Introduction

This Privacy Statement covers personal information provided to Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association LBG.

Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association LBG (“GIBA” or “We” or “Our”) are committed to protecting your personal information when you use Our services. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you as a person. This Privacy Statement relates to Our use of any personal information you provide.

In order to provide you with the best experience, we are required to collect information about you. We are committed to safeguarding your personal information. Whenever you provide such information we are legally obliged to use your information in line with all laws concerning the protection of personal information including the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017.

This website contains hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, including cookies, and we urge you to review them. They will govern the use of personal information you submit or are collected by cookies whilst visiting these websites. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third-party websites and your use of such websites is at your own risk.

 

What information will GIBA collect about me?

When you engage with or receive a service from GIBA, such as enquiries about services, making bookings, or arranging a function we will ask for personal information about you. This will consist of your name, email address, postal address and other personal information. Different services may ask for different information.

By giving us your details you enable GIBA to provide you with the services you requested.

 

How will GIBA use the information they collect about me?

We use your personal information in a number of ways including the following:

  • to contact you about an enquiry you have made via email, website, telephone or other means of communication, including any content you provide
  • to personalise the way we present information to you
  • to analyse and improve the services offered by GIBA
  • to meet contractual, legal and regulatory obligations

 

When will GIBA contact me?

We may contact you:

  • In relation to any service you have enquired about, where you have opted to receive further correspondence and in relation to a service we have agreed to provide.

You may opt‑out of receiving marketing material and other information from us at any time.

 

How will GIBA Manage my personal information?

When we interact with clients a certain amount of personal information is required. Your information is protected under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 (“the Law”) and we have taken steps to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Law.

Howsoever collected, information shall be collected and held by Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association LBG (the “Company”) unless otherwise noted below and, as such, we are the controller for the purposes of the Law. The Company may not hold your data exclusively in Guernsey because, for example, it uses cloud based data storage from reputable providers such as Microsoft, in addition to local data storage.

 

Are other parties involved and how will they handle my data?

Personal data collected from you directly or by the other means described shall only be utilised for the purpose of entering into and maintaining a contract with you and providing services. It shall be held at all times in accordance with and for as long as Our statutory and regulatory requirements require it. This includes a retention period following the cessation of Our provision of services to you, which shall, at all times, be determined by our legal and regulatory obligations. As soon as such obligations cease to apply, we shall permanently erase all personal information held on you from Our records.

From time to time, provide your information to outsourced service providers or be required to provide your information to law enforcement; the regulator(s) and/or associated parties because of Our legal obligations. This may require information to be submitted to the United Kingdom, EU or other jurisdictions. We shall not provide your information to any other third parties (e.g. for marketing purposes) without your express consent and acknowledge that such consent may be withdrawn by you at any time.

 

If at any time you believe we hold information in error or that the information we hold on you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may submit a request to us to consider rectifying and/or erasing it.

If at any time you are concerned with the information held, the way in which we hold it or are unhappy with any response from us in relation to information held or with any other element relating to your personal information, you may lodge a complaint.  We would ask that you contact us in the first instance and we will seek to resolve any concerns as soon as possible. You also have a right to lodge a complaint directly with the Guernsey Data Protection Commissioner at:
