photo ID what for? v2.0

The old thread has reached it's capacity and had to be closed, Go back and find it because it's exciting fun and informative.

The premise is that giving your photo ID and personal details to a sex orientated swingers club could result in your personal life being splashed across the web with devastating results for you and your family and work life.

Many club owners and party guests have been quite forceful in the defence of their right to collect your data and keep it in a datsbase.

they have stated that you are safer.

A little bit yes. But

really, How does it keep everyone safer?

You are in a club, someone pulls you into a room and attacks you, Did your ID protect you?

In the very least it may help to identify your attacker after the fact, and it may even keep some from doing such a thing, but not all, because it is a well known fact most attackers are known to their victims. So do you still think being on a database will protect you?

We have heard it wrongly stated how a club has to be licenced even if you bring your own alcohol and thats why they want your life history.

We have heard that they are "Private members clubs" and as such they have to collect your data. Wrong.

a private members club is just that: A club for it's members run by it's members it must have a chairman and a committee of it's members that make the rules. Do you think the clubs you go to are still "Private members clubs"?

I refer you to the law societies website.

A private members club is an unincorporated association as opposed to limited company and does not have a separate legal personality.

The rules must say something about how the club is run and how decisions are made and about who appoints the chairman and members of the committee.

So do those clubs that claim to be such clubs even know what type of business they are running? worrying.

We have heard about the Data protection act and how one club owner admits to breaking that law by using the information for a purpose it was not intended for. They check your social media pages using the information you supplied for ID! Now that is scary

If your data goes public..Your screwed!

If you give your private data and allow it to be on a database you are at risk!

There are no advantages to you, None.

Clubs may be able to use it for marketing and similar, but that is to the clubs advantage, not yours.

No I am not anti club, No I do not think that any club owner will willingly or knowingly sell or misuse your data

Yes I think that the vast majority of club owners are decent people who provide us with places to meet and mingle.

I just think that they collect unnececary data which puts you at risk.

Have fun and keep safe XX

many reasons, As I stated maybe it's for marketing and such. Maybe they are under the mistaken belief that are obliged to as the think they are running a private members club I dont honestly know why they collect your data.

You will see that in some circumstances collecting your data IS required Licenced premises and local authority rules etc.

But are they collecting to much? I wonder what the minimum is that they have to collect? More research needed..lol

Just because I'm paranoid dosn't mean they are not out to get you! Keep safe X

The biggest worry for me is not the actual act of requesting your details it’s the worry that they may be hacked, lost or not protected properly, a little like the Ashley Madison case a few years ago.

As has been said before this could have catostophic effects on some families.

One of my biggest fears is my family finding out about our lifestyle.

Thank you Staffs hotwife. That is my greatest fear as well. And the reason I am trying to just make people think before giving away sensitive information and protect themselves as best they can.

We are in London this weekend and the club we are planning to attend has asked for a full length photo of both of us.

It does state it on there website however I can't see why a full length photo is required.

Most clubs ask for photo ID like a passport or driving licence.

You have a strong oppinions on this op,I personally have one myself

In my nearest options of clubs/parties I can get to with no I'D required are private parties,curvy club and rio's

That restricts to a party held once every 8 weeks and a club in central London with no dancing etc

I never use to like showing ID when first in the scene

Now what has changed is life is for the living,I want to enjoy many different clubs and parties,to do that I show ID fill in forms,it's how it is,I'm not missing out anymore

If it comes out I'm on database for a swingers club,then I can deal with that,I'm not going to be sacked from my job or disowned by my family for enjoying going to swingers club,it's part of my life,I'm allowed to enjoy it

Having fun is not a crime I'm not going to live in fear of being found

People close to me know anyway

Some clubs like to choose the people who attend their clubs by the way they look maybe. Similarly the admittance price of some clubs may attract different people too.

I am in complete agreement with you and it's a shame we have to take a big risk just to go out and have fun. Of course anyone who gets outed will have to deal with it. It's no secret I will never give copies of my private documents and so I am the one missing out on some great sounding places.

I don't think the risk is worth it.

I go to Curvy club, It's the best club I have ever attended and it is very safe and secure. We have probably met in there so I know you are a very nice person, Every one who goes is!

As I have stated before I agree about the risks of being hacked but Ashley Madison on Sony being examples where they were after data for millions of people to make it worth the effort and risk. Do you know any licensed Swingers Club with millions of members?

A Private Members Club can be either an Unincorporated Association, or an Incorporated Association.

An Unincorporated Association is a small group of people getting together to form a club, putting in place membership rules and running the club on the basis of each person being fully involved, and liable. Its not a good choice for any club with property, or who employs staff. As members you would be viable for any debts should the club run into such.

An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability.

Most Swingers Clubs have undergone vast amounts of discussions with lawyers, councils and police to ascertain they can run as Private Members Clubs. They have invested vast amounts of money to open and run their businesses on the assurity of running a legal and above board business that won’t be shut down the next week.

Each club is “Private” ie not open to the public to walk in off the street.

Each Club has “Members” ie people who apply, and are accepted into the “Club”.

To be fully licenced for alcohol sales, every club must satisfy the following local bodies in their area. The Police, Fire and Rescue, Local Health Board, Local Council, Local Heath and Safety Agency, Local Planning Authority, Local Child Protection Organisation, Local Trading Standards, Home Office, and any other relevant licensing body operating in the area.

If everyone above is satisfied that all possible precautions are being taken to protect 4 very distinct areas. They are the prevention of Crime and Disorder, Public Safety, Prevention of Public Nuisance, and the Protection of Children from Harm.

How they satisfy the authorities mentioned above on each of these points is up to each club, and each licence will be issued based on those results. Fail to satisfy, the club won’t be approved.

Therefor it is up to the club to decide how they can match these requirements. By recording information on each member, ie name, age and address as a minimum they can assure the authorities they know who is on site, and who might be to blame should any incident occur. Adding sex into the equation makes this even more important. As pointed out, it might not stop an incident happening, but it does help considerably in catching the offender. It also acts as a considerable deterrent in the first place, anyone considering a sexual offence, might re-consider very quickly if their details are on file already!

The question now is which you’d prefer to attend. A club who has gone through all of the above hoops, and satisfied all of the associated bodies, who holds your information securely in compliance with ICO Data Protection, or, a building that allows anyone in, mixing alcohol and sex, without any checks whatsoever on age, or that knows who is involved in any incident that occurs.

Every legitimate club will openly state to you when you join, if you don’t want them to record your details in any form, please do not attend. If you wish to remain anonymous, please party elsewhere and good luck if anything happens to you.

The OP goes to Curvy Club. Curvy Club is not a club, its an event, held at a private house. No need to satisfy any of the above, unless of course they charge you to enter, in which case HMRC would be extremely interested to chat with the organisers. Don't fall down the stairs either, liability might be limited.

I don't want to come across as a pedant but you've made a classic Internet error in going to the Law Society (not law societies) website and quoting it as if it's authoritative.

As a generalization their definition of a private members club is useful but it's not congruent with the way a licensing officer or development control officer might use bit to distinguish between premises open to the public and those only open to a group or class of people.

Many private members clubs like the working mens club i drink in are both private members clubs and limited companies...

I think I get the point you are trying to make but you've proved a little google can be dangerous...

As far as I am aware, The law is the law

And that is what the law society or societies which is ever is the correct term clearly state.

I took the time to research before I posted to be sure my opinion was correct.

As you rightly say "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"

Please show the evidence that what you are posting is correct. It may be all in the wording, Maybe and I dont know yet but maybe a members club will have no basis in law so can be a limited company. maybe you could also start an enterprise called Private members club Ltd. Although I'm being a bit silly with that lol

I think it's quite clear what the definition of a private members club is.

