We will delete this data after a participant or member has left or otherwise ended their membership or affiliation, or sooner if specifically requested and we are able to do so. We may need to retain some personal data for longer for legal or regulatory purposes.

Photographs (Adults)
Photographs of matches or training sessions may be taken and used in promotional material, on our website or social channels. You may, at any time, request removal or deletion of a photograph by contacting our digital PR officers or a club committee member. Images may also be stored in a password-protected folder on a shared Dropbox account, accessible only to our Chair, Vice Chair, Welfare Officer, Digital PR Officers and Club Photographer. The latter may need to process images on their personal devices in order to produce materials/posts, etc.
Photographs (Juniors)
To celebrate and promote the junior sections of our football club, we wish – on occasion – to take photographs of club activities and use these on digital and printed media.
Photographs will reflect the typical training or matchday activities of a junior football club. This can include training drills and activities, match action, team photos or individual head-and-shoulders portraits. On occasion, the first name of your child may feature alongside the image (such as in a match report or on a team profile page).
We will only ever take photographs at ‘public’ events, such as matches or training sessions, meaning that parents/guardians will have the opportunity to attend and supervise. Similarly, they will retain the right – at any time – to request removal of their child from sessions or events where club photography is taking place and at no time will any photographer be alone with any child.
Images selected for use may be accessed and processed by the personal devices of our Digital PR Officers but will be deleted from these devices once published and when storage is no longer necessary.
At any time parents/guardians may request removal and destruction of any image featuring their child and, beyond that, have a wide range of rights under the UK GDPR which can be viewed at https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/
