K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB is responsible for keeping a written record of all the data processing activities. K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB are responsible for compliance with each of the Principles. This must be kept up to date and must be approved by the GDPR Advisor.

To comply with data protection laws and the accountability and transparency Principle of GDPR, we must demonstrate compliance. K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB are responsible for understanding the responsibilities to ensure we meet the following data protection obligations:

Our procedures

Fair and lawful processing

We must process personal data fairly and lawfully in accordance with individuals’ rights under the first Principle. This generally means that we should not process personal data unless the individual whose details we are processing has consented to this happening.

If we cannot apply a lawful basis (explained below), our processing does not conform to the first principle and will be unlawful. Data subjects have the right to have any data unlawfully processed erased

Controlling vs. processing data

K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB is classified as a data controller. We must maintain our appropriate registration with the Information Commissioners Office to continue lawfully controlling data.

If you are in any doubt about how we handle data, contact the GDPR Advisor for clarification.
Lawful basis for processing data

We must establish a lawful basis for processing data. Any data we are responsible for managing has a written lawful basis approved by the GDPR Advisor. It is our responsibility to check the lawful basis for any data we are working with and ensure all of our actions comply the lawful basis. At least one of the following conditions must apply whenever we process personal data:

• Consent
o We hold recent, clear, explicit, and defined consent for the individual’s data to be processed for a specific purpose
• Usership
o The processing is necessary to fulfil a usership for the individual.
• Legal obligation
o We have a legal obligation to process the data
• Vital interests
o Processing the data is necessary to protect a person’s life or in a medical situation
• Public function
o Processing necessary to carry out a public function, a task of public interest or the function has a clear basis in law

• Legitimate interest
o The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests. This condition does not apply if there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides the legitimate interest.

Special categories of personal data

What are special categories of personal data?

Previously known as sensitive personal data, this means data about an individual which is more sensitive, so requires more protection. This type of data could create more significant risks to a person’s fundamental rights and freedoms, for example by putting them at risk of unlawful discrimination. The special categories include information about an individual’s:

race
ethnic origin
politics
religion
genetics
health
sexual orientation

In most cases where we process special categories of personal data, we will require the data subject's explicit consent to do this unless exceptional circumstances apply, or we are required to do this by law (e.g. to comply with legal obligations to ensure health and safety). Any such consent will need to clearly identify what the relevant data is, why it is being processed and to whom it will be disclosed.

The condition for processing special categories of personal data must comply with the law. If we do not have a lawful basis for processing special categories of data that processing activity will not take place.

Responsibilities

• Analysing and documenting the type of personal data we hold
• Checking procedures to ensure they cover all the rights of the individual
• Identify the lawful basis for processing data
• Ensuring consent procedures are lawful
• Implementing and reviewing procedures to detect, report and investigate personal data breaches
• Store data in safe and secure ways
• Assess the risk that could be posed to individual rights and freedoms should data be compromised
• Fully understand data protection obligations
• Check that any data processing activities we are dealing with comply with our policy and are justified
• Do not use data in any unlawful way
• Do not store data incorrectly, be careless with it or otherwise cause us to breach data protection laws and our policies through your actions
• Comply with this policy always
• Raise any concerns, notify any breaches or errors, and report anything suspicious or contradictory to this policy or our legal obligations without delay

Responsibilities of the Data Protection Advisor

• Remaining up to date about data protection responsibilities, risks and issues
• Reviewing all data protection procedures and policies on a regular basis
• Arranging data protection training and advice for all Advisors and those included in this policy
• Answering questions on data protection from users and other stakeholders
• Responding to individuals who wish to know which data is being held on them by us
• Checking and approving with third parties that handle data regarding data processing
• Ensure all systems, services, software and equipment meet acceptable security standards
• Researching third-party services, such as cloud services being using to store or process data
• Approving data protection statements attached to emails and other marketing copy
• Addressing data protection queries from target audiences or media outlets
• Coordinating with the GDPR Advisor to ensure all marketing initiatives adhere to data protection laws and the company’s Data Protection Policy

Accuracy and relevance

We will ensure that any personal data we process is accurate, adequate, relevant and not excessive, given the purpose for which it was obtained. We will not process personal data obtained for one purpose for any unconnected purpose unless the individual concerned has agreed to this or would otherwise reasonably expect this.

