Privacy and Security Policy for MGBRegisterSA.com

Effective Date: 1st January 2026

The MGB Register South Australia (the "Club", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website MGBRegisterSA.com (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and other applicable laws.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect:

• Personal details: Name, email address, postal address, phone number (when you register as a member, contact us, or sign up for events/newsletters).
• Car-related info: Details about your MGB (e.g., model, year, registration number) for our club register.
• Automatically collected data: IP address, browser type, and usage data via cookies or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve the Site.

We do not collect sensitive information (e.g., financial details) unless necessary for specific events.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Manage club membership and communicate updates.
• Organize events, runs, and newsletters.
• Maintain the MGB register and share non-personal car info with members.
• Improve the Site and analyze usage.

We only process data for legitimate club purposes.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your data. We may share it with:

• Club committee members for administrative needs.
• Trusted service providers (e.g., email hosting or web analytics) under strict confidentiality.
• Legal authorities if required by law.

Member directories (names/emails/car details) may be shared internally with other members for club networking, but you can opt out.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including:

• Using HTTPS encryption on the Site.
• Secure storage and access controls.
• Regular updates to prevent breaches.

However, no online system is 100% secure—transmit data at your own risk (hackers love classics too, but we'll do our best to keep them out!).

5. Cookies and Tracking

The Site uses cookies for functionality and analytics. You can manage preferences via your browser settings.

6. Your Rights

Under POPIA, you can:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Object to processing or withdraw consent.
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator.

Contact us at [your email, e.g., info@MGBRegisterSA.com] for requests.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for club purposes (e.g., active membership + a few years for records).

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy—changes will be posted here with a new effective date.
