Privacy Statement and the Data Protection Act

Data Protection Act 1998 Statement of Policy

The Data Protection Act imposes rules and safeguards on those who hold and process personal data, ie data relating to living identifiable individuals. Details of usage must be notified to the Information Commissioner, with some exceptions which include not for profit organisations whose usage is restricted to specified purposes. RAF-CoarseAngling.info is exempt from notification but the principles setting out rules and safeguards apply. In the interests of being open and fair, RAF-CoarseAngling.info wishes to inform users of the data held and how it is used.

Some or all of the following data may be held about some or all members of RAF Coarse Angling: name, email address, phone and fax numbers. The data are held in electronic form. The data are obtained directly from an individual person to whom they relate or via the RAF Coarse Angling Secretary.

The data are used strictly for social purposes in order to allow the committee of the RAF Coarse Angling Club to contact club members by email and the webmaster to maintain permissions lists for the password-protected area only.

Extracts from the personal data may be published - exclusively - on RAF-CoarseAngling.info. Any additional information held which is not published on the website will not be made available to any third party outside the club membership without the express written consent of the individual concerned.

The data will not be available for commercial purposes.
