What do we do with your data?

RFU Registration Forms

  • The data is entered on the RFU Game Management System (GMS) on-line by the Club Registration Officer
  • The RFU Registration number is passed to the relevant coach; this number is unique to the member and maintained for life
  • The forms are held for one month and then destroyed
  • The GMS is a secure database and the data is used as required by the RFU to conduct its business and pursue its legitimate interests as outlined in Appendix 1
  • A limited number of officers of SRUFC have access to the GMS and access is restricted to required data only (Appendix 1)
  • SRUFC officials can only access data on Sittingbourne members, not other Clubs, and other Clubs cannot access data on members of SRUFC
  • SRUFC uses the GMS for such matters as: checking players are in the correct age group; accessing RFU numbers and dates of birth for competitions; confirming coaching and DBS qualifications; providing anonymised data on such statistics as schools attended, ethnic profile

DBS Forms

  • Data from the forms is submitted to the DBS on-line by the Club Safeguarding Officer
  • The forms are destroyed once the application has been approved and appears on the GMS
  • SRUFC has no further access to this data

Annual Membership Forms

  • Membership forms are sent to the Treasurer to confirm payment of subscriptions
  • An electronic copy is made and retained securely by the Treasurer and Secretary in password-protected files
  • The form is passed to the relevant coach who keeps it securely for the playing season after which it is destroyed
  • Any Standing Order form with bank account details should be sent direct to their bank by the member; in the event that it is sent to the Treasurer it is passed direct to the bank and no copy is kept; SRUFC holds no financial details of any member
  • The coach uses the contact data to communicate with players/parents/guardians
  • It is vital that the coach has access to data on any medical condition relevant to the playing of rugby, particularly if the emergency services are called; for youth players the coach also requires the parental permission given on the form in the event he/she has to accompany the player to hospital; it has been reported that in some cases hospitals only accept the original form
  • The Club Communications Officer maintains a password-protected database of contact details only for communicating with the members

Websites

  • The Club website (https://medwayimprint.co.uk) displays contact details (phone, email) of officials and coaches only with their express permission; no other personal data is held and no analytics are used

How do we share your data?

  • SRUFC does not share any of this data with any other organisation
  • The GMS has an opt-in for sending marketing information to members and this is not confirmed unless requested by the member on the Registration form
