Protection and storage of your personal information
Your personal information will predominantly be stored in electronic form in secure cloud based data centres located in the United Kingdom that may be owned by third parties. Your personal information may also be stored in paper form. All such information whether electronically or physically stored is kept secure using generally accepted standards of security (e.g. encryption).

Access to your personal information and your rights
You can request access to your personal information by contacting us using the details in section 1. We do not charge for such access, unless you make excessive or unfounded requests.
We want you to remain in control of your personal information. Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are summarised as follows:

  1. The right to be informed about the use of your personal information – this is what this Privacy notice does.
  2. Where your personal information is processed on the basis of consent, the right to withdraw that consent.
  3. The right to confirmation as to whether or not we are holding any of your personal information and, if we are, to obtain a copy of it;
  4. The right to have certain information provided to you in a portable electronic format.
  5. The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or has a significant effect on you.
  6. The right to have inaccurate information rectified.
  7. The right to object to your information being used for marketing or profiling, or on the basis of our or a third party’s legitimate interests.
  8. The right to restrict how your information is used; and
  9. The right to be forgotten, which allows you to have your information erased in certain circumstances.
    If you want to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details given in section 1. There are exceptions to the rights above and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there may be situations where we are unable to do so. We encourage you to look at the UK Information Commissioner’s Office website for detailed information about your privacy rights and our obligations as a controller of your personal information.
    If you are not happy with our response, or you believe that your data protection or privacy rights have been infringed, you should contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees data protection compliance in the UK. Details of how to do this can be found at www.ico.org.uk.
    Sharing your Information
    We do not sell, trade or rent your information, and will never disclose information about you (including information obtained from our dealings with you) to third parties, except:
  10. where we have a legal interest in a company;
  11. to fulfil your specific orders for a product or service or information in the event that third parties deliver the relevant product or service or information. For example, if you go on a holiday with us, the hotel needs to know who you are.
  12. where third parties administer part or all of the product or service;
  13. for testing purposes, and to maintain management information for business analysis.
    We may of course be obliged at law to pass on your information to the police or any other statutory or regulatory authority and in some cases, exemptions may apply under relevant data protection legislation, whereby we can legitimately release personal data e.g. to prevent or detect crime or in connection with legal proceedings.
    Subsequent to your purchase of a product or service, we may enter into an arrangement for that service to be provided by a new third party. If this happens, the terms and conditions of your contract with us will provide that you consent to the transfer and processing of personal and/or special category personal data to the new provider, subject to the requirements of the GDPR and associated legislation.
    If we provide information to a third party (either a provider of a product or service, or an external data processing agency such as a mailing house) or a company Sportsrooms has a legal interest in, we will exercise the strictest control over them contractually, requiring it and any of its agents and/or suppliers to:
    • maintain the security and confidentiality of the information and restrict access to those of its own employees
    • use the data for the agreed purpose only and prevent it being used for any other purpose by any other party
    • refrain from communicating with you other than concerning the product in question
    • return the data to us at the conclusion of any contract term, and destroy or delete any copies made of all or any part of the information unless copies are needed to be kept to comply with regulations
    • In addition, we will restrict the information disclosed to the absolute minimum necessary, for example, to provide the product or service
    Information sent outside the EEA/UK
    We provide products and services including holidays outside the EEA. Therefore, if you travel on such holidays the information you provide may occasionally be transferred outside the EEA.
    It is worth noting, however, that some non-EEA countries do not afford the same level of data security as the UK. We will always use every reasonable effort to ensure sufficient protections are in place to safeguard your personal information such as encryption and standard contractual clauses.

Data transfers
Except as set out in this Privacy Policy, we normally only store personal information within the United Kingdom. If one of our subcontractors (such as a payment processor) needs to transfer it outside of the United Kingdom, then we will take steps to ensure adequate levels of privacy protection, in line with UK data protection laws. These safeguards will usually be contractual (for example, in the case of our group companies in the United States and Australia) and/or the result of a decision of the Information Commissioner’s Office which allows the transfer .

PCI DSS Policy
For security purposes, Sportsrooms does not keep or hold your full debit or credit card data. We use established payment gateway providers to process payments. Our payment gateway providers adhere to a comprehensive set of requirements created by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council for ensuring the safe handling of sensitive customer debit and credit card data. Our payment gateway providers are Level 1 Service Providers and are compliant to PCI DSS Version 3.2 standard.

Changes to this policy
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a revised version on our Website or sending you an email or text prior to the effective date of any amendment (which will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy). If you continue to use our Website, our Sportsrooms services, following the effective date of any amendment, then you will be deemed to have read and understood the amendment to this Privacy Policy.
