We may collect, use, store and transfer some personal data of our participants and their parents or guardians, and other members. The data we collect from participants may include:

​

• Name, date of birth and gender

• Contact information, such as a home address, email address and telephone numbers.

Where we hold this data it will be with the explicit consent of the participant or, if applicable, the participant’s parent or guardian.

• Where we need to collect personal data to fulfil our responsibilities and a participant fails to provide that data, we may not be able to honour or administer their participation in football.

 

How is your personal data collected? A participant may give us their personal data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email, in person, via our website or otherwise. This will typically be provided to the FA or league by inputting participant details into the Whole Game System. Other participants, such as referees, may input their own data into the Whole Game System. Please refer to the Essex FA for the details of their Privacy Policy.

You may receive such information by post, telephone, or email. If at any time, you prefer not to receive such communications from us in any or all forms (except in connection with information, products, or services that you specifically request), then you have the right to inform us to stop such communications at any time.

​

Sharing your personal data

As a club, we enter participant and/or member details onto the Whole Game System which is administered by the FA. We also use the other systems for maintaining information regarding our participants and hold parental and/or guardian information. These systems may also hold medical and emergency contact information.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to comply with any legal obligation; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our participants, members or affiliates, or others.

​

Protection of your personal data

 

We are committed to protecting your privacy and have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. However, the nature of the Internet is such that the data may in some circumstances flow over networks without full security measures and could be accessible to unauthorized persons.

​

Data Retention

 

We keep personal data on our participants, members, and other website users while they are signed up to BHRFC. We will delete this data one year after an individual has ended their membership or affiliation, or sooner if specifically requested and we are able to do so. We may need to retain some personal data for longer for legal or regulatory purposes. Some financial information may be required to be held for longer (5 years).

​

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
