Privacy Statement for U3A Bendigo

 

U3a Bendigo collects information from members upon enrolment and updates it as necessary. As with all incorporated bodies U3A Bendigo is required to keep a record of member's names, addresses and other contact information together with current membership status.

 

Records are also kept of members' class attendance, date of birth, gender, country of birth, telephone numbers and email addresses. This information is used to facilitate communication by the committee and course conveners to and from members.

 

U3A Bendigo provides statistical information to U3A NetWork as a statutory requirement; no identifying information is included. Members' information is held in hard copy in U3A's office files, and on a secure database.

 

The accuracy of their personal data can be checked by a member upon their request to the committee. If members request their personal information remain private, it will not be made available except under legal duress.

 

U3A Bendigo does not provide information about members to outside bodies. Should a requirement for this arise under law, the matter would be brought to members' attention before any information was made available.
