4.2. We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised alteration or destruction.
4.3. Please note, however, that where you are transmitting information to us over the internet, then given the internet is not a secure medium, we cannot definitely guarantee the security of this information.

5. Who else has access to the information you provide us?
5.1. We will never sell your personal data. We will not share your personal data with any third parties without your prior consent (which you are free to withhold) except where required to do so by law or as set out in the table in paragraph 3 above or paragraph 5.2 below.
5.2. We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, agents and subcontractors to us for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (e.g. use of Google Groups or equivalent). However, we disclose only the personal data that is necessary for the third party to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own purposes. We ensure such third party service providers are also GDPR compliant.
6. How long do we keep your information?
6.1. We will hold your personal data on our systems for as long as you are a member of Canoe Avon and for as long afterwards as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations. We will review your personal data every year to establish whether we are still entitled to process it.

Where members have left, we will delete personal data from our records, but retain details of when membership was purchased and who for.
6.2. We securely destroy all financial information once we have used it and no longer need it.
