BHHHC PRIVACY STATEMENT
This policy describes how we process the personal information of our Club members in line with GDPR regulations and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What personal information we hold
• You provide us with personal information as part of the online membership registration process. This information included your name, address, DOB (for Under 18s); we also capture ‘special category data’ on health/emergency contact details, ethnicity and disability data. • The registration process invites you to opt-in to whether you would like us to communicate with you regarding Club business. • For BHHHC Tigers, parents provide details of their child(ren) on a paper form, processed and held by our Tigers Co-ordinator. This information is not shared more widely. Part of this form seeks your consent in relation to the use of images of your child.
How the information is stored
Members’ details are held on our Club database: the data is refreshed annually as part of the renewal process, so we will not hold out of data information about you. The information is held locally, not hosted by a 3rd party, and is used by a limited number of Club officials via an https link with password protected worksheet.
• Tigers records are held on paper, kept by our Tigers Co-ordinator.

It is a condition of membership that all members agree to comply with Club's Constitution (as amended from time to time). The Constitution includes the Articles of Association, the Club Rules and all current policies adopted by the Club.

Membership is subject to full payment of the subscription fee for the relevant membership category and the approval of the Club. In the unlikely event that membership is refused the Club will notify the applicant within within 14 working days.

Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead Hockey Club Limited is a Company Limited by Guarantee so fully paid up adult members are guarantors of the Club while they are a member and for one year after their membership ends. This guarantee is limited to £1 and only comes into effect if the Club is wound up.

It is the responsibility of a member to only participate in hockey (or any other activity arranged by the Club) if they are physically fit enough to do so. This is the case whether or not the member has informed the Club about any medical or other condition that may need special action in the case of an emergency.
