Privacy Notice

 

Who we are

Widnes VIPS is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that has been established to
support player recruitment and retention at Widnes Vikings Rugby League Club, through voluntary recurring contributions from members.
 

What we collect and why we process your personal information

Personal information is any data which by itself or with other data available to data processors can be used to identify individuals. The processing of personal data in the UK is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), via the Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018.

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you when you sign up to become a member or trustee. We hold this personal data in order to maintain your membership of Widnes VIPS, to keep you informed of news and events, and to seek your views on related matters, or to accept you as a trustee. We do not hold or process any information relating to members, classified as special category data under GDPR, but do hold such information relating to trustees.

We also receive personal information indirectly. The personal information that we collect from members and trustees, both directly and indirectly, is detailed in the following table:

*This information is not recorded in our databases and is retained for an appropriate retention period (until receipt of the first payment) during the processing of membership applications.

 

** Only applies if you request an email receipt.


Widnes VIPS will only appoint processors who can provide sufficient guarantees around compliance with GDPR and that the rights of data subjects will be protected.

  • To inform you of Widnes VIPS news, events, activities and to seek your views on related matters
     

What is the legal basis for processing your data?

Under GDPR, the lawful basis which we rely on for processing this information is:

  • Processing is necessary to fulfil the requirement of your membership of Widnes VIPS. By signing up to become a Widnes VIPS member, you are giving consent freely to the processing of your personal data.
