1. INTRODUCTION
We, Ashburton Swimming Pool (ASP), are the ‘controllers’ of the information we collect about you (‘personal data’).
Our contact details are set out in section 16 of this policy.
As controllers of your personal data, we are responsible for how your data is processed. The word ‘process’ covers most things that can be done with personal data such as the collection, use, storage, sharing and erasure of that data. We are committed to complying with data protection legislation in our handing of your personal data.
This Privacy Policy informs our customers and users about why and how we process your personal data including how we look after it and with whom we may share it. It covers data we collect from or about you via our website (see links below), at our venue and through the various services we offer.
You have certain rights in relation to your personal data including the right to object to the processing of your information in certain circumstances. Further information about your rights is included in section 13 of this policy.
2. PERSONAL DATA
‘Personal data’ is any information that relates to a living, identifiable person. This data can include your name, contact details, and other information we gather as part of our relationship with you.
It can also include ‘special categories’ of data, which is information about a person’s race or ethnic origin, religious, political or other beliefs, physical or mental health, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, sex life or sexual orientation. The collect and use of this type of data is subject to strict controls. Similarly, information about criminal convictions and offences is also limited in the way it can be processed.
We will collect your personal data mostly through our contact with you and the data is usually provided by you but in some instances, we may receive data about you from other people or organisations. We will explain when this might happen in this policy.
3. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND WHY?
We are committed to protecting your personal data and will only process the data if we need to for a specific purpose and providing we have a legal basis, as explained below.
There are various legal bases on which we may collect and process your data. We may have your consent, for example, you have informed us that you are happy for us to process your information for a specific purpose such as providing a service to you or receiving further information about what we do. Sometimes there is a contractual reason such as being able to process a monthly direct debit payment and deliver our services to you. If so, we will not be able to enter into a contract with you in the absence of the data. Occasionally there may be a legal reason for collecting or sharing data, such as for employees when we have to collect the information for the HMRC, or, should you have an accident, we may need to provide details of this to the relevant health and safety authorities. We may also process your data based on our legitimate business interests, for example, in order to operate and improve our business.
