This policy describes how we, National Schools Sevens, collect and use information about you when you use our website or services. We take your privacy very seriously and want to maintain your trust – that is what this policy is all about.
By using our website or services, you’re agreeing that we can use your personal data in the ways described in this policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use our website or services.
We may collect and process certain types of information about you:
We will only use your information where we have a lawful basis, either because you’ve given consent, it’s necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or because it’s in our legitimate interests. Specifically, we may use your information:
We sometimes need to share your personal data with other companies or third parties, but only where necessary and as described in this policy:
We may transfer your personal data to third parties located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Transfers will be protected by appropriate safeguards, namely the use of standard data protection clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission.
We’ll try not to keep your information longer than is necessary for the purpose it was collected for.
For example, we keep web server logs that record information about a visitor to our website, such as IP address, browser and operating system for approximately 30 days. We keep the logs for this period to analyse traffic and investigate if something goes wrong with the website.
We may retain your personal data where necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person.
We will take appropriate precautions to secure your personal data and to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of it. We may store your personal data on secure servers, personal computers and mobile devices, and in secure manual record-keeping systems.
Data that is sent from your web browser to our web server, or from our web server to your web browser, will be protected using encryption technology.
You acknowledge that the transmission of unencrypted data over the internet is insecure, and we can’t guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
You’re entitled to access, correct or delete (if we no longer need it to provide our services to you or for legal reasons) your personal data. You can contact us using the details in the ‘Our details’ section of this policy.
You can unsubscribe from any of our marketing or newsletter email subscriptions at any time by following the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. You can also access a preference centre from a link in the email where you can check and update your personal data.
You can request that we supply you a copy of your personal data; the first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.
If you think that our use of your personal information infringes data protection laws, we will try to resolve your complaint directly, but you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Where the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Our website includes hyperlinks to, and details of, third party websites. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of third parties.
Our website is targeted at persons over the age of 16. If we have reason to believe that we hold personal data of a person under that age in our databases, we will delete that personal data.
For any data where we act as a data processor rather than a data controller, this policy shall not apply. Our legal obligations as a data processor are instead set out in the contract between us and the relevant data controller, and the data controller’s own privacy policy will apply.
