Please note that it is impossible for FIBKA to provide membership services in relation to insurance and An Beachaire in the event that you circle “No” to 1) and 2) above.
Circling “No” to 3) or 4) above will not restrict the provision of membership services in relation to insurance and postage of An Beachaire 2018 issues.
Apart from the above stated purposes, your personal details will not be used or shared with any other party, except in circumstances where this Association or FIBKA is compelled to do so by the laws of the State.
Storage and Retention of your personal data:
All reasonable security measures will be taken to ensure that your personal data will be stored by this Association and by FIBKA in a manner designed to maintain privacy and confidentiality, and to prevent unauthorised access, alteration or deletion. FIBKA Membership Secretary and Manager of An Beachaire will store your personal data in paper records and in electronic form on encrypted computers. This Association will store your personal data in paper records and in electronic form on encrypted computers.
Your personal data will be retained by this Association for 3 years and by FIBKA for a period of at least 10 years, after which it will be destroyed in a manner consistent with best practice at the time. 10 years is the minimum retention period required under current best practice guidelines, because membership details form part of the financial records of this Association and of FIBKA.

This requirement will be reviewed periodically and amended as appropriate. Note: currently we are advised that 6 years is adequate for this purpose.
