Security and storage of your personal information

The Internet is not a 100% secure medium for communication and, accordingly, Club Website cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to Club Website via the Internet. Club Website is not responsible for any loss or damage you or others may suffer as a result of the loss of confidentiality of such information.

What information will Club Website collect about me?

When you participate in, access or sign up to any of the Club Website's services, activities or content, such as newsletters, competitions, message boards or telephone us, Club Website may receive personal information about you. This can include such information as your name, email address, postal address, telephone and/or mobile number and date of birth.

By submitting your details, you enable Club Website (and where applicable our contractors) to provide you with the services, activities or online content you select.

Club Website also uses cookies and collects IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet) from visitors.

Club Website also collects demographic information about you in order to identify additional areas of benefit to your Football Association, County FA, League or Club.

If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission before you provide any personal information to Club Website. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.

How will Club Website use the information it collects about me?

Club Website will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:

• to provide our services, activities or online content and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
• for "service administration purposes", which means that Club Website may contact you for reasons related to the service, activity or online content you have signed up for (e.g. to provide you with password reminders or to notify you that a particular service, activity or online content has been suspended for maintenance);
• to provide you with information about our services, activities or online content;
• to personalise the way Club Website's content is presented to you;
• to use IP addresses to identify the location of users and to block disruptive use;
• to analyse and improve the services offered by Club Website;
• to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience. Club Website may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes;
• when you access Club Website's services Club Website uses cookies to work out what advertising might be most relevant to you. This is a practice widely used by other major web publishers and is known as "onsite behavioural targeting". The tracking system is anonymised and therefore it does not "know who you are": it simply uses the limited information available to it to serve ads to you. To find out more about Club Website's behavioural targeting system please see Club Website's Cookies Policy; and
• to send you information we think you would be interested in, about other products and services, from Club Website, or on behalf of other third parties, by, email, sms, voice, post or other appropriate means.

Where Club Website proposes using your personal information for any other purpose, apart from the above uses, we will ensure that they notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for the use of your personal information for purposes other than those listed above.

Club Website will not use or share your personal information in a manner that differs from what is described within this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of the website.

When will Club Website use my details to contact me?

Club Website may contact you:

• in relation to any Club Website service, activity or online content you have signed up for in order to ensure that we can deliver the services to you;
• in relation to any correspondence Club Website receive from you or any comment or complaint you make about Club Website's products or services;
• in relation to any contribution you have submitted to Club Website, e.g. on Club Website message boards, newsletters or via text or voicemail message;
• to invite you to participate in surveys about Club Websites services (participation is always voluntary); and
• for marketing purposes (as stated above in "How will Club Website use the information it collects about me?")

Additionally, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on, or to, Club Website or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on any Club Website service, Club Website may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.

Where Club Website reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any applicable laws (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), Club Website may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school email/Internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

Will Club Website share my personal information with anyone else?

Club Website will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law. Generally, we will only use your information within Club Website. However, sometimes Club Website uses third parties to process your information on our behalf. Club Website requires these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions and Club Website requires that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes, unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in this way.
