§ 89918 Auxiliary Organization Record Waiver

Key Takeaways

  • •If a group (like a school club or charity) shares a secret record they usually keep private, they can’t say it’s secret anymore.
  • •This rule applies to anyone working or helping the group, like volunteers or leaders.
  • •The rule doesn’t apply if the group shares secrets with donors, volunteers, or when the law says they have to share it (like in court).

Example

A school’s parent-teacher group keeps donor lists private but accidentally posts them online.

Once the list is posted, the group can’t say it’s secret anymore because they already shared it.