Individuals may ask that we correct inaccurate personal data relating to them. If you believe that information is inaccurate you should record the fact that the accuracy of the information is disputed and inform the GDPR Advisor.

Data security

K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB must keep personal data secure against loss or misuse. Where other organisations process personal data as a service on our behalf, the GDPR Advisor will establish what, if any, additional specific data security arrangements need to be implemented in contracts with those third party organisations.

Storing data securely

• In cases when data is stored on printed paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised personnel cannot access it
• Printed data should be shredded when it is no longer needed
• Data stored on a computer should be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly
• Data stored on CDs or memory sticks must be encrypted or password protected and locked away securely when they are not being used
• The GDPR Advisor must approve any cloud used to store data
• Servers containing personal data must be kept in a secure location
• Data should be regularly backed up
• Data should never be saved directly to mobile devices such as laptops, tablets or smartphones
• All servers containing sensitive data must be approved and protected by security software
• All possible technical measures must be put in place to keep data secure

Data retention

We must retain personal data for no longer than is necessary. What is necessary will depend on the circumstances of each case, considering the reasons that the personal data was obtained, but should be determined in a manner consistent with our data retention guidelines.

Transferring data internationally

There are restrictions on international transfers of personal data. K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB must not transfer personal data abroad, or anywhere else outside of normal rules and procedures without express permission from the GDPR Advisor.

o Individuals retain their right to object to such automated processing, have the rationale explained to them, and request human intervention.

Privacy notices

• When to supply a privacy notice
o A privacy notice must be supplied at the time the data is obtained if obtained directly from the data subject. If the data is not obtained directly from the data subject, the privacy notice must be provided within a reasonable period of having obtained the data, which mean within one month.
o If the data is being used to communicate with the individual, then the privacy notice must be supplied at the latest when the first communication takes place.
o If disclosure to another recipient is envisaged, then the privacy notice must be supplied prior to the data being disclosed.
• What to include in a privacy notice
o Privacy notices must be concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible. They are provided free of charge and must be written in clear and plain language, particularly if aimed at children
• The following information must be included in a privacy notice to all data subjects:

o The purpose of processing the data and the lawful basis for doing so
o The legitimate interests of the controller or third party, if applicable
o The right to withdraw consent at any time, if applicable

o Whether the provision of personal data is part of a statutory of contractual requirement or obligation and possible consequences for any failure to provide the data (only for data obtained directly from the data subject)
o Subject Access Requests

What is a subject access request?

An individual has the right to receive confirmation that their data is being processed, access to their personal data and supplementary information which means the information which should be provided in a privacy notice.

How we deal with subject access requests

We must provide an individual with a copy of the information request, free of charge. This must occur without delay, and within one month of receipt. We endeavour to provide data subjects access to their information in commonly used electronic formats, and where possible, provide direct access to the information through a remote accessed secure system.

If complying with the request is complex or numerous, the deadline can be extended by two months, but the individual must be informed within one month. Approval is required from the GDPR Advisor before extending the deadline.

We can refuse to respond to certain requests, and can, in circumstances of the request being manifestly unfounded or excessive, charge a fee. If the request is for a large quantity of data, we can request the individual specify the information they are requesting. This can only be done with express permission from the GDPR Advisor.

Once a subject access request has been made, we must not change or amend any of the data that has been requested. Doing so is a criminal offence.

Data portability requests

We must provide the data requested in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. This would normally be a CSV file, although other formats are acceptable. We must provide this data either to the individual who has requested it, or to the data controller they have requested it be sent to. This must be done free of charge and without delay, and no later than one month. This can be extended to two months for complex or numerous requests, but the individual must be informed of the extension within one month and you must receive express permission from the GDPR Advisor first.

Right to erasure

What is the right to erasure?

Individuals have a right to have their data erased and for processing to cease in the following circumstances:

• Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected and / or processed
• Where consent is withdrawn
• Where the individual objects to processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing
• The personal data was unlawfully processed or otherwise breached data protection laws
• To comply with a legal obligation
• The processing relates to a child

How we deal with the right to erasure

We can only refuse to comply with a right to erasure in the following circumstances:
• To exercise the right of freedom of expression and information
• To comply with a legal obligation for the performance of a public interest task or exercise of official authority
• For public health purposes in the public interest
• For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research, historical research or statistical purposes
• The exercise or defence of legal claims

If personal data that needs to be erased has been passed onto other parties or recipients, they must be contacted and informed of their obligation to erase the data. If the individual asks, we must inform them of those recipients.

