 Whoever holds data outside the DMS within the club should undertake regular reviews to ensure that your personal information is only accessible by the Rotary members and our service/host providers securely and only for the purpose collected and destroyed once the data has reached its planned time of use. 

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.
