Privacy Policy
Our Commitment
At Northwest Basketball Partnership, we are committed to protecting your personal information and handling it with care and transparency. As a Community Interest Company working to expand access to basketball across the Northwest of England, we understand the importance of data protection and follow the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) in all our activities.
What Information We Collect
When you engage with us – whether by registering for a session, volunteering, attending an event, or making an enquiry – we may collect personal information. This can include your name, contact details, emergency contact information, and any relevant medical or health information to ensure your safety and wellbeing during activities. Occasionally, we may also collect details about your participation, progress, or ask for consent to use photographs or videos for promotional purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We collect and use your information so we can manage activities safely and effectively. This includes confirming bookings, sharing event details, ensuring safeguarding, and improving our services. If we plan to use your image or story for promotional materials, we will always request your permission first. Your data will only be used for the purposes you have agreed to, and we do not use it for direct marketing unless you’ve given your consent.
How We Store and Protect Your Data
We take data security seriously. All personal information is stored securely, whether in digital systems or physical records. Access is limited to authorised staff or volunteers who are trained to handle data responsibly. Where we use trusted external systems – for example, for registration or communications – we make sure they comply with relevant data protection laws.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We only keep personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. When the data is no longer needed, we securely delete or dispose of it in line with our data retention procedures.
Your Rights
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or update it, and to request that we delete it where appropriate. If you have given us consent for a specific purpose, such as media use, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights or have any concerns about how your information is being used, please contact us:
Email: info@nwbbp.co.uk
You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has not been handled correctly. You can find more information at www.ico.org.uk.
