Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal information to the extent that we are entitled to do on basis other than your consent. Withdrawing your consent may also have the same effects as not providing the information in the first place, for example, we may no longer be able to provide certain member benefits to you.

5. DIRECT MARKETING
We do not use your information to contact you regarding any marketing messages.

6. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share personal information with the following parties:
• Any party approved by you

our club: to allow them to properly administer the sports on a local, regional and
national and international level

the investigation and prevention of crime, the protection of national security and safeguarding.

7. TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION INTERNATIONALLY
The personal information we collect may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the UK and the European Union. Some of these jurisdictions require different levels of protection in respect of personal information and, in certain circumstances, the laws in those countries may be less protective than the jurisdiction you are typically resident in. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is only used in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable data protection laws and is respected and kept secure and where a third party processes your data on our behalf, we will put in place appropriate safeguards as required under data protection laws. For further details, please contact us by using the details set out in the “Contacting Us” section below.

8. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION 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. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long-term basis, for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements. Generally, where

there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of 10 years after your last contact with us. Exceptions to this rule are:
• Information that may be relevant to personal injury claims, 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 may not start to run until a long time after you have cancelled your membership with us
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date, and you should let us know if anything changes, for example, if you change your phone number or email address.
You can contact us to update your information by using the details in the “Contacting Us” section below.

9. YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have the following rights in relation to your persona information:
• The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used
• The right to access the personal information we hold about you
• The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold
about you
• The right to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited
circumstances
• The right to restrict processing of your personal information where certain
requirements are met
• The right to object to the processing of your personal information
• The right to request that we transfer elements of your data to either you or another
service provider, and
• The right to object to certain automated decision-making processes using your
personal information
You should note that some of these rights, for example, the right to require us to transfer your data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision making, may not apply as they have specific requirements and exemptions which apply to them and they may not apply to personal information recorded and stored by us. For example, we do not use automated decision making in relation to your personal data. However, some have no conditions attached, so your right to withdraw consent or object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.
Whilst this privacy notice sets out a general summary of your legal rights in respect of persona information, this is a very complex area of law. More information can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/ .
