Data Protection Statement

This statement was last updated September 2018, it outlines your rights as a data subject – and our compliance with GDPR (required from May 2018).

What data we will collect

In becoming a member, Stourbridge Running Club will collect certain information about you which will include your name, date of birth, gender, email address, address, telephone number, emergency contact data nominated by you, and (for our coaches, leaders and club officials), details of any coaching or officiating licenses you hold. Collectively, this is referred to as your Athletics Data.

Race results that are publicly available will be collated and re-published on the Stourbridge Running Club website. In addition, results of club competition and inter-club competition  may also be published on our website. Please be aware that when you participate in any sporting event, your results will be published on the organiser’s site and numerous other race results sites. In many cases photographs are posted with runners’ names and individuals are identified.

If you run with us as a guest (a non-member) you are required to provide your name and emergency contact details. These are held as a hand-written note only, and are destroyed at the end of each run session.

Whether you are a member or a guest, Stourbridge Running Club records and stores anonymous ‘head-count’ totals for each run session.

Photographs are often taken at Stourbridge Running Club training sessions and at Stourbridge Running Club competitions. The photographs may be used by the Club on this website and in club publicity and promotion. Wherever practicable, individual names will not be used.

Why we will collect it

• We will collect and process your Athletics Data for the purposes of registering you as a member of Stourbridge Running Club and administering your involvement in the sport.
• We monitor numbers attending so we can plan future sessions (i.e. try to ensure sufficient numbers of run leaders are available according to numbers participating).

In both cases, we will process it on the basis of legitimate interests. The legitimate interests are the interests of registering you as a member (and where requested by you, registering your details with England Athletics) and to administer our club activities.

How long we will keep it

We will retain your Athletics Data for such time as you are a member registered with us and will then delete your information as follows:

• Athletics Data: Three years after an individual has not renewed their membership.
• Published race results and Club Records: Indefinitely
  Note: race results are published and freely available online from many sources. Stourbridge Running Club cannot manage data controlled by third-parties