Take care xx

So you are not talking about private members clubs but incorporated associations, Not the same thing at all.

I agree.

But most club owners are claiming to be private members clubs.

"An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability."

So it's no different from any limited company or private business.

Anyway whichever way you wish to present it, if I am right or wrong about private members clubs or not. I'm not it's proven, but anyway. It is a red herring.

You are at risk of exposure if your details are hacked, stolen or misused!

I am pointing out that if you do go think about the implications of being on a database, I know and so do you know where I stand.

Nothing to do with amounts of members. All it takes is a disgruntled person to hack in. I doubt your average swingers club has anywhere near the security as someone like Ashley Madison.

As I’ve said before I’m a member of many swingers clubs but I can see the argument on both sides.

yes and just imagine the risks, some clubs want copies of your driving licence, utility bills and even your car insurance! really, car insurance..

Not only are you at risk of exposure, you are at risk of full on identity theft,with all the horrors of your credit being ruined, you wont get a loan or a mortgage anything until it's sorted

and sorting it can be a long and expensive process.

Keep very safe out there xx

Non of our data is online - so no hack threat there.

Non of our digital data ever reaches a computer that has the ability to be online. - So no hack threat there.

Or digital data is kept on FIPS 197 certified and TAA compliant secure drive with ESET2 Anti virus. - no hack threat there.

We are properly registered with ICO - we have no interest in keeping data that you do not wish us to have - we do not charge for the removal of data.

We don't send surface post - we don't keep telephone numbers on the club phone - we don't pass telephone numbers to requests - we won't tell people who are in on a Saturday who was in on a Friday etc etc etc

Fancy your security of data going over our heads lol.

"The old thread has reached it's capacity and had to be closed, Go back and find it because it's exciting fun and informative.

The premise is that giving your photo ID and personal details to a sex orientated swingers club could result in your personal life being splashed across the web with devastating results for you and your family and work life.

Many club owners and party guests have been quite forceful in the defence of their right to collect your data and keep it in a datsbase.

they have stated that you are safer.

A little bit yes. But

really, How does it keep everyone safer?

You are in a club, someone pulls you into a room and attacks you, Did your ID protect you?

In the very least it may help to identify your attacker after the fact, and it may even keep some from doing such a thing, but not all, because it is a well known fact most attackers are known to their victims. So do you still think being on a database will protect you?

We have heard it wrongly stated how a club has to be licenced even if you bring your own alcohol and thats why they want your life history.

We have heard that they are "Private members clubs" and as such they have to collect your data. Wrong.

a private members club is just that: A club for it's members run by it's members it must have a chairman and a committee of it's members that make the rules. Do you think the clubs you go to are still "Private members clubs"?

I refer you to the law societies website.

A private members club is an unincorporated association as opposed to limited company and does not have a separate legal personality.

The rules must say something about how the club is run and how decisions are made and about who appoints the chairman and members of the committee.

So do those clubs that claim to be such clubs even know what type of business they are running? worrying.

We have heard about the Data protection act and how one club owner admits to breaking that law by using the information for a purpose it was not intended for. They check your social media pages using the information you supplied for ID! Now that is scary

If your data goes public..Your screwed!

If you give your private data and allow it to be on a database you are at risk!

There are no advantages to you, None.

Clubs may be able to use it for marketing and similar, but that is to the clubs advantage, not yours.

No I am not anti club, No I do not think that any club owner will willingly or knowingly sell or misuse your data

Yes I think that the vast majority of club owners are decent people who provide us with places to meet and mingle.

I just think that they collect unnececary data which puts you at risk.

Have fun and keep safe XX"

Simple answer don't visit clubs

"The biggest worry for me is not the actual act of requesting your details it’s the worry that they may be hacked, lost or not protected properly, a little like the Ashley Madison case a few years ago.

As has been said before this could have catostophic effects on some families.

One of my biggest fears is my family finding out about our lifestyle.

As I have stated before I agree about the risks of being hacked but Ashley Madison on Sony being examples where they were after data for millions of people to make it worth the effort and risk. Do you know any licensed Swingers Club with millions of members?

Nothing to do with amounts of members. All it takes is a disgruntled person to hack in. I doubt your average swingers club has anywhere near the security as someone like Ashley Madison.

As I’ve said before I’m a member of many swingers clubs but I can see the argument on both sides.

yes and just imagine the risks, some clubs want copies of your driving licence, utility bills and even your car insurance! really, car insurance..

Not only are you at risk of exposure, you are at risk of full on identity theft,with all the horrors of your credit being ruined, you wont get a loan or a mortgage anything until it's sorted

and sorting it can be a long and expensive process.

Keep very safe out there xx"

Please name the club that keeps copy of your car insurance. People can then ask them directly, why?

Lol. But we'd need to see ID.

I think that it would not be in any clubs interest to have data hacked stolen or whatever - but I am left with a feeling that a club perhaps cares a little less if they do not take ID - ID seldom protects you before the fact but it can have the effect of making a person who would 'behave badly' think twice about doing so because they know we have their ID recorded.

When we explain why we take ID most people will say 'well actually we are glad that you do'.

God forbid a time that anything would happen to someone in a club and the perpetrator not be traceable. I also suspect that the club would be in a lot of trouble with the authorities for not doing so.

Any establishment that has an Alcohol License has to have CCTV in every room and on the street covering entry and exit. Things aren't as anonymous as you might think they are. Also they have to have registered doormen. The Police have right of entry with appointment to any alcohol licensed premises.

While I applaud your concern - I think that you will find that clubs who take ID have though about it VERY carefully.

Did you just say that clubs that are licenced have to have CCTV in every room?

even "Play rooms"

Yes. I did say that. Bars and clubs are required to have working recording CCTV in every room that a patron is allowed to buy or consume alcohol - if that transfers correctly that that would mean the same for swingers - as there is no particular separate laws governing swingers clubs with regard to sale and consumption of alcohol.

I nearly fell of my chair when i read that. No licencing does not specify CCTV in every room, that would be illegal in play rooms, they may advise or insist on cameras around the property, but never in play areas!

A simple way to control that perhaps is to NOT allow alcohol consumption in playrooms (but even that might not get around it).

It sounds reasonable to me that if alcohol is not allowed in a certain area it should be exempt. But as you say, it will have to be tested in court to be sure.

God could you imagine? Now if clubs had cameras in playrooms that would give her something to create 2 threads over!!

Not sure where you're getting that from Cat. Alcohol Licencing Board can specify certain conditions on a premises if the need arises, such as regular fights or disturbances, so they can ask you to install CCTV at trouble points such as a door, or employ SIA door staff for example. I've never heard of a law that says you must have CCTV where drinks purchased or consumed.

I have just had a good idea, One which may satisfy everyone, Inspired by something _atevolution said.

Why not give you licence to a club when you enter, They can lock them up some where (Not copy it) and you can get it back when you leave.

That way they know who is in the club, safety would be just as effective.

What about that for a compromise?

Can we just leave this as those who chose to go to a club where ID is required and those that chose not to or prefer to go to an event that’s not insured like “Curvy Club”do so under their own free will.

"A Private Members Club can be either an Unincorporated Association, or an Incorporated Association.

An Unincorporated Association is a small group of people getting together to form a club, putting in place membership rules and running the club on the basis of each person being fully involved, and liable. Its not a good choice for any club with property, or who employs staff. As members you would be viable for any debts should the club run into such.

An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability.

Most Swingers Clubs have undergone vast amounts of discussions with lawyers, councils and police to ascertain they can run as Private Members Clubs. They have invested vast amounts of money to open and run their businesses on the assurity of running a legal and above board business that won’t be shut down the next week.

