Contact Confirmation Campaign

Use Contact Confirmation Campaign to keep club data accurate, appropriately accessed and retained only for a clear purpose.

What could this idea change?

It reduces avoidable administration and makes club information easier to find, use and hand over.

It may suit: Members who use or maintain the club's information, communications and digital tools.

A simple way to start

  1. Write the decision brief for Contact Confirmation Campaign: define which information assets, owners, permissions, retention and disposal rules the club needs, the starting evidence, people affected, local authority, resource limit, success signals and stop conditions. Who could lead it: Board sponsor and information owner
  2. Identify users and non-users, map access and digital-confidence barriers, explain data use and permissions and retain an equivalent human or non-digital route where essential participation is involved. Apply this specifically to Contact Confirmation Campaign and record which relevant experiences or users are still missing. Who could lead it: Board sponsor and information owner with the access and privacy contacts
  3. Build and test a bounded 90-day initiative with a clear outcome, participant choices, safeguards and decision date for Contact Confirmation Campaign; complete the Contact Confirmation Campaign Initiative Delivery Blueprint, rehearse the boundary wording and confirm who may decide, refer, pause, recover or close the work. Who could lead it: System lead, privacy contact and access tester
  4. Use synthetic or minimised test data, least privilege, versioned configuration, accessible instructions, exception handling and a rollback; do not expose live credentials or private member information. Capture only the evidence needed to judge whether Contact Confirmation Campaign advances accountable data governance. Who could lead it: System lead, privacy contact and access tester
  5. Compare the evidence with the starting point, validate meaning with affected participants or users, record gaps and unintended effects and prepare a completed delivery and evidence pack supporting a continue, adapt or stop decision without overstating what the trial proves. Who could lead it: System lead, privacy contact and access tester with an independent reviewer

What should we look for?

  • After 90 days, review Contact Confirmation Campaign. Look for named data owners, documented access, corrected records, working retention rules and completed requests for access or deletion.
  • Contact Confirmation Campaign produces a completed delivery and evidence pack supporting a continue, adapt or stop decision by the promised decision date, with evidence limitations, participation gaps and unintended effects stated.
  • People affected can explain the purpose, their choices, the boundary and how to raise an access, privacy, safety or governance concern.
  • The trial shows whether accountable data governance improved from the recorded starting point without shifting hidden workload, risk or exclusion elsewhere.
  • Every accepted action has an owner, due date and completion evidence, and the club records a reasoned continue, adapt, refer, scale or stop decision.

Before we say yes

  • Does it fit a real local need?
  • Can people take part safely and fairly?
  • Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
  • Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
