We offer two different types of service:
1. For the general public we provide information about clubs available in the local area. Where a member of the public explicitly provides us with personal information we will use the details in the manner that would reasonably be expected. For example it is reasonable for you to expect us to use your email address to send you email, your postal address to send you post, your phone number to phone you, etc. Other than that we do not share your details with anyone unless legally obliged to do so. If you ask us about specific clubs then, depending on the nature of your enquiry, we may pass your information to the club that you are asking about.
2. For club organisers we publish information to the general public about the club's meetings. We are the data controller for any personal information relating to the creation of and running of the club organiser's account with us. With regard to the information that a club publishes on our site we act as a data processor for the club and it is the club who are data controller for the information that they publish on our site.
We collect and use your data for the purpose we describe with each service we provide and in these cases we only collect the minimal information required to provide the service to you.
We collect statistical data about visits to our website. Some of this is personal data such as IP address that is logged for the purpose of crime prevention and detection.
We may use your personal data as necessary for the protection and assertion of our legitimate interests, our legal rights, your legal rights, the legal rights of others or to comply with a legal obligation.
If you are paying us money then we will ask you to provide your personal data directly to payment processors in order to complete payments to us.
As many companies must do we contract other companies to provide a part of our service in the capacity of a data processor. Specifically we use cloud service providers for web hosting and for email. We have assessed these providers and are satisfied that they meet the legal requirements and our own requirements for the handling of data.
We process data that you give us for the purpose that we state at the time you give us your data.
We store information under the following legal bases:
a. by your consent for our newsletters and responses to your enquiries.
b. by contract where you ask for a specific service from us such as the listing of your club.
c. by legitimate interest. We collect information about visitors to our website which we use to prevent cyber attacks on our services and for this we collect and share details of suspected attackers.
The state of any processing we do with your data and consent you have given and contracts you are bound to are available at any time by emailing us.
Please contact us for anything related to data protection or the GDPR or if you wish to raise a complaint on how we have handled your personal data. Also if you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are processing your personal data not in accordance with the law you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office https://ico.org.uk/
All our services are hosted solely on cloud platforms provided by our trusted suppliers. All web hosting services we provide are based in Europe with a cloud service provider who is compliant with ISO/IEC 27001:2013. Other servers reside in the UK, European Union, Canada and the USA. Canada is recognised by the EU as having privacy laws that are compatible with the GDPR and US companies that are Privacy Shield Certified are also recognised as having adequate legal protection. All USA companies we use are Privacy Shield certified, and all organisations in non-EU countries that we use are contracted to comply with GDPR legislation. All disks that hold customer or business information of any kind whether connected to servers or desktops are either in Enterprise-Grade secure facilities or encrypted at rest or both. Procedures are in place for ensuring the destruction of data on decommissioned equipment.
The only recipients of personal data for which we are the controller may be:
1) Postal services if we use them to deliver physical mail. The postal services use the recipient address information displayed on the packaging in order to deliver the package.
2) Any email service providers who form the pathway from our email servers to the recipients email address. Email delivery depends on the recipient email address contained in the message headers.
3) Our purpose is to publish contact information for clubs. This information is made publicly available. This information is controlled by the owner of the account who supplies this information to us.
Simply email us your name, account holder email address and phone number and we will email the account holder with details of how you can securely access the information we hold on you. You can exercise your right to redact using the details we send you with your subject access request.
If we provide you with a service we are required under UK tax law to keep your basic personal data (name, address, contact details) for a minimum of 6 years after which time it will be destroyed.
Your information we use for marketing purposes will be kept until you tell us that you no longer wish to receive marketing information.