Each club is “Private” ie not open to the public to walk in off the street.

Each Club has “Members” ie people who apply, and are accepted into the “Club”.

To be fully licenced for alcohol sales, every club must satisfy the following local bodies in their area. The Police, Fire and Rescue, Local Health Board, Local Council, Local Heath and Safety Agency, Local Planning Authority, Local Child Protection Organisation, Local Trading Standards, Home Office, and any other relevant licensing body operating in the area.

If everyone above is satisfied that all possible precautions are being taken to protect 4 very distinct areas. They are the prevention of Crime and Disorder, Public Safety, Prevention of Public Nuisance, and the Protection of Children from Harm.

How they satisfy the authorities mentioned above on each of these points is up to each club, and each licence will be issued based on those results. Fail to satisfy, the club won’t be approved.

Therefor it is up to the club to decide how they can match these requirements. By recording information on each member, ie name, age and address as a minimum they can assure the authorities they know who is on site, and who might be to blame should any incident occur. Adding sex into the equation makes this even more important. As pointed out, it might not stop an incident happening, but it does help considerably in catching the offender. It also acts as a considerable deterrent in the first place, anyone considering a sexual offence, might re-consider very quickly if their details are on file already!

The question now is which you’d prefer to attend. A club who has gone through all of the above hoops, and satisfied all of the associated bodies, who holds your information securely in compliance with ICO Data Protection, or, a building that allows anyone in, mixing alcohol and sex, without any checks whatsoever on age, or that knows who is involved in any incident that occurs.

Every legitimate club will openly state to you when you join, if you don’t want them to record your details in any form, please do not attend. If you wish to remain anonymous, please party elsewhere and good luck if anything happens to you.

The OP goes to Curvy Club. Curvy Club is not a club, its an event, held at a private house. No need to satisfy any of the above, unless of course they charge you to enter, in which case HMRC would be extremely interested to chat with the organisers. Don't fall down the stairs either, liability might be limited.

De ja vue, all over again mr Kinkyman!

Did we not bring this up before?

And yes, We are all at risk on this site,

and Yes I have given them my credit card so they can put a name to a profile name.

And yes I weighed the risk.

I took the view that Fab is a professionally run business. they are a web business only. and that they have advanced enhanced security.

Yes I am at risk. I try to minimise risk based on the organisation I am dealing with. Do you think a small company like a swingers club has the resources of a large corporation who spends thousands if not more on security, and still get hacked?

Maintaining a database is not a core activity of a swingers club. Do you suppose they are as careful as a business that relies only on the web to make money?

I do go on..lol Keep safe xx

You mean as safe as online business like Sony, Microsoft, Ashley Madison, lots banks, large businesses and government organizations get hacked, Swingers Clubs are small fry and less likely to be a target.

"A Private Members Club can be either an Unincorporated Association, or an Incorporated Association.

An Unincorporated Association is a small group of people getting together to form a club, putting in place membership rules and running the club on the basis of each person being fully involved, and liable. Its not a good choice for any club with property, or who employs staff. As members you would be viable for any debts should the club run into such.

An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability.

Most Swingers Clubs have undergone vast amounts of discussions with lawyers, councils and police to ascertain they can run as Private Members Clubs. They have invested vast amounts of money to open and run their businesses on the assurity of running a legal and above board business that won’t be shut down the next week.

Each club is “Private” ie not open to the public to walk in off the street.

Each Club has “Members” ie people who apply, and are accepted into the “Club”.

To be fully licenced for alcohol sales, every club must satisfy the following local bodies in their area. The Police, Fire and Rescue, Local Health Board, Local Council, Local Heath and Safety Agency, Local Planning Authority, Local Child Protection Organisation, Local Trading Standards, Home Office, and any other relevant licensing body operating in the area.

If everyone above is satisfied that all possible precautions are being taken to protect 4 very distinct areas. They are the prevention of Crime and Disorder, Public Safety, Prevention of Public Nuisance, and the Protection of Children from Harm.

How they satisfy the authorities mentioned above on each of these points is up to each club, and each licence will be issued based on those results. Fail to satisfy, the club won’t be approved.

Therefor it is up to the club to decide how they can match these requirements. By recording information on each member, ie name, age and address as a minimum they can assure the authorities they know who is on site, and who might be to blame should any incident occur. Adding sex into the equation makes this even more important. As pointed out, it might not stop an incident happening, but it does help considerably in catching the offender. It also acts as a considerable deterrent in the first place, anyone considering a sexual offence, might re-consider very quickly if their details are on file already!

The question now is which you’d prefer to attend. A club who has gone through all of the above hoops, and satisfied all of the associated bodies, who holds your information securely in compliance with ICO Data Protection, or, a building that allows anyone in, mixing alcohol and sex, without any checks whatsoever on age, or that knows who is involved in any incident that occurs.

Every legitimate club will openly state to you when you join, if you don’t want them to record your details in any form, please do not attend. If you wish to remain anonymous, please party elsewhere and good luck if anything happens to you.

The OP goes to Curvy Club. Curvy Club is not a club, its an event, held at a private house. No need to satisfy any of the above, unless of course they charge you to enter, in which case HMRC would be extremely interested to chat with the organisers. Don't fall down the stairs either, liability might be limited.

Mr Kinkyman. You may be right, Not so juicy a target, But still a target. Especially if as staffs said they have some beef with the club.

Town house, No I have answered twice on that topic, Go back and have a look.

I am apparently a barrack room lawyer and a keyboard warrior. And I should not believe what the law society publish about Private members clubs. I am waiting for some joes with an opinion to get back to me.

However I dont care! the whole private members club thing was an answer to a specific post.

once again...It makes no difference what type of organisation holds your data, Hackers dont care I dont care. You are equally at risk.

"As far as I am aware, The law is the law

And that is what the law society or societies which is ever is the correct term clearly state.

I took the time to research before I posted to be sure my opinion was correct.

As you rightly say "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"

Please show the evidence that what you are posting is correct. It may be all in the wording, Maybe and I dont know yet but maybe a members club will have no basis in law so can be a limited company. maybe you could also start an enterprise called Private members club Ltd. Although I'm being a bit silly with that lol

I think it's quite clear what the definition of a private members club is.

Take care xxyou took time to research but in the wrong place. Blanket claims that the law is the law are the stock in trade of barrack room lawyers and keyboard warriors the world over. So is your failure to address my substantive point that the same words mean different things in different contexts.

Please show me your evidence. If you have no evidence your just another joe with an opinion. You say I looked in the wrong place, Show me the correct place and I'll have a look at it.

As I said earlier, I dont really care what type of business your running, If you have a database it makes no difference, Your database is at risk of being breached. is that not a fact?

Is it also not a fact that if you are not on a database you are at no risk if that database gets hacked in some way?

Is that not true as well?

At the end of the day, when all is said and done is that not the truth?

Keep safe out there XX"

for the purposes of licensing, which is where I came in the definition of a club is in part 4 of the licensing act 2003. I've tried being polite about this but frankly you're making a bit of a fool of yourself with black and white assertions thar you are right and everyone else must prove you wrong.

oh dear, we should really let this drop it is going round in circles now. Licensing is not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is that if you give your details to anyone for a database you are risk of that database becoming public, for lots of reasons.

I'm also sure that as Jaydees has just stated they are doing everything to try and protect your data. I do not believe nor have I stated that club owners are evil and are going to expose you.

Why would they? It would be the kiss of death for that business. But these things do happen all the time. As the good mr kinkyman and other posters have said.

