Withdrawing consent or otherwise objecting to direct marketing
Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds for processing your data for other purposes, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you club promotional material without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests. You have an absolute right to opt-out of promotional/marketing material, at any time. You can do this by following the instructions on the club website, or in the communication where this is an electronic message, or by contacting us using the details set out below in the “How do I get in touch with you?” section.

Who will we share this data with, where and when?
Some limited information may be shared with other stakeholders in Hockey, such as our Governing Body (England Hockey), our 100 club, Horntye Park Sports Complex (Member list), Sussex Hockey Association, umpiring associations, league organisers, the local press, and other clubs so that they can maintain appropriate records and assist us in organising matches, collecting membership and shop payments, producing match day sport reports and administering the game.
Personal data may be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of our or England Hockey legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws.
Personal data will also be shared with third party service providers, who will process it on our behalf for the purposes identified above. Such third parties include the England Hockey as our Governing body, and providers of website hosting and membership payments (Pitchero) and the club shop (Grays International)
We do not transfer or process your data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

What rights do I have?
You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format.
In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).
These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping.
To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us– or, as appropriate, the England Hockey or its data protection officer – using the details set out below. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Much of the information listed above must be provided on a mandatory basis so that we can make the appropriate legal checks and register you as required by England Hockey Rules and Regulations.

If this is not provided, we may not be able to provide you with appropriate assistance, services or support.

Where we process personal data for promotional purposes or with your consent, we process the data unless you ask us to stop, when we will only process the data for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data indefinitely so that we can respect your request in future.
