This may include providing members with information about services and facilities at the Club, including events, functions and other Club activities.

Any sensitive information, such as health information, or the use of electric carts on the golf course, may be collected as required to comply with the rules of the Club. The Club has, and will continue to have, data quality procedures in place to check that personal information about members is accurate, complete, up to date and will aim to ensure that information is held securely at all times.

Members have a right to access personal information pertaining to themselves, held by the Club, on request, unless one of the exceptions under the legislation will apply. If a member establishes that information held is not accurate, complete or up to date, then reasonable steps will be taken to correct the information. The Riverside Golf Club Committee of Management will be designated to manage the Privacy Policy.

If members have any complaints or concerns about privacy matters, they should contact the General Manager. It is understood members will be able to contact the Privacy Commissioner in regard to any matter.
