitable status data concerning your membership must be retained and processed for the duration of your membership or longer if a legal or statutory obligation exists.  You have the right to ask us to delete your data from our records, by doing so we will not be able to extend your membership and your membership will be deemed lapsed with settlement of any debts required. 

We have a legitimate interest in holding data from those who volunteer to support the Club, enter Club events or seek to participate in Club activities or seek grants or other financial support from the Club.  You have the right to ask for your data to be erased and our retention policy set out below applies. 

If we hold your data or we seek your data as a third party for the Club’s purposes then we will renew your active consent at regular periods, usually annually, and erase your data at your request at any time, subject to any legal or statutory duty that prevents us from doing so.

  • The name of your Spouse/Partner
  • Your previous service within Rotary, if applicable
  • Where appropriate, your UK tax status in relation to Gift Aid

We may also ask for additional information, for example but not exclusively, to assist The Treasurer, to process and manage your entry into any Club event or activity or to be able to assess properly any application for a grant or support that you might make to us.

For those who volunteer their help, participate in our events and activities, or seek grants or support from us, we will collect from you only data relevant to those activities.   The scope and nature of the data requirements will be specific to the particular need and will be made clear from the forms or information request sheets we send you.
