Privacy Policy

Data Protection

Any information you provide to Southampton Canoe Club will be held securely and processed only in accordance with the rules on data protection. We will not disclose your personal details to anyone unconnected to Southampton Canoe Club unless:

• you have consented to their release; or
• we are legally obliged to disclose them; or
• we regard disclosure as necessary so that we can properly carry out our Club functions.

We may also disclose information about you to another relevant public authority, but only if:

• we can lawfully do so; and
• we decide that disclosure is necessary or appropriate for national security, law
  enforcement, or other issues in the public interest.

We will ensure that any such disclosure is proportionate; considers your right to respect for your private life; and is done fairly and lawfully in accordance with the data protection principles of the Data Protection Act.

The Data Protection Act 2018 regulates the use of ‘personal data’, which is essentially any information, however stored, about identifiable living individuals. As a ‘data controller’ under the Act, Southampton Canoe Club must comply with its requirements.
