Uses of information

​

For some of your personal information you will have a legal, contractual or other requirement or obligation for you to provide us with your personal information. If you do not provide us with the requested personal information we may not be able to admit you as a member or we may not be able to properly perform our contract with you or comply with legal obligations and we may have to terminate your membership. For other personal information you may not be under an obligation to provide it to us, but if you do not provide it then we may not be able to properly perform our contract with you.

 

Where you have given us your consent to use your personal information in a particular manner, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, which you may do by contacting us as described in the "Contacting us" section below.

 

Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal information to the extent that we are entitled to do so on bases other than your consent. Withdrawing consent may also have the same effects as not providing the information in the first place, for example we may no longer be able to provide certain member benefits to you.

​

DIRECT MARKETING

 

Email, post and SMS marketing: from time to time, we may contact you by email (or post) with information about events, products and services we believe you may be interested in.

You can then let us know at any time that you do not wish to receive marketing messages by emailing secretary@blackpoolsupporterstrust.com or write to us at Blackpool Supporters Trust, Flat 2 1 St Annes Road East, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, FY8 1TA.

Disclosure of your PERSONAL information

We do not share personal information with any external parties.

 

TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION INTERNATIONALLY

 

The personal information we collect is not transferred or stored outside of the UK.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

​

The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long-term basis: for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements. Generally, where there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of 6 years after your last contact with us or the end of your membership. The exception to this rule is:

Details regarding unsuccessful membership applicants where we hold records for a period of not more than 12 months

It is important to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date, and you should let us know if anything changes, for example if you change your phone number or email address. You may be able to update some of the personal information we hold about you directly through the membership portal on our website: http://www.blackpoolsupporterstrust.com/Site/MemberLogin.aspx Alternatively, you can contact us by using the details set out in the "Contacting us" section below.

 

YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

​

You have the following rights in relation to your personal information:

• the right to be informed about how your personal information is being used;

   

• the right to access the personal information we hold about you;

   

• the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you;

   

• the right to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited circumstances;

   

• the right to restrict processing of your personal information where certain requirements are met;

   

• the right to object to the processing of your personal information;

   

• the right to request that we transfer elements of your data either to you or another service provider; and

   

• the right to object to certain automated decision-making processes using your personal information.

   

You should note that some of these rights, for example the right to require us to transfer your data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision making, may not apply as they have specific requirements and exemptions which apply to them and they may not apply to personal information recorded and stored by us. For example, we do not use automated decision making in relation to your personal data. However, some have no conditions attached, so your right to withdraw consent or object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.

 

Whilst this privacy notice sets out a general summary of your legal rights in respect of personal information, this is a very complex area of law. More information about your legal rights can be found on the Information Commissioners website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/.

To exercise any of the above rights, or if you have any questions relating to your rights, please contact us by using the details set out in the "Contacting us" section below.

If you are unhappy with the way we are using your personal information you can also complain to the UK Information Commissioners Office or your local data protection regulator. We are here to help and encourage you to contact us to resolve your complaint first.
