PERSONAL DATA
Why and how we use any personal data
Personal information
Any personal details supplied when you become a Centurion
This personal data may (but not necessarily) includes your:
- personal details including name, gender, Athletic Club, date of birth;
- images, photos and videos;
If you are an existing Centurion, we may use any contact details you provide to send you newsletters or similar products. We may use the information that you provide to us:
- for general research and analysis purposes: about how our visitors use our website and social media sites to understand customer behaviour or preferences. For example, we may use information about how visitors to Centurions WorldWide.org.uk search for and find information to better understand the best ways to organise and present our information.
Race results and other personal details appearing on this website (Centurions Worldwide.org.uk) or the Commuity of Centurions World Wide Facebook page
- The Centurions Worldwide publish race reports on its website which can be accessed by individuals who are not Centurions.
- This may also involve occasionally publishing photographs of Centurions whilst participating in races and events. (see Photos below)
- We understand that this involves us using your personal information and we are committed to respecting your rights to data privacy – in particular, the General Data Protection Regulations requires us to be able to rely on a “lawful basis” when using your personal information. In this regard, we consider that we are able to rely on the lawful basis of our “legitimate interests”, namely publicising information about any Centurions and their activities to encourage interested individuals to take part in race walking events.
Photos
Almost all athletes/walkers/supporters at races have a camera/smartphone and many are very keen to take photos of the venue, other race walkers, individually and in group shots etc.
Quite often there maybe "official" photographers as well as local press in attendance taking photos during an event.
However, your photo is personal data and we have to have rules on how these are taken and stored.
1. Should your photo appear on the website, newsletter or on social media (eg Facebook) and you have not given express permission, please contact the web master and we will take all reasonable efforts to remove the photo from the website.
2. However, please note: Race entry application forms should, normally, deal with this and so inform all participating athletes that by signing the terms and conditions of the race entry, this may involve photos being taken and published.
So, basically, if you are sure that you don’t want your mugshot appearing on the website - then just turn your face away well away from the camera!
We are committed to protecting your personal information and we want to give you as much control as possible as to how we use your personal information. Therefore, if you would prefer for us not to publish photographs of you on the Centurions Worldwide website, please let us know by emailing the Web Manager and we will ensure that any photographs of you which are not published on the website.
We may also hold details of name, date of birth, gender, club, etc, for the purpose of displaying race results for races which Centurions take part in.
If you do not wish your information to be displayed, please contact the Web Manager.
Note: when entering a race you may have already consented to your information appearing in their results or being passed to a third party.
