We recognise our obligations and your legal rights set out in the GDPR. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy by complying with the principles of the GDPR.

Amendments to our Privacy Policy

If we amend our privacy policy, any changes will be published on our website. If necessary, this will be brought to your attention.

What is personal data?

‘Personal data’ means any information relating to a living individual (‘data subject’) who can be identified, directly or indirectly by the information.

The types of personal data we MAY collect:

• Full name
• Contact information (home address, email address, telephone numbers)
• Date of birth and/or age;
• Special categories of data such as medical history or race or ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation;

How we use your personal information

We collect, store and process personal data for several purposes, mainly: our membership, programme and course administration; pathway, event and competition management; financial accounting; and marketing. We will not use any of the information that we collect from you, or about you, for any purpose other than those listed in this document or for purposes that are similar. If we would like to use your personal data in any other way, we will present you with relevant information at the point at which one of these additional purposes arises.

The GDPR provides that legally we might hold and process your information for any of the following four reasons and we have included below a summary of what that means for Poynton Netball Club and how we might use information you provide to us:

• To administer and manage our relationship with affiliated members. For example, when given personal information either directly or via a Club Secretary during the affiliation process;
• To send affiliated members information which is included within their membership benefits package;
• To administer our relationship with people attending our programmes and to send them information about the programme;
• To administer attendance on any programmes, competitions, events or training courses and to enable online assessment (where applicable);
• To fulfil our contractual relationship with clients, sponsors and suppliers.
• Where required to comply with our LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. For example:
• To comply with health and safety requirements. For example, to ensure the safe running of netball sessions and to enable adaptations as required;
• To comply with safeguarding requirements. For example, working with children or vulnerable adults;
• To ensure we are offering equitable access to our services to avoid discrimination; and
• For the prevention of fraud and other criminal activities.

Where there is a LEGITIMATE INTEREST.

• To correspond and to answer queries and complaints;
• To create a better understanding of players, supporters, customers or visitors. We may process the personal data of those that engage with Poynton Netball Club for the purposes of research. This is to ensure that we are offering the best service that we can, to understand trends and enable us to improve delivery of the sport. We use the information to create aggregated summary statistics only.  From time to time, we may contact those groups listed above to take part in additional research to support the development and improvement of the sport. However, there is no obligation to take part in the research. Poynton Netball Club employees, or an external processor on our behalf, may carry out this research. For young people age under 16 we will seek parental or guardian consent;
• To arrange for any trips or transportation of officials, or volunteers to events;
• To ensure understanding of the coaching and officiating workforce available;
• To conduct performance reviews, manage performance and determine performance requirements of our officials and coaches and to make decisions about progression and accreditation status; and
• To comply with awarding bodies’ accreditation obligations; and
• To administer and monitor attendance at events and competitions.

Where you have provided CONSENT.
For example:

We may use and process your personal information where you have consented for us to do so for the following purposes:

• Promoting the sport, our events, opportunities, services and membership packages;
• Promoting our sponsors or partners’ events or services; and
• Sending newsletters.

Retaining your information

If we collect your personal information, the length of time that we retain it is determined by a number of factors, including the purpose for which we use that information and to comply with our other legal obligations (apart from GDPR). We maintain a Retention Schedule, which records approved retention periods, the reasoning for the retention period and end of life treatment. Some of these retention periods are currently being defined by us and an update of this privacy policy will be added to our website once they have been formally approved.

We do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary. Where you have consented for us to retain your data, we will only hold the data for the duration of your consent.

Children

Children’s data are collected and processed in accordance with the information below. Parents and guardians are expected to ensure that the children they are responsible for are aware of how their personal data will be processed by us.

We require parental or guardian consent to process personal data of any child under the age of 14.

Using your information for marketing

We only send marketing information to you if you have explicitly agreed to our doing so or have requested it and we will only do so in the way(s) you have agreed to. You can withdraw consent at any time.

See below for more information.

Marketing information covers information about tickets to events, special offers, opportunities, products and services and other commercial information.
