What is this statement for?
This statement explains how Saffron Walden Cricket Club (“we” and “the club”) handles and uses information we collect about our members, volunteers and supporters and the legal basis for what we do with it. We use your personal information, including names and contact details, to manage your membership, registration, health and safety and subscriptions, to organise coaching and matches, and to keep you informed.
When changes are made to this statement, we will publish the updated version on our website and notify you as we consider it appropriate or necessary.
Who is looking after your information?
You have a right to know who in the Club is looking after your personal information. The controller for your personal information is Saffron Walden Cricket Club, c/o “Cobblers”, Linton Road, Hadstock, Cambridge, CB21 4NU. The person responsible for data protection at the time this statement was created and the person who is responsible for monitoring compliance with relevant legislation in relation to the protection of personal information, is the Club Secretary ([email protected])
What is the legal basis for handling your information?
There are several legal bases on which we can handle personal information. The normal legal basis for processing the personal information of players, Vice Presidents and volunteers is that it is necessary in the performance of one or more contracts with us; in most cases this is formalised by subscriptions and application forms. The legal basis for processing the personal information of other supporters is our legitimate interest in promoting cricket and the activities and the club, especially by recruiting players and supporters and raising funds to enable the club to function. You may ask us for further information on these matters at any time if you have specific concerns.

How long we keep your information for
Personal information about Academy members and their parents is removed from the database, and paper records destroyed, one year after the season in which the member last played unless they wish to remain in the club.
Personal information about senior players is kept for two years after the player last played for the club, with the exception of names, addresses, dates of birth and email contacts, unless they wish to remain in the club; this is kept so that we can invite you to events and keep you informed. You can ask us to erase your details at any time.
Personal information about supporters is kept until a request is made for it to be deleted, or the supporter dies.
2020 Special Amendment – because we have received no new registrations in 2020, on account of the Covid-19 crisis, we are not carrying out our usual purge of records of those Academy members who have not registered for two years, or senior members for three years. We will resume this practice in 2021.
How we share your personal information
Within the Club
We share the following information with people within the Club:
Academy Managers and coaches: names of Academy members, dates of birth, contact details of parents, medical conditions (for safety reasons).
Senior captains: names, contact details.
Selection Committee: names, contact details.
Executive Committee: the Committee needs access to personal information for a number of reasons, including:
-
the Chairman/volunteer co-ordinator needs to contact players, coaches, volunteers and supporters;
-
the Club Treasurer monitors subscriptions and donations;
-
the Fixtures Secretary manages senior fixtures including appointment of umpires and scorers and secures player registrations and transfers;
-
the Academy Coordinator and Academy Secretary manage training and fixtures for players up to and including under 16s;

the Club Secretary manages membership lists and communications, working with the database manager;

Outside the Club
District and County Cricket Boards: names, dates of birth, addresses, contact details of parents.
Play-Cricket: when we register players, we supply names, addresses, dates of birth and contact numbers. Only the names of players, year groups where applicable, and records of performance will appear on publicly available areas of the Play-Cricket site.
The Club does not share details of members, parents or supporters with any other charitable or commercial organisations, including sponsors.
The Club sometimes uses photographs of members on its website and other social media. This may include photographs of groups of children, but in such cases the children are not named individually. Parental permission will be sought before publication of named photographs of any child under 16.
Otherwise, the Club restricts the sharing of your personal information within the Club: all managers and others with access to members’ personal data are regularly reminded of their responsibility to protect data and will not share it except where this is necessary for smooth running of the Club. Any personal information shared within the Club is encrypted or password protected.
