4.Who has access to the data we hold

Access to the information which you have provided will be limited to: Our staff who have a genuine business need to access it, so that we can provide our services to you.  Access to data is restricted to staff that need to have access for the specific purpose the personal data was collected for.

We may share your data with selected third parties. For example, we may share your information with:

  • Internet hosting providers to host the website, related infrastructure, services and applications
  • Service providers: for example payment processors, supply chain partners and subcontractors and IT services (including CRM)

5.How we store your data

The organisation regularly reviews its arrangements for physical and IT security, ensuring these remain aligned to GDPR and The Data Protection Act 2018 to continue to robustly safeguard personal data, protecting against its unauthorised access or misuse.

However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, can be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. The internet by its nature is a public forum, and South West Swimming School encourages you to use caution when disclosing information online.

Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try and prevent unauthorised access.

Personal data is processed mainly within the European Economic Area (EEA) which adheres to the same Data Protection laws, but may be stored outside the EEA with third parties which follow strict Data Protection guidelines.

  • To keep records required by law.

The organisation keeps a processing and retention record which gives our specific retention information for each category of data.