Just think and try to be as safe as possible. x

"The biggest worry for me is not the actual act of requesting your details it’s the worry that they may be hacked, lost or not protected properly, a little like the Ashley Madison case a few years ago.

As has been said before this could have catostophic effects on some families.

One of my biggest fears is my family finding out about our lifestyle.

Thank you Staffs hotwife. That is my greatest fear as well. And the reason I am trying to just make people think before giving away sensitive information and protect themselves as best they can.

Yep - because that could never happen on Fab could it.

Hacker “so, shall I hack an international website with tens of thousands of users, where I got data AND compromising photos, or target the little club that’s got a few hundred users & no photos other than a drivers license or passport”

Tough choice!!

Fab is a much bigger rush for this than any club - but whatever!!

Sorry guys I have read through section 4 and it's quite a read, Anal or what!

It seems the law society is correct in their definition of a private members club. These clubs are typically golf clubs or modellers clubs things like that. and we all know about golf clubs commitee's

The only section I could find close to that is as follows:

Industrial and provident societies, friendly societies etc.

(1)Subsection (2) applies in relation to any club which is—

(a)a registered society, within the meaning of the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 (c. 12)(see section 74(1) of that Act),

(b)a registered society, within the meaning of the Friendly Societies Act 1974 (c. 46) (see section 111(1) of that Act), or

(c)a registered friendly society, within the meaning of the Friendly Societies Act 1992 (c. 40) (see section 116 of that Act).

And I dont think any of the relevant clubs fall into this.

I could go copy and paste a lot more in support but I dont think anyone is remotely interested in legal defininition of clubs, Just so as not to appear foolish while I was waiting for your reply and practicing your polite description of me as a barrack room lawyer and keyboard warrior. (Is that an insult? seems quite dashing to me lol)

Anyway! IT does not matter which kind of legal entity your data gets stolen from.

The result is the same

Keep safeX

What a delightful and interesting post this has been with several club owners and interested parties all chipping in. Can we call it a day now. I think we all know the OP has concerns about safety of information held by club's and the club's have all explained why they keep the data, and how they are very aware of how important it is to keep this information secure.

Thanks OP for making us consider if we club goers are prepared to take the risk to hand over our name and address to the clubs.

We are all adults. So can we just let people make their own decisions about which, if any club they attend.

Get your popcorn ready. I have a feeling the OP will want to keep this thread running and running.....

"The old thread has reached it's capacity and had to be closed, Go back and find it because it's exciting fun and informative.

The premise is that giving your photo ID and personal details to a sex orientated swingers club could result in your personal life being splashed across the web with devastating results for you and your family and work life.

Many club owners and party guests have been quite forceful in the defence of their right to collect your data and keep it in a datsbase.

they have stated that you are safer.

A little bit yes. But

really, How does it keep everyone safer?

You are in a club, someone pulls you into a room and attacks you, Did your ID protect you?

.

..

I just think that they collect unnececary data which puts you at risk.

Have fun and keep safe XX"

With all the politicians involved in sex scandals do you they they pass laws banning what they enjoy?

More likely crack down on illegal, unlicensed clubs that don't ask for ID and possibly don't declare income or pay tax.

I was thinking about your theory that hackers would not be interested in small clubs, It's the big boys they are after.

I think for professional criminals you are right. I also think that if they hacked a site like this, you may get lost in the sheer mass of data, I think fab has 30000 members or so.

Staffs hot wife made an interesting point that if someone had a grudge against a club it would be a way to get your own back. As you know I have far too much time on my hands at present so had a poke around the dark web using a tor browser. for the average website it is surprisingly easy to make an attack, although I have not attempted to try it so it may be all b**sh*t.

If you would like to know more, message me.

For everyones information it is illegal to hack a website with severe penalties if you get caught. So dont even think about it.

Keep safe out there xx

"I have just had a good idea, One which may satisfy everyone, Inspired by something _atevolution said.

Why not give you licence to a club when you enter, They can lock them up some where (Not copy it) and you can get it back when you leave.

That way they know who is in the club, safety would be just as effective.

What about that for a compromise?"

No one has a thought about this?

Town house, No I have answered twice on that topic, Go back and have a look.

I am apparently a barrack room lawyer and a keyboard warrior. And I should not believe what the law society publish about Private members clubs. I am waiting for some joes with an opinion to get back to me.

However I dont care! the whole private members club thing was an answer to a specific post.

once again...It makes no difference what type of organisation holds your data, Hackers dont care I dont care. You are equally at risk.

You are not equally at risk, time and effort for little reward hacking a Swingers Club or time hacking elsewhere with potentially a jackpot of rewards. Where would you go?

It would depend on my motivation, If I was looking for big $$$ I might go for the big guys,If I was that famous fat guy in his mothers back bedroom a swingers site with easier security than the big guys might be a very juicy target."

Juicy target for what? Better pictures and videos on porn sites even freely available without having to hack. Plenty of information on Facebook if you are interested and have time with hacking. Much easier and juicer targets.

On here there is more to worry about like journalists creating accounts for stories and not needing to hack anything!

"Us at Jaydees are ICO registered, all ID is protected. Supply us with your ID you can come along ........ no ID dont bother, just go somewhere else, simple.

How long do you keep ID details for? How is it protected and stored?

- Same question to all the other clubs that have posted.

Why don't you contact the club you plan to go to and ask them directly? Instead of asking the ones who have replied here . If you read through both threads, several club's have already talked about this "

"The old thread has reached it's capacity and had to be closed, Go back and find it because it's exciting fun and informative.

The premise is that giving your photo ID and personal details to a sex orientated swingers club could result in your personal life being splashed across the web with devastating results for you and your family and work life.

Many club owners and party guests have been quite forceful in the defence of their right to collect your data and keep it in a datsbase.

they have stated that you are safer.

A little bit yes. But

really, How does it keep everyone safer?

You are in a club, someone pulls you into a room and attacks you, Did your ID protect you?

In the very least it may help to identify your attacker after the fact, and it may even keep some from doing such a thing, but not all, because it is a well known fact most attackers are known to their victims. So do you still think being on a database will protect you?

We have heard it wrongly stated how a club has to be licenced even if you bring your own alcohol and thats why they want your life history.

We have heard that they are "Private members clubs" and as such they have to collect your data. Wrong.

a private members club is just that: A club for it's members run by it's members it must have a chairman and a committee of it's members that make the rules. Do you think the clubs you go to are still "Private members clubs"?

I refer you to the law societies website.

A private members club is an unincorporated association as opposed to limited company and does not have a separate legal personality.

The rules must say something about how the club is run and how decisions are made and about who appoints the chairman and members of the committee.

So do those clubs that claim to be such clubs even know what type of business they are running? worrying.

We have heard about the Data protection act and how one club owner admits to breaking that law by using the information for a purpose it was not intended for. They check your social media pages using the information you supplied for ID! Now that is scary

If your data goes public..Your screwed!

If you give your private data and allow it to be on a database you are at risk!

There are no advantages to you, None.

Clubs may be able to use it for marketing and similar, but that is to the clubs advantage, not yours.

No I am not anti club, No I do not think that any club owner will willingly or knowingly sell or misuse your data

Yes I think that the vast majority of club owners are decent people who provide us with places to meet and mingle.

I just think that they collect unnececary data which puts you at risk.

Have fun and keep safe XX"

Anyone concerned, don't go to a club. Simples. Just meet others in a hotel or at your own house.

We've been to Infusion and our identities haven't been stolen, we haven't been attacked etc.. Doesn't bother us.

"I have just had a good idea, One which may satisfy everyone, Inspired by something _atevolution said.

