How we protect your personal data

The Club Membership Secretary will process membership information electronically and hold all information on a database on the cloud. Backup copies of this information will be held by the Club Secretary and Club Treasurer. Paper copies of data will be held at the Club Membership Secretary’s house and secured in a locked filing cabinet. If it is necessary to transport data, it will be kept secure.

Coaches and instructors will also process and hold information pertaining to people under their instruction and necessary information will be made available to coaches and instructors only as required.

For any on–line payments which we take from members, probationers, visitors and guests we will use a recognised online secure payment system.

In the unlikely event of a breach of the security of data we will notify members promptly and we will never sell or pass on your personal data.

Request to see your personal information

If you wish to know what personal data the club holds please email the Club Membership Secretary(crpcmem@yahoo.co.uk) and he will respond within 14 days of the request (depending on availability).

Accuracy and retention of data

Each individual member is responsible for keeping the Club Membership Secretary informed of changes to their data (e.g. address/telephone number etc. and this is updated at least once a year at renewal and you are at that time authorising the club to hold such data on file.

The data are kept on file at the Club Membership Secretary’s house and on the Cloud.  The data will normally be kept for up to seven years. It may be kept for a longer period for reasons of legal and civil action or other ongoing case management. Name, address and length of membership will be kept for up to 30 years for management of historical insurance claims. Names and scores may be kept indefinitely for reason of historical significance – e.g. on trophies, plaques and other awards.

CCTV Images

CCTV is used to record activities on and around the ranges at the club in the interests of safety and crime prevention. All images are stored onsite in the armoury. The images/data are stored for ten days and then these are over written.

For these reasons the information processed may include visual images, personal appearance and behaviours. This information may be about club members, customers and offenders and suspected offenders, members of the public and those inside, entering or in the immediate vicinity of the area under surveillance. Where necessary or required this information is shared with the data subjects themselves, employees and agents, service providers, police forces, security organisations and persons making an enquiry.

Any complaints which rely on this about theft/bullying/abuse etc. must therefore be made within ten days of the incident otherwise the images will have been overwritten.
