Bournville Harriers (Club) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. For any personal data you provide for the purposes of your membership, Bournville Harriers is the Data Controller and is responsible for storing and otherwise processing that data in a fair, lawful, secure and transparent way.
What personal data we hold on you
You may give us information about you by filling in forms at an event or online, or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise. This includes information you provide when you register with the Club, join one of our courses or events, or enquire about running with us. The information you give us may include your name, date of birth, address, e-mail address, phone number, name of the EA affiliated Clubs with which you are registered and gender (Athletics Data). If you join the club as part of a couple, we will also hold your marital status and the name of your partner.
Why we need your personal data
The reason we need your Athletics Data is to be able to administer your membership, and provide the membership services you are signing up to when you register with the club. Our lawful basis for processing your personal data is that we have an obligation to you as a member to provide the services you are registering for.
Reasons we may need to process your data include:
For training and competition entry
- sharing personal data with club team managers to enter events;
- sharing personal data with leagues, county associations and other competition providers for entry in events.
For funding and reporting purposes
- sharing anonymised data with a funding partner as condition of grant funding e.g. Local Authority;
- analysing anonymised data to monitor club trends; and
- sending an bi-annual club survey to improve your experience as a club member
For membership and club management
- processing of membership forms and payments;
- sharing data with committee members to provide information about club activities, membership renewals or invitation to social events;
- club communications promoting club activity;
- publishing of race and competition results (using social media and/or the club website); and
- publishing photographs of events on social media and the club website.
If you do not want us to publish your name or photo on our social media pages or club website, you may opt out of this. Please contact us here to opt out.
We do not request health information as standard. If you choose to share this with individual members of the committee or coaching team it will not be shared with any other coaches, committee members, or other members of the club unless you specifically consent for us to do so. Information on your health is considered ‘special category data’ and to the extent that we process such information, we do so on the lawful basis of consent. Therefore, we will also need your explicit consent to process this data.
On occasion we may collect personal data from non-members e.g. those who join our Beginners’ Course or other events. This information will be stored for 12 months after an event and then destroyed securely. Our lawful basis for processing data is consent. Therefore, we will also need explicit consent from non-members to process this data, which we will ask for at the point of collecting it.
The club also uses Social Media including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. All members are free to join these pages or follow the Club on them. If you join one of the Social Media pages, please note that provider of the social media platform(s) have their own privacy policies and that the Club do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data on the club social media pages or groups.

We will provide England Athletics with your personal data which they will use to enable access to an online portal for you (called MyAthletics). England Athletics will contact you to invite you to sign into and update your MyAthletics portal (which, amongst other things, allows you to set and amend your privacy settings). It is vital, therefore, that a valid email address is given, so that you can ensure that your data is correct and so that you can set your own privacy settings.

The Club does not supply any personal data it holds for this purpose to any other third party. The Club does not store or transfer your personal data outside of the UK.

Your data is not processed for any further purposes other than those detailed in this policy.
