Privacy Policy
Who are we?
Claire Hitchings Coaching is a UK-based triathlon and biking coaching consultancy company.
Why I process personal data
My lawful basis for process is 'Consent' - the individual (or parent/guardian) has given clear consent for me to process their personal (or child's) data for a specific purpose.
I require information to understand attendee needs, provide attendees with a service and for internal record keeping.
I also hold a 'Be an Insider' mailing list hosted by MailChimp, enabling subscribers to get first access to the latest events and updates from Claire Hitchings Coaching. Subscribers can change their mind at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of any email they receive from me or contacting Claire Hitchings.
The data that I process
I am the data controller of your personal data. This means I am responsible for decisions and actions about processing. I may collect the following personal information to enable me to provide services to attendees:
- Name
- Contact information including email address and phone number
- Demographic information such as age, activity experience
- Consent details including participant details, medical and specific needs, emergency contact details and a declaration
- Other information relevant to operate my clubs and courses.
Data is received via my website. Details are stored on a password protected computer in Outlook email and on Excel and Word files (all are password protected). A back up copy is saved on a potable hard drive (stored in a locked storage container). Printed copies are on site whilst courses run.
I do not share data with anyone else unless I am working with other coaches. In such circumstances relevant data will be shared.
Data will be reviewed each September and will be deleted if it has been 1 year or more from when an attendee last attended a club, course or event.
