Dear President
 
Reflecting the new Privacy Act of 2020, the District has updated the Privacy Policy document in accordance with the new Act and is now available for adoption by all Clubs in the District. 
 
As with the prior Privacy Policy document, it is envisaged you will have this document completed as required with your Club’s details and then you will notify all members of its existence and that it is available for consideration on the Club’s website, Club Runner and any other Club document storage facility such as dropbox. 
 
Also every Club is under the Privacy Act 2020 to appoint a Privacy Officer who is responsible for the Club’s management of the Privacy Information.  You will see at the bottom of the Policy, reference to the Privacy Officer being the contact person. 
 
It is envisaged each Club will also now amend its membership application form to record within it something like:
 
“I authorise pursuant to the Club’s Privacy Policy as attached to the Application, the collection, use and disclosure of my personal information in accordance with the principles of the Privacy Act 2020”.
 
Thanks
 
Yours in Rotary
 
Allan
