As required by the Club to conduct our business and pursue our legitimate interests, in particular:

we will use your information to manage and administer your membership and your involvement with our teams and club, and to keep in contact with you for these purposes;
we will also use data to maintain records of our performances and history, including match reports, score lines and team sheets;
we use CCTV cameras to maintain the security of our premises, and may use this video to investigate incidents at the Club;

Who will we share this data with, where and when?
Some limited information may be shared with other stakeholders in rugby, such as other clubs, Constituent Bodies, referee societies, league organisers, or other Rugby Unions so that they can maintain appropriate records and assist us in organising matches 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 Scottish Rugby’s legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws.

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. 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 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 Scottish Rugby Rules and Regulations. We will inform you which information is mandatory when it is collected. Some information is optional, particularly information such as your medical information. If this is not provided, we may not be able to provide you with appropriate assistance, services or support.

How do we manage your data?
All data is retained within the Pitchero Website for our membership with any restricted access to data depending on the role held within the club. For example, an U15 Coach only has access to the data from that age group and cannot see personal or sensitive data from other age groups or sections.

All representatives of the club have access to a club email account which takes the form user@hamiltonrugbyclub.co.uk which is managed through our email provider IONOS, formally known as 1and1.co.uk.

In addition to the above, we collect data for our Youth Section through JotForm and store information for registration and attendance in Google Suite, a secure restricted access server. Some of this information is used to enter data into Pitchero for both the player and parent.

Where data is provided, with consent, in hard copy this is stored in a secure filing cabinet with restricted access. This is either handed to the individual at the end of their active involvement with the club or securely destroyed within the timeframes outlined later in this policy document.

How do I get in touch with you?
We hope that we can satisfy queries you may have about the way we process your data. If you have any concerns about how we process your data, you can get in touch with The Secretary at Hamilton Rugby Football Club, 121 Bent Road, Hamilton ML3 6PY or via email at secretary@hamiltonrugbyclub.co.uk

How long will you retain my data?
We process the majority of your data for as long as you are an active member and for 3 years after this. We will retain information held to maintain statutory records in line with appropriate statutory requirements or guidance.

Email correspondence from club managed accounts will be deleted within 3 months through our email provider IONOS, formally 1and1.

We will maintain records of individuals who have registered on SCRUMS, records of PVG checks and the resulting outcomes and other disciplinary matters for such period as is set out in Scottish Rugby’s privacy notice.

Records of your involvement in a particular match, on team sheets, on results pages or in match reports may be held indefinitely both by us and Scottish Rugby in order to maintain a record of the game.
