Privacy Policy

This policy covers the use of personal information that Micklefield Judo Club collects when you use this website. Micklefield Judo Club is privacy conscious and is committed to your right to privacy. Our privacy policy follows guidelines set out in the Data Protection Act 1998. 

The Data Protection Act 1998 set rules for processing personal information and applies to structured paper records as well as data held on computers. With the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which came into force on 1 January 2005, the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 will apply to all records, including those structured other than by reference to the data subject, and completely unstructured files. 

The Data Protection Act states that those who record and process personal information must be open about how the information is used and must follow the eight principles of 'good information handling'.

These principles state that data must be: 

Fairly and lawfully processed 
Processed for limited purposes 
Adequate, relevant and not excessive 
Accurate 
Not kept for longer than is necessary 
Processed in line with your rights 
Secure 
Not transferred to countries without adequate protection.
By law, data controllers have to keep to these principles. If you believe in any way that Micklefield Judo Club is not processing your personal data in accordance with these principles, please contact us.

You may be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive or use services on our website. Such services include newsletters and information. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. When using your personal information we will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.

We will use your contact details to communicate with you. We may contact you by post, email, telephone or fax for these purposes. In general, any information you provide will only be used within Micklefield Judo Club. We do not collect or compile personally identifying information for dissemination or sale to external parties for marketing purposes or host mailings on behalf of third parties.

We only disclose information to third parties if explicitly required to do so by United Kingdom Law. If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content we can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met. 

If you have any requests concerning your personal information or any queries with regard to our processing please contact us.