Why not give you licence to a club when you enter, They can lock them up some where (Not copy it) and you can get it back when you leave.

That way they know who is in the club, safety would be just as effective.

What about that for a compromise?"

that may help identify who is currently in the club but not who was in there 5 minutes previous when a problem occurred.

That doesn't help the Club stay within the law and local councils with the need to keep membership records?

Also, people going out in the little black dress or skimpy outfit, and their special club handbag, won't always remember to transfer their driving licence into the bag each visit.

How about the people getting home and realising they forgot to pick up their licence.

Filling in a membership form once and knowing it is kept securely is much easier for most people.

But it is much more dangerous for them to be on a database which could expose them to humiliation for them and their families.

And you are saying that the registration system system does not work in the properly ID clubs you visit?

Are you saying that you dont have to sign in and out because that is the only way it could be forgotten.

And if you dont have to sign in and out how do they know who is in the club and would this not blow out of the water everything you have been saying?

No Thanks. Anyone who gives all their private information and copies of personal documents to a small club with minimal security are asking for trouble and it's not a matter of "IF" it's "WHEN" Even mr kinkyman keeps posting that even the big boys with armies of IT consultants get hacked, Ashley Maddison,

Adult Friend Finder etc. And you will be a lot worse off, They have actual copies of your driving licence, utility bills and maybe even your car insurance policy. You wont have to worry about a bit of shame with your family, work or community when you get exposed, That will be the least of your worries, horrifying enough, but full on identity theft. They will have data on you to open a credit card, take out a loan, HP agreement and god knows what else. And the onus will be on those silly enough to have given away private and confidential information to a small as we say in the US " Ma and Pa" business with minimal security. I did not really want to say this but I have seen clubs posting "We have the best anti virus"

well so what! Anti virus is good for virus's but useless against a hack attack. That is not it's intended purpose, Even a firewall which is more a defence, will not save you. As Ashley Maddison et. Al. can testify.

I was simply commenting on your idea of clubs wanting to keep your driving licence locked up when you visit and giving it back when you leave.

"Sorry guys I have read through section 4 and it's quite a read, Anal or what!

It seems the law society is correct in their definition of a private members club. These clubs are typically golf clubs or modellers clubs things like that. and we all know about golf clubs commitee's

The only section I could find close to that is as follows:

Industrial and provident societies, friendly societies etc.

(1)Subsection (2) applies in relation to any club which is—

(a)a registered society, within the meaning of the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 (c. 12)(see section 74(1) of that Act),

(b)a registered society, within the meaning of the Friendly Societies Act 1974 (c. 46) (see section 111(1) of that Act), or

(c)a registered friendly society, within the meaning of the Friendly Societies Act 1992 (c. 40) (see section 116 of that Act).

And I dont think any of the relevant clubs fall into this.

I could go copy and paste a lot more in support but I dont think anyone is remotely interested in legal defininition of clubs, Just so as not to appear foolish while I was waiting for your reply and practicing your polite description of me as a barrack room lawyer and keyboard warrior. (Is that an insult? seems quite dashing to me lol)

Anyway! IT does not matter which kind of legal entity your data gets stolen from.

The result is the same

Keep safeX"

you proved you know nothing about the law by quoting a non-authoritative source, whose name you couldn't even get right. Sources of law is a really fun topic for first year undergrads or as a module in lesser qualifications.

I have no issue with you coming on here spouting paranoid bollocks about hacking but the pretentious way you've dressed it up with pseudo legal language and bad quotes from websites you've Googled is a waste of bandwidth.

At most Clubs you only need 1 or 2 forms of ID confirmation name and address, not every last piece of information about you. Why credit cards? They have no address or photo so not much use to prove who you are?

Why target a small "Ma and Pa" business? Not worth the time and effort.

Well well we do have a bee in our bonnet dont we lol. As soon as resort to personal attacks you have already lost.

I read through the legislation and it does not mention Private members clubs.

It is concerned with clubs, all clubs, The very definition of a private members club is that it run by it's members for it's members, it has an elected chairman and elected commitee who makes the rules. Such as a golf club.

I'm sorry my spelling of society was not to your high exacting standards. I do tend type very fast and sometimes these things happen.

you wrote:

I have no issue with you coming on here spouting paranoid bollocks about hacking

Is it paranoid? really, how many websites have you heard about being hacked? Is it very common? I think you will find as already been posted by others that it happens.

Now lets revisit Private members clubs.

That was a counter argument against a poster in a very old thread.

I will say this once again.

IT DOES NOT MATTER ONE BIT!

If your hacked and your details go public, DOES IT MATTER what type of business it was leaked from?

You have been abusive and rude.

you have called me all sorts of names

in your defence of what, a definition of a club status, who cares anyway, I have

stated so many times it does not matter what type of business releases your information.

you scream that I am wrong.

The law society is wrong

yet when when I ask you point out just where I am wrong you send me a link to the Licencing Act. OK I bit, I read the very long and boring Act. I posted the only bit I could find that MAY concern private members clubs. (friendly societies etc.) Ok now I actually posted on here what the law society has to say about private members clubs. You post the actual bit that states an incorporated or private business is a Private members club. yes this type of business can be a club. but not a private members club.

I am wasting bandwidth on you.

I will wait for your reply on where it states anything about the constitution of private members clubs in the Act.

Have a nice day XX

Definition of a private members club from the legal department of the RYA.

www.rya.org.uk

Many sports clubs are unincorporated associations, known usually as private members clubs.

Such clubs will commonly adopt a Constitution and Rules which bind the members

together and govern their operation. The members usually appoint a management

co

mmittee and flag officers to take on the day to day running and administration of the club.

I suppose not only is the law society wrong but the Royal Yachting Society legal department is wrong as well.

Maybe you should contact these qualified legal people and point out the errors they are making as well.

Keep safe! XX

We at New Paradise ask for photo id purely for age verification as we are an over 25's club. We do not photocopy your driving licenses or passports, nor do we hold any digital data on members. We simply hold a name and address as a hardcopy. This is for any accident /crime prevention issues that may arise.

We need to be able to inform any relevant authority ie police, ambulance of your name and address in the event, God forbid, of any emergency.

Being whisked off as John Doe or Jane Doe doesn't help the medical services access your records should you require emergency treatment.

Rather than assume we just want your details to be awkward, please look at the bigger picture and the real sense it makes to know your name and address.

I can Google too and have just been reading the Government guide on the Equality Act in relation to private clubs and other associations. It's the Other Associations bit that is relevant. An other association is one with 25 + members which has rules that don't have to be formal or written and there must be a genuine selection process.

That sounds like the clubs we've been to. So to be able to tailor prices to encourage women they need to have members and not just be open to anyone who walks in off the street.

Therefore no, they may not strictly be private members clubs but are presumably operating as Other Associations and need to do certain things in terms of recording members to avoid merely being service providers and unable to adjust pricing and access.

I can see why people have concerns about handing over ID but to us is less of a concern than being on here. I would be interested to know more about how individual clubs record and store the data they collect. Is ID scanned and stored or info just taken down and held somehow?

yes I have seen that. It seems that each Gov department has a different set of rules regarding clubs. and yes you are right they are not private members clubs but may come under the friendly societies part of the act which I have already put forward, provided they comply with other relevant sections of the act. which in my humble opinion they do not.

You keep ignoring this bit which blows your argument about what a "Private Members Club" is out of the water...

"A Private Members Club can be either an Unincorporated Association, or an Incorporated Association.

An Unincorporated Association is a small group of people getting together to form a club, putting in place membership rules and running the club on the basis of each person being fully involved, and liable. Its not a good choice for any club with property, or who employs staff. As members you would be viable for any debts should the club run into such.

