4 Third Party Sharing

4.1 Third parties

4.3 Transfers abroad

We will only transfer your personal information to third parties based in countries outside the European Union in very limited circumstances.

5 The legal bases for processing your personal data

The GDPR sets out a number of different reasons for which an organisation may collect and process your personal data. We rely on the following legal bases:

Consent

› In specific situations, we will collect and process your information with your consent. We will always make it clear to you what you are consenting to and what information is necessary for which services.

Contractual obligations

› In certain circumstances, we need your information to carry out our contractual obligations.

Legal obligations

› If we are required to by law, we may need to collect and process your information.

Legitimate interests

› In specific situations, we require your information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which you might reasonably expect as part of running our business and providing the services of the Club, and which will not materially impact your rights, freedoms or interests.

In the case of special category data, we will seek your explicit consent in line with our obligations under the GDPR.

6 Your rights

The GDPR, which applies as of 25 May 2018, gives you certain rights over your personal information:

› Right to access your personal information;
› Right to have your personal information kept up to date;
› Right to have your personal information erased;
› Right to restrict our processing of your personal information;
› Right to have your personal information transferred from us to another organisation; and
› Right to object to our processing of your personal information.
› Right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

You can submit a request to exercise any of these rights in accordance with the GDPR. It will be free of charge, except where we deem it unfounded or excessive.

A fuller explanation of each of these rights, and the formal request procedure, is available on request.

7 Changes to our Privacy Notice

The Club may update this Privacy Notice as appropriate. We will never materially change our policies or procedures to make them less protective of personal information collected in the past.
