Settled case summary #17 — A not-for-profit association
A not-for-profit association
A member of a not-for-profit association complained that he was required to present a second piece of identification, in addition to his membership card, to receive member discounts. The association implemented this policy to prevent non-members from misusing membership privileges, which violated agreements with vendors and resulted in lost revenue. The complainant was satisfied with the explanation and the complaint was settled.

Settled Case summary #16: Personal information on receipts removed, information collected when goods returned is limited (November 21, 2005)
A retail chain
A complainant raised concerns about a retail chain printing customer names, credit card numbers, and expiry dates on receipts, and requiring a driver's licence and credit card information for refunds. The retail chain subsequently updated its systems to mask personal information on receipts and changed its refund policy to no longer record identification details, only collecting name, address, and telephone number. Both the complainant and the OPC were satisfied with these changes.
