RI’s updates about data privacy

Rotary values the privacy of its members as well as nonmembers who participate in Rotary projects and activities. We’ve made some updates to protect that privacy:
  • Enhancements to the Grant Center. We’ve added reminders to Steps 7, 8, and 10 of the global grant application about the importance of protecting others’ personal data by not including sensitive information, such as government ID numbers, religion, race, or health information, in your global grant application. This reminder has also been added to the financial details section of the global grant report.
  • Model release guidelines. Feeling inspired to take photos of the smiling faces of those who benefited from your grant-funded project? If you take images or videos of any identifiable person, you need to get their consent before you use or publish the images or videos. If you’re not sure how to start, here’s more information to guide you as you create promotional content to tell your club or district’s story. at https://my.rotary.org/en/what-you-need-know-about-creating-promotional-content
