Disclosure to Service Providers

We take your privacy seriously. We do not sell, trade, rent or give your personal information to advertisers or external companies.

However, we may share minimal data with trusted third-party service providers solely to help us operate the Association. These may include:

These providers are only authorised to use your information to perform services on our behalf and are required to keep your information confidential. We will otherwise only disclose your information if required to do so by law.

We take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is secure and protected from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, or modification.

Our website uses SSL encryption (HTTPS) to protect data transmitted during login and registration.

Access to the membership database is restricted to authorized Committee members (e.g. the President, Secretary, Public Officer and Treasurer) for administrative purposes only.
