Security of personal information
Updating information
Personal information may be retained on a computer held by the Club Membership Secretary. The name of the current Membership Secretary can be found in our constitution, which is published on the club website. Names, dog names and contact details may be retained at the club premises in an area inaccessible to the general public: this is to enable all trainers to inform of late cancellations to classes. Names, dog names, dog breed, ages, and other information about dogs, and any relevant health information will be made available to trainers and Committee members so that the club can run efficiently and safely.
We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. This includes security of information held on any computer. Personal information is only held on the computer hard drive and not held on a server.