An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability."

We keep the details for the full term of the membership. (12 months). This is so we can locate details of members who have lost or misplaced their membership cards and to prevent misuse of membership cards.

We do not send any letters out to your address, marketing or otherwise. As mentioned, it is solely for the event of any emergency situation.

"So you are not talking about private members clubs but incorporated associations, Not the same thing at all.

I agree.

But most club owners are claiming to be private members clubs.

"An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability."

So it's no different from any limited company or private business.

Anyway whichever way you wish to present it, if I am right or wrong about private members clubs or not. I'm not it's proven, but anyway. It is a red herring.

You are at risk of exposure if your details are hacked, stolen or misused!

true?

Have fun and stay safe XX

Good god this is sooooo boring. Do you worry this much about everything?"

I agree!

OP you made your point on the original thread ... repeatedly... so if your point is to make people more aware then you have already done that and now you are just repeating yourself over and over and it comes across as you being bitter that everyone doesn't share your opinion

You make your decision not to go andshare your ID and respect others that have decided that they will

Here is some interesting facts from the licencing Act.

From this you can make up your mind about the "club"

you attend. Although as I have stated many times it

really does not matter.

Section 61

61 Qualifying clubs

(1)This section applies for determining for

the purposes of this Part whether a club is a

qualifying club in relation to a qualifying club activity.

(2)A club is a qualifying club in relation to the supply of alcohol to members

or guests if it satisfies both—

(a)the general conditions in section 62, and

(b)the additional conditions in section 64.

(3)A club is a qualifying club in relation to the provision of regulated

entertainment if it satisfies the general conditions in section 62.

So this is part of the general conditions of being a club. Private members

club or not, it does not matter.

Now on to section 62

2)Condition 1 is that under the rules of the club persons may not—

(a)be admitted to membership, or

(b)be admitted, as candidates for membership, to any of the

privileges of membership,

without an interval of at least two days between their nomination

or application for membership and their admission.

Para 2) is inserted here just for a bit of fun.

You must wait 2 days between applying

and entering the club.

section 63

63 Determining whether a club is established and conducted in good faith

(1)In determining for the purposes of condition 3 in subsection (4) of section 62

whether a club is established and conducted in good faith as a club, the matters

to be taken into account are those specified in subsection (2).

(2)Those matters are—

(a)any arrangements restricting the club’s freedom of purchase of alcohol;

(b)any provision in the rules, or arrangements, under which—

(i)money or property of the club, or

(ii)any gain arising from the carrying on of the club,

is or may be applied otherwise than for the benefit of the club as a whole

or for charitable, benevolent or political purposes;

(c)the arrangements for giving members information about the finances of the club;

(d)the books of account and other records kept to ensure the accuracy of that information;

(e)the nature of the premises occupied by the club.

So it is (c) which is interesting, does your club give you information on the club

finances?

And (d) Do they present with accounts? and take a quick look at (ii)

Section 64

64 The additional conditions for the supply of alcohol

(1)The additional conditions which a club must satisfy if it is to be a qualifying

club in relation to the supply of alcohol to members or guests are the following.

(2)Additional condition 1 is that (so far as not managed by the club in general meeting

or otherwise by the general body of members) the purchase of alcohol for the club, and

the supply of alcohol by the club, are managed by a committee whose members—

(a)are members of the club;

(b)have attained the age of 18 years; and

(c)are elected by the members of the club.

Take a look at (c) are you elected to your club by existing members?

So now we see that under the Act (2) Supply of Alcohol must be managed

by a commitee whose members are (c) elected members of the club.

So are you actually members of a club under the Act, or "members" of a private

business? i think I have proved my point but still waiting for the abusive

poster to point me where in the Act it states that a private members club

does not have to have a chairman and committee of members who make the rules.

I guess if he still wants to go on insulting me I could contact the local

authority that each club is in and ask them what sort of business they are.

That should settle it. Although it makes no difference for the purposes

of this thread.!

"So you are not talking about private members clubs but incorporated associations, Not the same thing at all.

I agree.

But most club owners are claiming to be private members clubs.

"An Incorporated Association is a Limited Company, run by someone out to make a profit. A company is started up, and abides by the rules of Companies House, HMRC, and the law of the land. The Directors are liable for any debts and members have no liability."

So it's no different from any limited company or private business.

Anyway whichever way you wish to present it, if I am right or wrong about private members clubs or not. I'm not it's proven, but anyway. It is a red herring.

You are at risk of exposure if your details are hacked, stolen or misused!

true?

Have fun and stay safe XX

Good god this is sooooo boring. Do you worry this much about everything?

I agree!

OP you made your point on the original thread ... repeatedly... so if your point is to make people more aware then you have already done that and now you are just repeating yourself over and over and it comes across as you being bitter that everyone doesn't share your opinion

You make your decision not to go andshare your ID and respect others that have decided that they will

There was no reason to carry it on to another thread "

There's an awful lot of legal stuff being thrown around here but what you're not considering is that each local council also has their own list of requirements before they will give you a licence to open a swingers club. So not only do we have the tangled web of the legal system to negotiate but also local legislation which differs from council to council.

It may be that some councils are relaxed on their requirements but I remember sitting across from our licencing council officers and the first thing they said was 'right, are you ready for some big fiery hoops to jump through because this is going to be a challenge!' Then they gave us a list of requirements, one of the things on there was ID criteria and everything on that list was to set us aside from being seen as a brothel.

So you can spout legal shit all day long but it's the local councils who issue our licences and they can ask for additional criteria that is not a national legal requirement but a local piece of legislation.

I'm not interested in all this quasi legal Bullsh*t, it's all a load of cr#p.

I foolishly got dragged into it by buying in to some idiots challenge, and that challenge was thrown into my face by poster after poster so now it is answered.

full stop!

So as I keep saying if your private details are scattered all over the net because you entrusted your information to a club, which probably will not have the best security in the world. your in big trouble.

And I'm sorry but a tin foil hat wont prevent the public humiliation for you and your family that will surely follow.

We signed up to a club just yesterday and Ads gave id, didn’t even think about any kind of hacking but then if anyone found out what we do as a hobby we wouldn’t really care, I know it doesn’t work like that for everyone.

It’s like with everything now. Now everything is pretty much digital you have to be careful with who you give your information over to but I’m 99% sure some little club in the back of beyond isnt going to be hacked (thinking about it I didn’t even see a computer) and I am certainly not going to lose any sleep, id be more worried about the banks etc that hackers would be far more interested in but again I put my trust in the system that my details are safe. Like lots of people have said if anyone has any issues with it then simply don’t go.

Thanks for taking the time to post though. Food for thought and all that.

So, my details are held on an isolated hard drive, on a stand alone PC with no internet connection & out of reach of a hacker. It’s also password protected (Vic, jump in if I’m incorrect here!)

But let’s just assume for a moment that someone breaks into the club, steals the hard drive, cracks the password & releases my details, confirming nothing more than I’m registered as a member of the club.

So the conversation with my friends / family / boss etc goes something like

“so, I see you’re registered as a member of a Swingers club”

“Yes, I went a while back with a friend & joined to see what the fuss was about. It wasn’t really my thing though to be honest. I’d forgotten all about it”

“Oh right, ok”

At what point should I crawl away to die of embarrassment?

Alternative question

Fab’s servers are hacked, all data, images, text, veri’d etc are downloaded & released online.

My friends / family / boss can see my photos; Public, friend only & private - including the face pic photo verified shot confirming site name & profile name. They can read what I’ve written in my bio. They can read every veri detailing the intimate highlights of my meets. There’s no brushing it off as something you did once & forgot about.

