Privacy Policy
This statement discloses the privacy policy for Wheatley RUFC.

Wheatley RUFC (WRUFC) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure online experience. In general, you can view this site and all the latest news and results without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Sometimes, however, the WRUFC needs to monitor website usage to help it to develop the website and our services.

Collection of Personal Information
WRUFC offers certain functions and services which, if you choose to use them, will require information from you in order to work, such as your name, email, address and mobile telephone number. WRUFC will endeavour to let you know before your personal information is collected from you on the internet.

Use of Personal Information
Primary Purposes
We use personal information for five primary purposes:

To perform the services you have requested (such as administering your subscription to a free online service or processing orders from the club shop)
To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once
To help you find what you're looking for quickly
To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you
To alert you to new services, special offers, and other info, unless you have indicated otherwise WRUFC is very much aware that some people will not want their information used other than for the purposes for which it was supplied; some will want to receive information from WRUFC on rugby issues only and others will want to receive more information.

WRUFC will use your personal data for the administration of the game, but will give you the choice as to what information if any you wish to receive by email.

In connection with commercial information, the categories have been divided into three groups, namely:

Products and commercial services available from WRUFC , these include Limited, CLUB SHOP and PAYMENTS
Products and services available from WRUFC official sponsors - these sponsors will be listed on the WRUFC website.
Products and services available from WRUFC official sponsors’ subsidiary or associate companies - WRUFC will not be able to list these entities
WRUFC has decided that for the first two categories you should be able to ‘Opt Out’ of receiving the information, but that for the third category you will only receive it if you ‘Opt In’.

WRUFC will not use (or pass to any third party) contact data on children under the age of 14 for any commercial mailing purposes.

Processing Your Data
If you choose to give us personal information to process an order or provide you with a subscription to a free service then this will be held and processed by the WRUFC in accordance with the GDPR Act 2016. The RFU may also need to transfer your personal information to its agents or sub-contractors who will process it on the RFU's behalf.

Providing you with information
WRUFC may use your personal information to supply you with information about the WRUFC and/or its related organisations, and new (unless you have indicated otherwise) services offered to the game, as well as their respective activities and ranges of goods, services and opportunities (and otherwise where you have given your consent).

WRUFC may also use your personal information for general statistical purposes. We also keep track of the domains from which users visit and analyse this data:

For trends and statistics and to evaluate the efficiency of our website and our internet infrastructure
To ensure that services offered (such as, but not limited to, chat and forums) are not abused
We may also use your information for detection of fraud and market research purposes.

Business relationships
WRUFC website contains links to other websites. WRUFC is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites.

Cookies
Information may be sent to your computer in the form of an Internet "cookie" to allow the PITCHERO servers to monitor your requirements. The cookie is stored on your computer. The PITCHERO server may request that your computer return a cookie to it.

These return cookies do not contain any information supplied by you or any personally identifiable information about you.

Such measures are necessary to allow the PITCHERO to measure the usability of the systems, which will help to continually improve user experience of our websites.

Your browser software should however enable you to block cookies if you wish to. For more information about cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

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 direct marketing without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests.

You can do this by following the instructions 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 or the RFU?” section.

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.
You have the same rights for data held by the RFU for its own purposes on GMS.
To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us– or, as appropriate, the RFU 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.

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.
Where we process personal data in connection with performing a contract or for a competition, we keep the data for 6 years from your last interaction with us.
