We provide the opportunity for our members to participate in our activities, which include recreational classes, training, camps, competitions, squads and other similar gymnastics activities. 

We register with British Gymnastics who govern the sport, provides membership benefits for  clubs and individual members and offers competitions and events.

Cambourne Comets Trampoline and DMT Club also affiliates to ECGA (Eastern Counties Gymnastics  Association) who runs competitions and events in which we may participate.

OUR PURPOSES FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

The club needs to process data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. It also needs to process your data to enter into a contract with you.

In some cases, the club needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts.

The club has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows the organisation to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job. The organisation may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.

Cambourne Comets Trampoline and DMT Club relies on legitimate interests as a reason for processing data, and has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of employees or workers and has concluded that they are not.

The club processes health information if it needs to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for candidates who have a disability. This is to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment. Where the club processes other special categories of data, such as information about ethnic origin, sexual orientation, health or religion or belief, this is for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.

For some roles, the club is obliged to seek information about criminal convictions and offences. Where the club seeks this information, it does so because it is necessary for it to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.

The club will not use your data for any purpose other than the recruitment exercise for which you have applied.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO DATA?

Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. This includes relevant staff/volunteers, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles.

The club will not share your data with third parties, unless your application for employment is successful and it makes you an offer of employment.

TRANSFERS OF DATA OUT OF THE UK

We will not transfer or store your personal data outside the UK. 

HOW DOES THE CLUB PROTECT DATA?

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine reason to need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will inform you and the ICO of any personal data breaches in line with our legal obligations.

FOR HOW LONG DOES THE CLUB KEEP DATA?

If your application for employment is unsuccessful, the club will hold your data on file for six months after the end of the relevant recruitment process. If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and retained during your employment.

WHY WE SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
