How Is My Personal Data Used?
Under the GDPR, Blackpool & District Badminton Association and EasierThan must always have a lawful basis for using personal data.
All personal data collected, stored and published on this website is for the purposes of running and promoting Blackpool & District Badminton Association and it is the responsibility of Blackpool & District Badminton Association and its representatives to obtain consent for it to be used in this way.
With the exception of the following, all personal data held on this website may be made publicly available on the front-end via use of the various features of BaddersWeb:
- Login Details (For Admin Access)
- User Action Log (Audit Trail of Changes within Admin)
The remaining above details are used to provide access to and within the Admin area of this website and are accessible to specific representatives with specific roles involved in the running of Blackpool & District Badminton Association.
Publicly available personal data may be displayed in, but not limited to, Clubs pages, League Appearances, News items, association Coaching, History, Officers and Committees information, along with any of the downloads published within Documents and Downloads.
The following may also be used to analyse use of the Blackpool & District Badminton Association website:
- Anonymised Analytical Data including, IP Address, Web Browser (Type and Version), Operating System, Visited / Referring URLs
Neither Blackpool & District Badminton Association nor EasierThan use the personal data on this website for targeted advertising or marketing purposes, nor do they supply it to third parties to do so.
Currently, all communication, such as emails sent from this website are only ever related to use of this website or the running of Blackpool & District Badminton Association.
At a future date, should Blackpool & District Badminton Association or EasierThan begin supplying you with other information by email, SMS text message or post, it will be a service that you have opted-in to and may easily unsubscribe from or opt-out at any time using the technology in question.
You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam from Blackpool & District Badminton Association or EasierThan and they will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with their obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
How Long Is My Personal Data Kept?
As a record of the history of Blackpool & District Badminton Association, some data collected may be held and displayed indefinitely on this website. Such data might include appearances, news items and historic tables including cup winners or past presidents.
Data relating to positions within the association, most commonly contact data for officers, committee members, secretaries, club and team reps, will be held and displayed on this website for the length of time the person in question holds said position.
If you believe personal data on this website is out-of-date and should no longer be displayed, please contact the Data Protection Officer or relevant representative of Blackpool & District Badminton Association.
How and Where is My Personal Data Stored or Published?
In providing this website to Blackpool & District Badminton Association, EasierThan will only be storing or publishing your attached personal data on hosting services within the UK and European Union.
This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or to equivalent standards by law.
Is My Personal Data Secure?
The security of your personal data is important to EasierThan, and to protect your data, EasierThan take a number of measures, including the following:
- Hiding email addresses behind a button click to prevent harvesting by SpamBots.
- The addition of a "NOINDEX" meta tag to the Appearances pages to prevent Google indexing.
- Encouraging strong passwords.
- Encrypting the storing of said passwords in the database.
- Website and database design created to minimise the likelihood of unauthorised hacking.
- UK based hosting with an established, well-rated provider who regularly maintain their server software, anti-virus and firewall protection across mirrored data-centres.
Note however, as listed above (see How Is My Personal Data Used?) much of the personal data held is published publicly on this website. As such, EasierThan can accept no liability for its subsequent misuse by third parties and it is the responsibility of Blackpool & District Badminton Association and its representatives to obtain consent from yourself to publish it.
It is acknowledged by EasierThan that an SSL certificate providing secure access via "https" to the Admin area of this website would be beneficial, but the cost factor and development time involved would require additional funds be sought from Blackpool & District Badminton Association. It is hoped that with further take up of the BaddersWeb system, this feature will be added.
In reality, the weakest point of the Admin function is its user's own passwords and the security (or lack thereof) of their devices.
To that end, EasierThan advises all Blackpool & District Badminton Association representatives who use the Admin function of the following:
- Do not update the website from a public computer
- Always logout when you have finished
- Use a strong password that is difficult to guess
- Keep your password safe
- Ensure your anti-virus is up-to-date
Where a breach of security occurs through use of a valid password or already logged in device, the offending account can quickly be locked out by a Blackpool & District Badminton Association representative simply by changing the user's password or making them "Not Current".
In such circumstances, EasierThan will endeavour to assist where possible, but can accept no liability for any issues arising from the breach. It would be the responsibility of Blackpool & District Badminton Association to make members aware of any personal data concerns.
The BaddersWeb system has no access level that let's a user see another user's password.
Is My Personal Data Shared?
As detailed in How Is My Personal Data Used?, much of the personal data held on this website is published publicly on it.
This means that it is by default shared with the world, accessible to Google and other search engines to be indexed and searched upon and by anyone who accesses this website.
Neither EasierThan, nor Blackpool & District Badminton Association and its representatives share any of the non-public personal data for any purposes other than running and promoting Blackpool & District Badminton Association, unless detailed within any specific policies within the Documents and Downloads page of this website.
If any of your personal data is shared with a third party by Blackpool & District Badminton Association or its representatives, they will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, their obligations, and the third party's obligations under the law.
In some limited circumstances, EasierThan or Blackpool & District Badminton Association may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.
How Can I Control My Data?
It is the responsibility of Blackpool & District Badminton Association and its representatives to obtain consent for your personal data to be used, stored and published on this website for the purposes of running and promoting the association.
However, this does not affect your rights under the GDPR (see What Are My Rights?), whereby you can request that some or all of your personal data is not stored or published on this website or that specific personal data is removed or amended.
As detailed previously, publicly available personal data on this website may be displayed in, but not limited to, Clubs pages, League Appearances, News items, association Coaching, History, Officers and Committees information, along with any of the downloads published within Documents and Downloads.
If you wish to control any of your personal data on this website, please contact the Data Protection Officer or other key representative of Blackpool & District Badminton Association.
Your Right to Withhold Information
Under the GDPR you have the right to withold personal data entirely, but consideration needs to be given as to the impact on the running of Blackpool & District Badminton Association. For example, is it feasible to be an Officer or Committee member of the association without publishing contact details?
Likewise, In the instance of Appearances, the BaddersWeb system offers options for names to be displayed as: "Full Name", "Initial and Surname", "Surname Only", "Initials Only" or "Not Displayed". However, if every registered player opted for "Initials Only" or "Not Displayed", it would make somewhat of a nonsense of the facility.
How Can I Access My Personal Data?
As much of your personal data is displayed on the public facing element of this website, it is relatively easy to find using a Google search as follows:
Simply replace [Your Data] with your surname, phone number, street address or email, etc..
Note, as detailed in Is My Personal Data Secure?, Appearances pages might not be indexed and therefore won't show up in a search.
Subject Access Requests
If you want Blackpool & District Badminton Association to tell you what personal data is held about you, you can submit a Subject Access Request.
A Subject Access Request is a written request sent to the email or postal address of the Data Protection Officer or relevant representative of Blackpool & District Badminton Association.
There is not normally any charge for a Subject Access Request, but if your request is "manifestly unfounded or excessive" (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover Blackpool & District Badminton Association administrative costs in responding.
Blackpool & District Badminton Association will respond to your Subject Access Request as soon as possible, but given that personal data on this website may be displayed in, but not limited to, Clubs pages, League Appearances, News items, association Coaching, History, Officers and Committees information, along with any of the downloads published within Documents and Downloads, sufficient time should be allowed up to a maximum of three months from the date the request is made.
