Non-member information and social media
On occasion we may collect personal data from non-members (e.g. such as any non-member participant who fills in a health disclaimer or form at a taster event). This information will be stored for a maximum of 3 months after an event and then destroyed securely. Our lawful basis for processing data is consent. Therefore, we will also need explicit consent from non-members to process this data, which we will ask for at the point of collecting it.
The club has Facebook and Twitter social media pages. All members are free to join these pages. If you join one of the social media pages, please note that providers of the social media platform(s) have their own privacy policies and that the Club do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data on the Club social media pages.
Who we share your personal data with
The Club does not share any personal data it holds with any other third party except as set out in this policy. We will not use your personal data to support third-party marketing or fund raising activities without your consent. The Club does not, in the normal course of business, store or transfer your personal data outside of the UK. Where for the operational running of the club a transfer of your personal data overseas is required it is with the appropriate safeguards in place to ensure the security of that personal data.
Membership direct debit/standing order transactions are managed by the Membership Secretary. A direct debit/standing order will only be set up based on a signed authority from you and using information supplied by you explicitly for that purpose.
We are also required to provide England Hockey with details of our membership as part of the Affiliation process. Any information supplied is general, is aggregated, and is NOT associated with a player name. The exception to this is personal details of Committee members and role holders who give their consent as part of accepting their position of resonsibility.
Hockey players are registered on Fixtures Live for the purposes of administering coaching and playing of Hockey at the Club. You can set your own privacy settings directly via your own Fixtures Live login.
The Club is also accredited under ClubMark and this requires us to provided information usually on an aggregated and anonymised basis. However, for Committee members, Officers of the Club, coaches and those involved in player development at all ages personal details are required as part of the accreditation process. Such information is provided within a password protected section of the England Hockey website and we will obtain individual consent to providing such information either as part of the membership application process or on appointment.
Security of your personal data

Personal data is held in the club’s computer system and/or manual filing system. Paper copies are only retained for the time it takes us to transfer the information to a secure computer environment. Documents once computerised are then shredded. Computer files of personal information are password protected and the transfer of information between users of the information is also password protected.
Information is regularly backed-up and held in a secure external storage.
Disclosure of your personal data will never be made unless we are required by law to make such a transfer and in those circumstances we will always inform you that such a request has been made and will be complied with.
How long we hold your personal data for
The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for each purpose we use it. For most membership data, this means we retain it for so long as you have a valid Club membership and for a maximum period of six years after your last interaction with us.
Exceptions to this rule are:
• Details regarding unsuccessful membership applicants where we may hold records for a period of not more than 12 months;
• Information that may be relevant to personal injury or discrimination claims may be retained until the limitation period for those types of claims has expired. For personal injury or discrimination claims this can be an extended period as the limitation period might not start to run until a long time after the event.