The right to object

Individuals have the right to object to their data being used on grounds relating to their situation. We must cease processing unless:

• We have legitimate grounds for processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the individual.
• The processing relates to the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• We must always inform the individual of their right to object at the first point of communication, i.e. in the privacy notice. We must offer a way for individuals to object online.
• The right to restrict automated profiling or decision making
• We may only carry out automated profiling or decision making that has a legal or similarly significant effect on an individual in the following circumstances:
• It is necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract.
• Based on the individual’s explicit consent.
• Otherwise authorised by law.

In these circumstances, we must:

• Give individuals detailed information about the automated processing.
• Offer simple ways for them to request human intervention or challenge any decision about them.
• Carry out regular checks and user testing to ensure our systems are working as intended.
• Third parties
• Using third party controllers and processors

As a data controller, we must have written contracts in place with any third party data processors that we use. The contract must contain specific clauses which set out our and their liabilities, obligations and responsibilities.

As a data controller, we must only appoint processors who can provide sufficient guarantees under GDPR and that the rights of data subjects will be respected and protected.

Contracts

Our contracts must comply with the standards set out by the ICO and, where possible, follow the standard contractual clauses which are available. Our contracts with data processors must set out the subject matter and duration of the processing, the nature and stated purpose of the processing activities, the types of personal data and categories of data subject, and the obligations and rights of the controller.

At a minimum, our contracts must include terms that specify:

• Acting only on written instructions
• Those involved in processing the data are subject to a duty of confidence
• Appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the security of the processing
• Sub-processors will only be engaged with the prior consent of the controller and under a written contract
• The controller will assist the processor in dealing with subject access requests and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under GDPR
• The processor will assist the controller in meeting its GDPR obligations in relation to the security of processing, notification of data breaches and implementation of Data Protection Impact Assessments
• Delete or return all personal data at the end of the contract
• Submit to regular audits and inspections, and provide whatever information necessary for the controller and processor to meet their legal obligations.
• Nothing will be done by either the controller or processor to infringe on GDPR.
• Criminal offence data
• Criminal record checks

Any criminal record checks are justified by law. Criminal record checks cannot be undertaken based solely on the consent of the subject. We cannot keep a comprehensive register of criminal offence data. All data relating to criminal offences is a special category of personal data and must be treated as such. Approval from the GDPR Advisor and Welfare Advisor is required prior to carrying out a criminal record check.

Audits, monitoring and training

Data audits

Regular data audits to manage and mitigate risks will inform the data register. This contains information on what data is held, where it is stored, how it is used, who is responsible and any further regulations or retention timescales that may be relevant. K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB will conduct a regular data audit as defined by the GDPR Advisor and normal procedures.

Monitoring

Everyone must observe this policy. The GDPR Advisor has overall responsibility for this policy. K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB will keep this policy under review and amend or change it as required. You must notify the GDPR Advisor of any breaches of this policy. You must comply with this policy.

Training

You will receive adequate training on provisions of data protection law specific for your role. You must complete all training as requested. If you move role or responsibilities, you are responsible for requesting new data protection training relevant to your new role or responsibilities.

If you require additional training on data protection matters, contact the GDPR Advisor.

Reporting breaches

Any breach of this policy or of data protection laws must be reported as soon as practically possible. This means as soon as you have become aware of a breach. K SPORTS HOCKEY CLUB has a legal obligation to report any data breaches to ICO within 72 hours.

All users have an obligation to report actual or potential data protection compliance failures. This allows us to:

• Investigate the failure and take remedial steps if necessary
• Maintain a register of compliance failures
• Notify the ICO of any compliance failures that are material either in their own right or as part of a pattern of failures

Any member who fails to notify an Official or GDPR Advisor of a breach, or is found to have known or suspected a breach has occurred but has not followed the correct reporting procedures may be liable to further action or investigation, where deemed necessary.

Failure to comply

We take compliance with this policy very seriously. Failure to comply puts both you and the organisation at risk. The importance of this policy means that failure to comply with any requirement may lead to disciplinary action under our procedures which may result in dismissal.

If you have any questions or concerns about anything in this policy, do not hesitate to contact the GDPR Advisor.