The conversation goes something like

“answer your phone, this is the 58th voicemail I’ve left this week. You can’t hide forever”

But I can’t actually answer because I’ve crawled away to die of embarrassment. Not because I swing, but because everyone is aware of the tiniest details of my sex life. But even then, in a couple of weeks it’ll blow over & it’ll become tomorrow’s chip paper.

The details that are on Fab are a vastly more sensitive, delicate & potentially embarrassing than my name & address being listed on a database which actually tells no back story & has no context.

very nice post Morticia, If your swingers club was hacked and that was all they had, A name and address the damage might not be severe, I still think people would whisper behind your back, and if you have children teased at school, Little monsters lol.

Now if you had given them a copy of your drivers licence, utility bills, and even as one club asked for your car insurance documents, you are in big trouble.

You are in for full scale identity theft as well as the humiliation. And identity theft is not pleasant.

I have never mentioned the scary outcome of fab getting hacked, because this thread is about swingers clubs, However I agree with you 100% If Fab gets hacked we are all screwed including me.

Lets hope that this thread will be noticed by Fab and they will do a security audit to make as sure as possible our details are safe!

yes it would be yesterdays news fast, if you dont know anyone concerned, But I think these things stick to you like glue in your community,

Take care and stay safe XX

one other thing Morticia, Your club if they dont want copies of your documents is better than most.

One club wants you to scan your documents email it to them in advance, They state this on the website.

would you agree this would be a silly thing to do?

Do you think that this is intrusive and asking for so much information is not required?

I would say that only the basic minimum is required your name and address.

they can verify your identity by just looking at your ID. They dont need a copy surely.

Keep thinking about your safety XX

The way we work....

You bring ID, we don't take copies. You fill in a membership form and I cross check the details against ID and the ID is given back and a membership card is given with a number on it. Only I handle personal info after this time. The details are entered onto a blank database which doesn't reference Townhouse, swingers, private members...nadda. It's just a blank database of names for all intents and purposes. The database is not kept onsite. It is on a portable hard drive which is always kept at my home and is locked away when it's not in use. If someone walks into the club without their membership card, I can't access the database onsite to check if they are members so they don't get in OR they can come in as guests by showing ID (not copied) but this is not regularly allowed. Any membership forms, once entered into my database at home, are shredded and the burnt in my metal bin outside.

So for someone to get to the info we hold, they would have to find out where I live, break into my house, find where my locked safe is, figure out the combination, have a device to load up the database and work out 2 numeric passwords to get into it. Then all they have is a database of names and no proof of why they are held on a database as it doesn't reference swinging on it.

This satisfies my local authority and the 20000 members who have joined Townhouse thus far.

Back in the 80’s, a local tennis club were outed in one of the Sunday tabloids for having ‘keys in the bowl’ parties. I was at school with the kids of one of the couples involved. Everyone knew (it was the worst kept secret anyway, typical small village!!) and apart from a few days of giggling & jokes being cracked in the local pub, no one really cared ... some were even quite envious & there was a spike in people suddenly wanting to play tennis!

I think you’re overestimating the shock factor & the gossip frenzy. I personally don’t think anyone would care for more than 2 minutes. And maybe that is part of the cultural difference. Europe is generally more tolerant of sex than the US, even down to the topless sunbathing & the likes of the Carry On films & similar sitcoms of the 60’s & 70’s!

I’m just wondering is it just anything to do with swinging you are worried about personal information or anything in general? For instance when you get a dbs check you have to hand over so much more personal information, passport, utility bills, addresses for the past 5 years etc all this is stored online now, this is also vurable information that could do a whole lot more damage to your life than (for some) finding out you are a swinger. Would handing over this information stop you from wanting to work in the establishment or volunteering if you had to have a dbs and hand these details over, which in the wrong hands could financially ruin you etc. It’s not just dbs (old crb checks) some employment agency’s etc want full ids too.

It is mainly about being outed as a swinger, I would hate for my children,work and friends to find out

about my private life. does that not worry you. And also this is a swingers site and the sub is about swingers clubs so I would look silly If I came on here and did not specify swingers clubs, which is the only way I could be outed as a swinger.

Of course I am very careful in all that I do, what I put out and the reason for it. also the type of organisation, is it a big professional concern or just a smallish outfit, in spite of the Ashley Maddison thing, I feel safer with the big boys. also do they need the information? I have refused many times to hand it over and still got what I wanted.

It doesn’t bother us if we got ‘outed’ at all, my kids would get over it, my friends know exactly what we do so that wouldn’t be a shock and my family? They already look down there nose at me anyway so one more thing wouldn’t make the sightest difference lol, Ads family really wouldn’t care anyway, his mum might look down on him but she would also say ‘it’s your life’.

It’s our life and most people we’ve spoken to actually find it intriguing, it’s not something we shy away from, if people ask now we would and are open with them. Sure my work colleagues would be absolutely shocked but it’s just a talking point and one that would die down eventually.geeky x

Life is about risk, if you don't like the risk then don't take it.

I'm not aware of how clubs run in the USA however I think the level of risk has been overhyped for UK clubs that I have attended.

Do they ask for ID? Yes.

But it has only been a physical check to then record our name and address on a paper record. No copies have ever been taken.

Paper copies are incredibly difficult to hack. Criminals who want ID are not the same criminals who tend to do breaking and entering. They are after very different things.

If a hacker wanted to expose swingers, they would have a much easier time trawling any swinging or porn sites and back tracking from there.

The risks of someone breaking into a building, cracking any safe or lockable containers, then running off with a list of names and addresses are very low. As such I'm willing to take those risks.

Ahh the oldies are the best although to be fair you have updated it a bit!

What makes you think I am ashamed?

No I do not want my family friends and work finding out. Ashamed NO.

i'm glad that you dont mind being exposed, The point of this thread is that some people really dont want that to happen, and measures they can take to avoid that scenario.

We all get so used to giving over our data that we do it without proper thought.

And I would hope you agree that mostly it is not required for you to hand over a copy of your drivers licence, utility bills, and as one club wants, you car insurance documents.

It's intrusive.

Townhouse has said, all they want is your name and address, no copies.

Is that not enough as they verify it by visually checking your ID.

they dont need a copy of anything.

The irony of err did we not just cover this on a 2nd thread about the same topic.

You don't need to read and respond to everything.

I was quite clear the risks of identity theft from a swinging club is far lower than from other walks of life. If you choose to frequent swinger clubs that hold your data in a more easily accessible format that is your choice.

So I start a forum topic, I dont need to read it or comment on it.

Do you have evidence that you are less at risk on a swingers club database?

Or is that your opinion?

There is nothing wrong with an opinion I have lots, But if I post my opinion without evidence I am attacked and challenged on it.

I would say, "Oh the irony" but I wont as that may be construed as being rude.

OP - So far you have at least 4 ways that could out you as a swinger before you have even been to a club or private party:

Your mobile phone

Your computer

Your ISP

Your payment method of choice

All of which can be hacked or tracked and all will have had their data compromised at some point with or without your knowledge.

Then if you do go to even a no ID private party

Potentially your car/SatNav

Other people at the party

Other people who know that a 'sex party' is occurring.

Club owners have lot more than you do to lose if they are lax in their data management. You are more likely to out yourself with one of the above than a club is 'leak' your data.

Actually all of this has been covered

many times, But it is a long meandering thread and you need a lot of time to go through it all.

Like a lot of posters if you keep reading it you will lose the will to live.

The post is actually about if you are on a database of a swingers club you stand the risk of it being hacked or misused in some way.

Yes your sat nav and phone could put you in the vicinity of a swingers club. so what!

yes your home pc could be hacked, and all the other reasons you state.

