In certain circumstances, it is appropriate that the Club shares or discloses personal data.
Where possible and appropriate, the data subject’s consent will be sought prior to any sharing
or disclosure.
Personal data will only be shared without the subject’s consent in the following circumstances:
Records of all data sharing and disclosures, data sharing requests, the conditions for sharing or
disclosure, and the outcomes of such activities, are maintained by the National Liberal Club.
GDPR states that organisations must ensure ‘appropriate security of personal data, including
protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction
or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures’. With continual changes to
both technology and the demand for ever-easier ways by which information can be accessed
and shared, it is important that a consistent approach be adopted to safeguard information.
The National Liberal Club will ensure that appropriate technical and organisational measures
are in place, supported by privacy impact and risk assessments, to ensure a high level of
security for members’ personal and confidential data, and a secure environment for information
held both manually and electronically.
Records management refers to a set of activities required for systematically controlling the
creation, distribution, use, maintenance, and disposition of recorded information maintained as
evidence of business activities and transactions.
Good records management practises ensure not only record quality, but that personal data is
only kept for as long as necessary for its original purpose, and help support data minimisation.
The National Liberal Club is committed to implementing robust records management policy,
process and practises to ensure compliance with the GDPR.
