This Privacy Policy describes how we manage any personal information we hold about you and does not cover information held or collected about our employees.
We only collect personal information if it is reasonably necessary for one of our functions or activities, or as required by law.
The kinds of personal information we collect depend on the circumstances and your interactions with us.

If you provide us with personal information about another individual (such as listing them as your emergency contact), you must ensure that you have that individual’s consent to share their information with us.
We will only use your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected or:

We may use your personal information:

We may disclose personal information for these purposes to:
• your club

• our insurer
• our service providers who assist us with our operations
We do not ordinarily disclose personal information interstate or overseas.
You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information by writing to us using the details below. You will need to provide reasonable proof of your identity.
In some cases, it may not be possible for us to provide access to all of your personal information (for example, if doing so would impact the privacy of another individual).
If we cannot provide access, we will tell you why in writing.
We may charge a reasonable fee for providing access where appropriate, based on the effort involved in retrieving and supplying the information.
You may contact us if you wish to make a complaint or enquiry about how we handle your personal information.
We take all complaints and enquiries seriously and will try to resolve your issue as soon as reasonably practicable.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time without notice.
Any revised Privacy Policy will be published on our website and will take effect from the date of publication.
Your continued provision of personal information to us means you agree to the revised Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed of the most current version.
