Privacy and Cookie Policy

This privacy policy sets out how Warwickshire Schools Badminton Association (WSBA) uses and protects any information that you give us when you use this website.

WSBA is committed to ensuring that its members privacy is protected. We only ask our members to provide information by which you can be identified when using the Member Area of the website, and you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.  The general public will not be asked for any personal information which allows individuals to be identified, nor will members if they use only the public area of the website.  We will not share your information with any other organisation.

WSBA may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective from 1st January 2018.

What we collect from our members
We may collect the following information:

• name
• contact information including email address
• demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
• other information relevant to customer surveys and/or offers

In addition, Age Group Coaches collect records of the attendance of players at weekly training sessions. These records are held personally by them (not within the membership records held through the website) and are not shared more widely within WSBA. However Coaches will share summary information such as “Player x has attended regularly or Player Y has not attended training sufficiently” with other Coaches, when making team selections for County fixtures, as regular training is a condition of selection.

What we do with the information we gather
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

• Internal membership records.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• We may periodically send our members emails about badminton-related products or services, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided. 
• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for your views about WSBA or other badminton related matters. We may contact you by email, phone, or letter. We may use the information obtained to customise the website.

Accepting that we collect and use this data in these ways is a condition of membership of WSBA.  Members are free to leave WSBA membership at any time, on writing to us to confirm this, but should be aware that the benefits of membership including training and the opportunity to be selected to play for Warwickshire Junior County Badminton teams will be lost.

Security 
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
