• indirectly, such as your browsing activity while on our website; where we will usually collect information indirectly using the technologies as outlined in the Cookies section above.

The personal data we collect about you depends on the particular activities carried out through our website. We will collect and use the following personal data about you:

• your name, address and contact information, including email address and telephone number (if you choose to provide this) and company details (where applicable);
• information to check and verify your identity (e.g. date of birth);

Under data protection law, we can only use your personal information if we have a proper reason, for example:

• where you have given consent;
• to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
• for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract; or
• for our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your personal data, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own. You can obtain details of this assessment by contacting us (see ‘How can you contact us’ below).

We have set out below, in table format, a description of the ways we may use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Please contact [email protected] if you would like further detail about our legitimate interests.

OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may collect, store and use your personal information for the purposes of bringing or defending any legal proceedings or meeting any legal or compliance obligations we have.

Where we use your personal information for the purposes of meeting any legal or compliance obligations, we will do this on the legal basis that it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.

Where we use your personal information for the purpose of bringing or defending legal proceedings our legal basis will be that it is in our legitimate interests. Please contact our Company Secretary at [email protected], if you would like further detail about our legitimate interests.

MARKETING

We may use your personal data to send you updates (by email, text message or post) about our products and services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new products and/or services.

We have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for marketing purposes (please see section above). This means we do not need your consent to send you marketing information. If we change our marketing approach in the future so that consent is needed, we will ask for this separately and clearly.

You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:

• contacting us at [email protected];
• using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails; [or updating your marketing preferences on our website.]

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further products and/or services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never share it with other organisations outside of the British Rowing group of companies for marketing purposes.

For more information on your right to object at any time to your personal data being used for marketing purposes, see the section, ‘What Rights Do You Have Over Your Personal Information’ below.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T PROVIDE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE HAVE ASKED FOR?

If you don’t provide the personal information we need when we ask for it, we may not be able to respond to you or enter into a contract with you. For example, if you do not give us your contact details, we may not be able to answer any queries that you have raised. If you have any concerns about whether you need to provide your personal information, please contact our Company Secretary at [email protected].

WILL WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING?

We do not use your personal information to make decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision making (i.e. one without human intervention).

WILL WE CHANGE THE WAY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We will only use your personal information for the purposes set out in this privacy notice and cookie policy. We can only change the purposes we use your personal information for, by telling you where we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with those purposes set out in this privacy notice and cookie policy.

If we need to use your personal information for any other purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to use your personal information for this other purpose in a similar way to how we have done it in this privacy notice and cookie policy.

HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We will not keep your personal information for longer than we need it for the purposes we have explained in this privacy notice. We have outlined our retention periods below.

We will only keep the personal information derived from the cookies for the period specified in the table above.

We will keep your other personal information in our active systems for the length of time you are within the role relevant to our communications with you or for a period of six years, whichever is the longer.

If a dispute arises between us, we will keep your personal information for the purposes of responding to and dealing with this dispute and this may mean that we keep your personal information for longer than as set out above. Please contact our Company Secretary at [email protected] if you would like any further information about our retention periods.

We will ensure that your personal information is securely deleted after the retention periods stated above have expired.

WHO WILL WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH?

We may share your personal information with trusted third parties from time to time. We do not sell any personal information to any third party so that they can send you their marketing material.

We have set out below the third parties we may share your personal information with. If we do this, we will put in place a contract with them which controls how your personal information may be used and which requires that your personal information is treated in accordance with data protection laws.

• With companies who provide support for our internal IT systems: We use reputable third parties to provide us with our IT systems (including our website) and support for them. They may access your personal information to the extent that they need to in order to provide their services and deal with any issues.
• With a company that we merge with or transfer our business assets to: In the event that we sell all or part of our business, or merge with another company, we may transfer personal information that we have collected as described in this privacy notice and cookie policy, along with our other business assets, to the company that we are selling to or merging with.
• With entities, organisations or individual for legal reasons: We will share your personal information with entities, companies or individuals where this is strictly necessary to comply with any law, rule, regulation, governmental request or legal procedure that is applicable to us.
• With entities, companies or individuals to obtain advice: We will share your personal information with external professional advisors such as lawyers or accountants in order to take advice and for the purposes of legal and tribunal proceedings or enforce the terms of our agreements.

We will only disclose such personal information to any third party as is necessary to enable them to carry out the function or purpose for which it is disclosed. If you would like further information on the third parties we may share your personal information with and our legal basis for sharing your personal information with third parties, please contact our Company Secretary at [email protected].

WILL WE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE UK/EEA?

European Economic Area (“EEA”) countries are all EU Member countries together with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The United Kingdom (“UK”) is no longer an EEA country but its data protection laws are aligned with those of the EEA countries. At the present time we store your personal information in the UK or in countries within the EEA. We will only transfer your personal information outside the UK and EEA as follows:

• Where our third-party service providers who we share personal information with (as set out above) are based outside the UK and EEA, have support services located outside the UK and EEA or host personal information outside the UK and EEA.

We only transfer your personal information outside the UK and EEA where we have a legal basis for doing so and where we require that your personal information is protected to the same standard as it would be protected in the UK and EEA. We do this by entering into data sharing agreements with the recipients of your personal information based outside the UK and EEA which comply with the EU Commission’s standard clauses or the UK’s international data transfer agreement for the transfer of personal information.

If you would like further details about our transfer of your personal information outside the UK and EEA or details of the safeguards put in place in relation to your personal information please contact our Company Secretary at [email protected].

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE?

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties (see above) who have a business need-to-know.

We have put procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you, if we have your contact details, and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we are able to disclose personal information to you.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are unhappy about the way your personal information is being used – please refer to the ICO website for further information about this (www.ico.org.uk).
