Summary of how we use your data
Jesmond Parish Church Hockey Club (JPCHC) uses your personal data to manage and administer your and (if relevant) your child's membership and involvement with our teams and the Club, to enable us to organise the playing and enjoyment of hockey, and to keep in contact with you for these purposes.

We may share some of your data with:

  • local and regional hockey associations to whom we are affiliated, who ask for player names, dates of birth and details of any incidents to allow them to administer the leagues and other competitions we play in;
  • the Northumberland and Durham Hockey Umpires Association (if you are an umpire), to allow them to check match umpires are appropriately qualified, to maintain a list of registered umpires, and to provide you with umpire insurance;
  • England Hockey, who regulate, develop and manage the game;
  • our Club insurance providers if required to do so to report incidents;
  • Club officials and players on a strictly need-to-know basis;
  • Local venues we use for social events, strictly for the purposes of them hosting those events and only if they need to have certain limited information for their legitimate purposes such as for health and safety reasons;
  • Newcastle Cricket Club who host our post-match teas, as we register all league players as members to allow us to use their facilities for this purpose.

Amongst the data we collect from or hold on you may be medical (including injury) information. We will hold this where you (or your parent) have given consent, so that we can ensure we are aware of your condition and can that you are supported appropriately.

Where you work in a particular role within the game, you may be required to undergo a Disclosure & Barring Service check. The result of this check will be kept confidential and input into a restricted area.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping.
