1. About this policy

Maroochy River Rowing Club ("MRRC," "we," "us") is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

2. Information we collect

We may collect:

• Contact details (name, email, phone, address) via our website contact form and newsletter signup

• Emergency contact and medical information relevant to safe participation in rowing
• Photos and video taken at training, regattas, and club events, which may be used for club promotion (see Section 6)
• Website usage information (via standard analytics)

MRRC does not collect, store, or hold bloodwork, mineral analysis, or other health data generated through our nutrition and health partners. Any information you share with them as part of their services is subject to their own privacy practices, not this policy.

3. Why we collect it

We use personal information to:

• Administer membership and squad participation
• Communicate about training, events, and club news
• Ensure the safety and wellbeing of rowers, including emergency response
• Support athlete development through our nutrition and strength & conditioning partners
• Meet our obligations to Rowing Queensland and Rowing Australia, including nominations for representative programs
• Comply with our legal and child safety obligations

4. Children's information

Many of our members are under 18. Where we collect personal information about a child, we do so with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian, and we take particular care with any sensitive or health information relating to minors.

5. Disclosure to third parties

Membership and registration data held in our member portal (Revolutionise Sport) is accessible in full by Revolutionise Sport as the platform provider, and by Rowing Queensland and Rowing Australia as our governing bodies. This is a standard requirement of club affiliation and competition eligibility across the sport.

We may also share personal information with:

• Government or regulatory bodies, where required by law

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

6. Photos and media

We may photograph or film training sessions, regattas, and club events for use on our website, social media, and promotional material. Parents/guardians may request that their child not be included by contacting us directly (see Section 9).

7. Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, including secure storage in our member portal and restricted access to sensitive health information.

8. Access and correction

You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you or your child by contacting us using the details below.

9. Complaints and contact

If you have concerns about how we handle personal information, please contact us at [privacy@mrrc.club]. If you're not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
