This includes probationary members, visitors and guests. We will collect, use, and store personal data, as described in this Data Protection Policy when people engage in activities at The Club. Normally this will be through some level of membership.

 

We reserve the right to amend this Data Protection Policy from time to time without prior notice. You are advised to check our Club notice board regularly for amendments at www.targetshooters.org/privacypolicy. We will only share your personal data with any third parties as outlined below.

 

We will always comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when dealing with your personal data. Further details on the GDPR can be found at the website for the Information Commissioner (www.ico.gov.uk).

 

Responsible person

For the purposes of the GDPR, The Club Secretary will be the “controller” of all personal data we hold about club members and others. The Data Security Officer is responsible for making sure the club complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which applies from 25 May 2018. We will review personal data every year to establish whether we are still obliged to process it or not.

How we protect your personal data

The Data Controller will process membership information physically and electronically and hold all electronic information on the Membership Secretary’s computer and physical copies in a safe at the Membership Secretary’s house. Paper copies of data will be held at the Club Secretary’s address and secured by 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.

​

Committee Meeting Minutes may contain applicants’ names as their membership is processed, or some event happens that would warrant a mention in the meeting around that member. These minutes will be archived as a historical record of the club.

Shooting records are kept in a folder at The Club which is locked away in the armoury at the end of the evening. Electronic copies are also kept on The Club computer and Club Secretary’s computer as a backup.

​

Attendance records are kept electronically at The Club and a physical copy are also given to the Club Secretary as a backup with another copy going to the Club Treasurer as it also contains transaction information (membership fees paid, ammo sales, etc). The Club Treasurers copy is stored in a secured factory with monitored alarm system.

​

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 Data Security Officer at feasty@gmail.com and he/she will respond within 14 days of the request (depending on availability).

 

Accuracy and retention of data

Each individual member is responsible for keeping the 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 kept on file at the Club Secretary’s address. The data will be normally be kept for up to 7 years to comply with Home Office regulations. 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 the ranges at the club in the interests of safety, monitoring and training. All images are stored onsite in a locked cabinet. The images/data are stored for up to 2 months 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, visitors, members of the public and those inside, entering or in the immediate vicinity of the area under surveillance. Where necessary or required this information could be shared with the data subjects themselves, the committee and agents, service providers, police forces, security organisations and persons making an enquiry.

Any complaints which rely on these images must therefore be made within 2 months of the incident otherwise the images will have been overwritten.
