Data Protection
PRIVACY NOTICE FOR OUR MEMBERS
We at Orienteering Ireland want to make sure all the personal details we hold about you are safe and secure, so we have put together this note to tell all members of affiliated clubs, and all participants in orienteering, who are not club members, how we make sure we just do that, and what to do in case you have any questions for us or want to see what information we have. We are what is known as a data controller. This means we have control over how your details are used and who we pass them to.
Sometimes organisations need to appoint an individual called a “Data Protection Officer” to make sure that they are being very careful with your information. We don’t need to have a Data Protection Officer, but we have decided to put together a team of people instead to make sure your details are safe. They can be contacted at dataliaison@orienteering.ie in case you have any questions.
