The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25th May 2018. Whilst technically it only applies to Professional or Commercial Activities, it is not certain whether it would apply to Netball Leagues and Clubs.   In view of the level of data Colchester Netball League receives, it is considered, as a matter of good practice, that Colchester Netball League should adopt a Data Protection Policy and Privacy Notice in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, both of which are available on the Colchester Netball League website

 

Colchester Netball League collects and retains data only for specific purposes of the administration of Colchester Netball League, which includes but is not limited to membership, competitions, matches, forums, education and general information.  Colchester Netball League does not use the data nor pass it on to third parties for marketing purposes or to create personality or user profiles, the exception being the data provided to England Netball in respect of which we would refer you to England Netball’s own Data Protection Policy.

 

There are Nine Data Protection Principles which the Colchester Netball League look to comply with when processing personal data, in the course of its activities, as a Non-Profit Association.  

 

Colchester Netball League will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the Data Protection Principles are complied with by all its committee members, personnel and suppliers.
