YOUR RIGHTS

You are entitled to request the following from the Club, these are called your Data Subject Rights and there is more information on these on the Information Commissioners website www.ico.org.uk

​

  • THE RIGHT TO BE INFORMED – The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used and processed (as described in this policy).

  • RIGHT OF ACCESS – The right to access the personal information we hold about you.

  • RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION – The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you and to have incomplete personal information completed

  • THE RIGHT TO ERASURE (also known as the Right to be Forgotten) - The right to request that we delete your data, or stop processing it or collecting it, in some circumstances.

  • RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING – to restrict processing of your personal information.

  • RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY - to electronically move, copy or transfer your personal information in a standard form, or port elements of your data either to you or another service provider.

  • RIGHT TO OBJECT – The right to object to processing of your personal information

  • THE RIGHT TO STOP DIRECT MARKETING messages, and to withdraw consent for other consent-based processing at any time.

  • THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN to your data protection regulator - in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office. We encourage you to contact us before making any complaint and we will seek to resolve any issues or concerns you may have. You can find out more information about the ICO at https://ico.org.uk/

​

If you have any general questions about your rights or if you want to exercise your rights or have a complaint, please contact us at info@cainhoewoodgolf.co.uk

​

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

​

We will generally aim to respond to any requests made within one month of receipt of the complete and valid request. However, for complex requests we may extend this time period by a further two months. We will let you know before the expiry of one month from the request if we seek to rely on an extension of time. We will therefore respond no later than three months from the date of receipt of the request.