I do not disagree with you entirely.

Did you read about the amount of data about you they require? Photocopies of licence, utility bills and in one extreme case, car insurance documents.

I'm sorry, regular readers and posters

will be fed up with this all going round again, but I will read and answer posts.

Do you think this over the top?

Do you think they could collect a lot less and still know enough for their stated reasons for it?

And finally, the whole point of this thread,

If you are on a swingers club database you risk that data being misused and that could put you at risk of exposure?

yes your home pc could be hacked, and all the other reasons you state.

I do not disagree with you entirely.

Did you read about the amount of data about you they require? Photocopies of licence, utility bills and in one extreme case, car insurance documents.

I'm sorry, regular readers and posters

will be fed up with this all going round again, but I will read and answer posts.

Do you think this over the top?

Do you think they could collect a lot less and still know enough for their stated reasons for it?

And finally, the whole point of this thread,

If you are on a swingers club database you risk that data being misused and that could put you at risk of exposure?

Keep safe out there XX"

All the clubs that have posted have confirmed that they don’t actually collect this data.

So I’m actually wondering what clubs in particular you’re referring to - or is this an assumption.

You’ve flagged your opinion on this.

The majority of people are aware of the dangers of sharing personal data in all walks of their life & are largely able to make up their own minds. After all, it’s something we do every day in some way (you’ve mentioned identity theft a lot)

The clubs that took the time to reply to you don’t fall into this category.

The clubs you believe do so clearly haven’t responded & people attending such clubs can & will make up their own minds.

I was cautiously optimistic that, after 14 hours, this thread had finally wrapped up as there is nothing new being said.

If we all promise to be careful, can we drop it & move onto something else instead?

I think the point a lot of us are trying to say is that no one is forced to go to any establishment that requires this level of documentation, I would think most savvy people would look up online before they go or call the club first (as I don’t make a habit of carrying those things with me normally) to see what they need to bring, if they are told they need to provide say a utility bill then it is there choice, they are putting faith in the club not being hacked (which I would thought isn’t on the most hacked list in the world, not when there are other places that could be hacked for personal details etc), and again it is down to the individual to make an informed choice, if they don’t want to hand over those things then they will find a club that doesn’t need that kind of identification.

This ‘hobby’ of ours pose risks from being exposed to I hate to say it, catch something that nobody wants but it’s how you handle it to stop it being a greater risk.

I think everyone has had their eyes opened with this thread and some may not have thought about it but I really don’t think a swingers club is a major target for identity thief.

If you are any database you are at risk of hacking. It is a question of how likely it is to happen balanced against the result of it happening.

If you are not happy to hand over the information don't, stay away from Clubs that ask for the information. But let those who are happy to do so carry on. You worry about your life and let others worry about theirs.

Good post, Geeky.

We are one of those couples who have an issue with ID but fully understand it's a necessity to keeping people safe with traceable records. We could go to clubs but have decided we're unlikely to ever go for the miniscule, unlikely event our ID was put out there regardleds of how it came about and yes, we'd 100% lose our jobs and never work in that field again, common sense tells us not to go to clubs.

We do attend private parties, the larger social events and hotel meets without ID and we're getting a good swinging experience even if we are a little envious of you guys having all the fun a club has to offer. Like you say we have an informed choice and it really rests with the individuals whether they attend clubs and all that goes with it.

yes it has been stated many times I am not being forced to attend any club and if I dont like it dont go. I dont! lol

Actually some clubs have stated that they want this information. I am not allowed to name and shame, so have a look at club websites, I assure you I am not making this up.

I'm also glad that it may have opened some peoples eyes to the risks and as you correctly state they can decide for themselves if that risk is acceptable to them.

I'm not sure that just because it has not happened yet, It wont happen.

In fact I'm a little worried that this very thread may put the idea into some losers head.

I have changed my position from the start of this thread, I have listened and agree that some clubs do have to ID you for legal reasons. Some clubs have posted their procedures and seem to only take the minimum required to satisfy their local authority rules, and I believe when they say they keep that minimum of information as safe as they

can.

Now I say avoid the clubs who demand intrusive and unnecessary information about you.

In my humble opinion, It is not worth the risk when you can go to NO ID or

LESS ID clubs.

Just because I'm paranoid does not mean they are not out to get YOU !

Have a nice day XX

Silly Sunday Post!

I just read about a gang raid on a swingers club in Birmingham.

Suppose they nicked the members list with all you details...

A masked gang of three raided a swingers club - attacking a man and a woman and sending semi-naked customers fleeing into the street.

One man, aged 53, was punched to the ground, while a woman was pushed, the Birmingham Mail reports.

Witnesses reported seeing half-naked members of the club fleeing into the street.

Who would have thought that could happen? Of course they should have demanded all the robbers personal details, That would have stopped them!

OP - you keep stating you can’t ‘name and shame’ but why not? You wouldn’t be breaking forum rules by stating which club is asking for a copy of your motor insurance, you are not defaming them, embarrassing them or in anyway putting them down, you would simply stating a fact.

Also you state you read story about a gang raiding. Swingers club, would this be 3 years ago in a club that is no longer operating. Try adding context to your anecdotes, it may help make them relevant.

What is amusing is that you have a concern over identity theft, yet when you open a bank account, you willingly hand over your passport to be photocopied. You hand over proof of address also.

Now, it is highly illegal to photocopy or reproduce passport details in any way or by anyone! Yet you do it freely and assume that all bank tellers are moral law arising citizens. The very fact they photocopy your passport makes them guilty of committing an offence against the Crown!

Your smartphone can be scanned and cloned within 30 seconds, your contact less credit card skimmed instantly.. And you moan about a club collecting data.

If someone wants your identity, your bank details bad enough, so you really think hacking into swingers clubs mainframes would be their first port of call?

Except she isn’t, because she states that she never goes to clubs that want ID

She’s concerned about a hypothetical situation that could affect people she doesn’t even know that go to clubs she can’t name.

There are so many ifs, buts & maybes in this story that it’s making me dizzy!!!

No-one would be 'outed' for using a bank.

You are not doing Curvy Club any favours, they probably won’t want you back ( no ID... HMRC ) advertising what were probably, there discrete house parties, and donations .

We hadn’t heard of them until now, now everyone on here has.

It won’t be long before the authorities are on to them, and they will be looking for ID etc like clubs have to

I am amazed that some posters are absolutely furious with me for pointing out that if you share your private and personal information with a club you are at risk of being "outed".

Could it be that they now realise what they have done and are trying to justify putting not only their private activities at risk of exposure but also the very real fact they are open to identity theft by sharing private documents?

I can assure you I could name the club, but I am not going to be goaded into breaking the rules of this forum with a name and shame. Perhaps some other poster will, or maybe the club in question will post to justify their position.

So you think a bank could be hacked with an army of professional IT staff but not a small club? And as one poster has stated it will not expose you as a swinger!

No I'm not at risk, No club has copies of my private documents. are you saying I should do an "I'm alright Jack"?

and not warn others of the risks involved?

We have heard of Ashley Maddison, And Adult friend finder, They got hacked and personal details of peoples private life exposed. some posters say that a private club is to small and why bother hacking it? I'll tell you why, It's a lot easier than the big boys, and they dont all do it for money, they do it because they can.

CRACKPOT! Not sure if that was a reference to me, I have been called a lot of names and taken personal abuse,

but at the end of the day, If you have photocopied your licence, utility bills and maybe your car insurance documents and handed them over to a club, Who is the crackpot...lol

Dont get furious with me. You have the right under the data protection act to have your information deleted. I would seriously consider that course of action.

Keep safe out there XX
