USING AND DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION
All personal information collected by GCVC is only available to those authorised individuals who need to handle that information for the purpose of its collection.
In some circumstances, personal information may also be disclosed outside GCVC (ie. to uniform suppliers, sponsors, medical providers, those organisations required by law, mailing houses and other service providers,) and outside Australia. In such circumstances, GCVC will require such parties to keep the information confidential and not to use the information other than the purpose for which it is disclosed to them.
We will assume consent to use non-sensitive information to provide better services and for direct marketing purposes (this may include receiving up-to-date information about events, news and sponsors’ products/services/offers etc). GCVC will also assume consent to disclose personal information to service providers (such as a mailing house) to assist with this process.
If a person has an outstanding debt for more than six months to GCVC, the amount of that debt and the name of the indebted person may be placed on a register maintained by GCVC and distributed to State and National bodies. If a person listed on that register applies for membership of a different Member State or Membership Club, the circumstances of and reason for that debt may be disclosed by GCVC.
