5.2 We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, agents and subcontractors to us for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf, e.g. to print newsletters and send you mailings. However, we disclose only the personal data that is necessary for the third party to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own purposes.

6. How long do we keep your information?

6.1 We will hold your personal data on our systems for as long as you are a Member of the Club and for as long afterwards as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.  We will review your personal data every year to establish whether we are still entitled to process it. If we decide that we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with legal obligations.

6.2 The Club will ensure that it:

  • reviews the length of time for which personal data is retained;
  • considers the purpose(s) for which the personal data is held deciding whether and for how long to retain it;
  • securely deletes personal data that is no longer needed for the purpose(s), subject to compliance with applicable legal requirements and internal record-keeping policy; and
  • updates, archives or securely deletes information if it goes out of date.

The appropriate retention period is likely to depend on the following:

  • what the personal data is used for;
  • the surrounding circumstances;
  • any legal / regulatory requirements; and
  • Club policy and/or best practice.

6.3 We will securely destroy your personal data once we have used it and no longer need it. Where the Club cannot delete personal data for legal, regulatory or technical reasons the Club will ensure the security and confidentiality of the data is protected and only use it for the specified purpose for which it is kept.

7.  Data Breach & Incident Management

A personal data breach is defined as the unauthorised or accidental disclosure of, access to, loss, theft or alteration, destruction or damage of personal data.  Examples of personal data security breaches include, but not limited to the following:

  • loss or theft of hard copy personal data;
  • disclosing personal data (via letter, fax, email, text message, etc.) to the wrong recipient; or
  • unsecure disposal of hard copy records containing personal data in non-confidential waste bins, resulting in loss or theft of that data.

A personal data breach also includes circumstances where personal data appears to have been lost, stolen or otherwise potentially exposed, even if it is later determined that personal data was not actually exposed.

All Royal Solent Yacht Club staff must immediately report all personal data breaches of which they become aware to the Club’s nominated Data Protection Officer (Club Secretary) irrespective of the perceived severity of the breach.
