We will not collect from you emergency contact information, unless you wish to supply this information for possible use while you are engaged in activities with or on behalf of Stafford Harriers.

Changes to your personal details can be notified to the club at any time at membership@staffordharriers.co.uk and those changes will be recorded on the club membership file.

Section 2: Why we ask you to provide personal data

Our lawful basis for processing your personal data is that we have a contractual obligation to you as a member to provide the services you are registering for. Any data that we collect is for a number of purposes:

  • To administer your membership of Stafford Harriers including the processing of membership forms and payments

This information will be stored for 52 weeks after an event and then destroyed securely. Our lawful basis for processing data is consent.
