General Data Protection Regulations
Lichfield Hockey Club (‘the Club’) hold and process personal data about you obtained either from you or your guardians/parents. This data is held to be able to allow the Club to administer the normal procedures relating to the playing and coaching of hockey and all that it entails. This means that the Hockey Club Committee (‘the Committee’) is a ‘data controller’ under data protection legislation and have to inform you of certain information, which is set out in this notice.
The data the Committee hold is the information necessary to run the club and perform the functions necessary to allow the game of hockey to be played, this includes your name, gender, date of birth, address and contact details. In certain circumstances, the Committee may also seek your consent to record more sensitive personal data about you, for example, medical information. (All of this information will initially be recorded on the current Streetly Hockey Club Membership Form.) It is necessary for the Committee to hold and process this data to comply with the appropriate obligations for the playing of hockey and all that this entails.
Additionally, in order to facilitate the game of hockey to be played (and linked activities such as coaching), the Committee may need to disclose your data to other parties, such as England Hockey, MRHA, Staffordshire County Hockey Association, Lichfield Sports Club and other bodies as necessary to allow the game of hockey to be played.
The provision of your personal data is not a requirement of any contract or legislation, nor are you obliged to provide your personal data. However, if you do not the Club may not be able to provide you access to the facilities to benefit from the playing of hockey and you would have to cease to be a member.
The Committee will retain your data whilst you remain a member of the Club and will destroy it after the renewal date following your non-participation in activities or until a transfer notice is received. Any processing of your data, once you have left, will only take place where strictly necessary.
It is important to inform the Committee of any changes in your personal details to ensure the information held is accurate and kept up to date. If you need to do this or wish to know more about the information held by the Committee or the purposes for which it is held, please contact the Lichfield HC Chair.
In addition, you are entitled to request access to or removal of any personal data being held by the Committee though if you were to request the removal of your personal data the Committee would be unable to allow you to continue as a member of the Hockey Club.
If you have a complaint about the Committee’s’ management of your data, you have the right to lodge the complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, which can be contacted on 0303 123 1113 or via other methods of communication as explained on their website (currently https://ico.org.uk).
