collected for only specified, explicit and legitimate purposes; 

adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is processed;

accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;

kept in a form which permits identification of individuals for no longer than is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is processed;

We are responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with the data protection principles listed above.

Fair and lawful processing

This Policy aims to ensure that our data processing is done fairly and without adversely affecting the rights of the individual.

Lawful processing means data must be processed on one of the legal bases set out in the GDPR. When special category personal data is being processed, additional conditions must be met. 

Processing for limited purposes

Ashton United Football Club collects and processes personal data. This is data we receive directly from an individual and data we may receive from other sources.

We will only process personal data for the purposes of Ashton United Football Club as instructed by the committee, Football League, the County FA or The FA, or as specifically permitted by the GDPR. We will let individuals know what those purposes are when we first collect the data or as soon as possible thereafter.

Consent

One of the lawful bases on which we may be processing data is the individual’s consent.

An individual consents to us processing their personal data if they clearly indicate specific and informed agreement, either by a statement or positive action. 

Individuals must be easily able to withdraw their consent at any time and withdrawal must be promptly honoured. Consents should be refreshed every season. 

Explicit consent is usually required for automated decision-making and for cross-border data transfers, and for processing special category personal data. Where children are involved then the consent must be in writing from parent/guardian

Where consent is our legal basis for processing, we will need to keep records of when and how this consent was captured.

Our Privacy Notice sets out the lawful bases on which we process data of our players and members.

Notifying individuals

Where we collect personal data directly from individuals, we will inform them about:

the purpose(s) for which we intend to process that personal data;

the legal basis on which we are processing that personal data;

where that legal basis is a legitimate interest, what that legitimate interest is;

where that legal basis is statutory or contractual, any possible consequences of failing to provide that personal data;

the types of third parties, if any, with which we will share that personal data, including any international data transfers;

their rights as data subjects, and how they can limit our use of their personal data;

the period for which data will be stored and how that period is determined;

any automated decision-making processing of that data and whether the data may be used for any further processing, and what that further processing is.

If we receive personal data about an individual from other sources, we will provide the above information as soon as possible and let them know the source we received their personal data from;

We will also inform those whose personal data we process that we, Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League, are the data controller in regard to that data, and which individual(s) in Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League are responsible for data protection.

Adequate, relevant and non-excessive processing

We will only collect personal data that is required for the specific purpose notified to the individual.

You may only process personal data if required to do so in your official capacity with Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League. You cannot process personal data for any reason unrelated to your duties.

Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League must ensure that when personal data is no longer needed for specified purposes, it is deleted or anonymised.

Accurate data

We will ensure that personal data we hold is accurate and kept up to date. We will check the accuracy of any personal data at the point of collection and at the start of each season. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or out-of-date data. 

Timely processing

We will not keep personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose(s) for which they were collected. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or delete data which is no longer required, as per our Privacy Notice.

Processing in line with data subjects’ rights

As data subjects, all individuals have the right to:

be informed of what personal data is being processed;

request access to any data held about them by a data controller;

object to processing of their data for direct-marketing purposes (including profiling);

not be subject to a decision which is based on automated processing.

Ashton United is aware that not all individuals’ rights are absolute, and any requests regarding the above should be immediately reported to the committee, and if applicable escalated to the Manchester FA / FA for guidance. 

Data security

We will take appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data.

We have proportionate procedures and technology to maintain the security of all personal data. 

Personal data will only be transferred to another party to process on our behalf (a data processor) where we have a GDPR-compliant written contract in place with that data processor.

We will maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data.

Our security procedures include:

Entry controls. Any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas should be reported.

Secure desks, cabinets and cupboards. Desks and cupboards should be locked if they hold personal data.

Methods of disposal. Paper documents should be shredded. Digital storage devices should be physically destroyed.

Equipment. Screens and monitors must not show personal data to passers-by, and should be locked when unattended. Excel spreadsheets will be password protected.

Personal Devices. Anyone accessing or processing Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League’s personal data on their own device, must have and operate a password only access or similar lock function, and should have appropriate anti-virus protection. These devices must have Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League’s personal data removed prior to being replaced by a new device or prior to such individual ceasing to work with or support Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League. Disclosure and sharing of personal information

We share personal data with Manchester FA & The FA, and with applicable leagues using Whole Game System.

We may share personal data with third parties or suppliers for the services they provide, and instruct them to process our personal data on our behalf as data processors. Where we share data with third parties, we will ensure we have a compliant written contract in place incorporating the minimum data processer terms as set out in the GDPR, which may be in the form of a supplier’s terms of service.

We may share personal data we hold if we are under a duty to disclose or share an individual’s personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply any contract with the individual or other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety of our employees, players, other individuals associated with the Ashton United / Manchester FA / Football League or others. 

Transferring personal data to a country outside the EEA

We may transfer any personal data we hold to a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), provided that one of the appropriate safeguards applies.

Reporting a personal data breach

In the case of a breach of personal data, we may need to notify the applicable regulatory body and the individual. 

If you know or suspect that a personal data breach has occurred, inform a member of the committee immediately, who may need to escalate to the Manchester FA / FA as appropriate. You should preserve all evidence relating to a potential personal data breach. 

Dealing with subject access requests

Individuals may make a formal request for information we hold about them. Anyone who receives such a request should forward it to the board/committee immediately, and where necessary escalated to the Manchester FA / FA for guidance. Nobody should feel bullied or pressured into disclosing personal information.
