Other uses of your personal information

We may ask you if we can process your personal information for additional purposes. Where we do so, we will provide you with an additional privacy notice with information on how we will use your information for these additional purposes.

If your personal information is included in any images or videos taken by us at our competitions and events, we may share this with SASA, members of the Scottish media, sponsors, Sportscotland and Sports Partners (including Scottish Leisure Trusts, Scottish Local Authorities, Swimming Clubs, Scottish Disability Sport, Scottish Universities) for promotional and/or journalistic purposes.

We may be required to share personal information with statutory or regulatory authorities and organisations to comply with statutory obligations. Such organisations include the Health & Safety Executive, Disclosure Scotland, and Police Scotland for the purposes of safeguarding children.

We may also share personal information with our professional and legal advisors for the purposes of taking advice.

As an affiliated club of SASA we are required to ensure that all of our members are members of SASA as a condition of affiliation. We will share your name and membership number and category with SASA who will become a “controller” of your personal information when they receive it.  SASA’s privacy notice explains how they use your personal information and can be accessed here http://www.scottishswimming.com/membership/data-protection

In the event that we do share personal information with external third parties, we will only share such personal information strictly required for the specific purposes and take reasonable steps to ensure that recipients shall only process the disclosed personal information in accordance with those purposes.

Scottish Swimming employs Azolve to administer our membership database, as part of which Azolve contracts third party payment providers to process our payments on their behalf. Azolve and its payment providers process our members’ personal information on our behalf as “processors” and are subject to written contractual conditions to only process that personal information under our instructions and protect it.

For members who are attending UKCC courses run by Scottish Swimming, they use a platform called Onefile to administer the courses. The Onefile system holds basic personal details (name, email, date of birth) and processes learners’ personal information on our behalf as “processors” and are subject to written contractual conditions to only process that personal information under our instructions and protect it.

How we protect your personal information

Your personal information is stored on SASA’s electronic filing system and their servers based in Europe, and is accessed by SASA staff and our volunteers for the purposes set out above. A volunteer will also keep a hard copy of contact telephone numbers on Poolside in case of any emergencies arising during a session.

How long we keep your personal information

We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with membership services. Unless you ask us not to, we will review and possibly delete your personal information where you have not renewed your membership with us for six years.

We will keep certain personal information of members for longer in order to confirm your identity, when you were a member of Fife Synchronised Swimming Club and for how long. We need to do this to comply with the Companies Act 2006, which requires us to keep a register of members in the event of a claim against Fie Synchronised Swimming Club.
