Our Promise

I, Roger Hyder, on behalf of Canterbury Golf Club, promise that we will:

1. Value the personal information entrusted to us and make sure we respect that trust;

2. Go further than just the letter of the law when it comes to handling personal information, and adopt good practice standards;

3. Consider and address the privacy risks first when we are planning to use or hold personal information in new ways, such as when introducing new systems;

4. Be open with individuals about how we use their information and who we give it to;

5. Make it easy for individuals to access and correct their personal information;

6. Keep personal information to the minimum necessary and delete it when we no longer need it;

7. Have effective safeguards in place to make sure personal information is kept securely and does not fall into the wrong hands;

8. Provide training to staff who handle personal information and treat it as a disciplinary matter if they misuse or don’t look after personal information properly;

9. Put appropriate financial and human resources into looking after personal information to make sure we can live up to our promises;

10. Regularly check that we are living up to our promises and report on how we are doing.
