What personal data we collect and why we collect it

CLUB OFFICIALS

To provide a service to website users, we include the full names of club officials as supplied by the club at the beginning of each season. These details can be deleted on request.

CLUB PLAYERS

To provide a service to website users, we include the full names and profile hotographs of club players as supplied by the club at the beginning of each season on an official Clubnets form (profile photographs of individuals in under 18 teams will not be used).

The form contains confirmation of consent for use of the names of players under the age of 18. A copy of the signed form will be provided to any player or the parent of an under-18 age player on request. These details will be deleted on request.

Changes from May 25th 2018: We understand that amateur player names/photographs are likely to be in the public domain. However, to ensure compliance with the new GDPR legislation, all Clubnets player forms from the 2018/19 season onwards will contain a separate tick box for every player listed. Club officials will be requested to obtain consent for use of each player’s name individually before ticking the box. Players will nevertheless retain their right to have their name and photograph deleted on request. Clubnets reserves the right to use the player’s initials for statistical purposes.
