​

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact the club or submit information through one of our online forms.

​

We may collect personal information when you:

​

Depending on the reason for contacting us, this may include:

​

• your name;

• email address;

• telephone number;

• information about the player you are enquiring about;

• a player's date of birth or age group;

• parent or guardian details where appropriate;

• team or playing information;

• information required for player registration;

• photography or media permissions; and

• any other information you choose to provide in your enquiry.

​

Where information relates to a child or young person, we take particular care when handling and sharing that information.

​

How we use your information

 

We may use personal information to:

​

• respond to enquiries;

• direct enquiries to the appropriate AFC Pegasus team, coach or club representative;

• assess interest in joining one of our teams;

• administer player registrations;

• communicate with players, parents and guardians;

• manage participation in club activities;

• manage photography and media permissions;

• operate and administer the club; and

• comply with legal, regulatory or football governing-body requirements.

 

We will only use personal information where we have a lawful reason to do so.

​

Depending on the circumstances, this may include where the information is needed to provide or administer club services, where we have a legitimate interest in operating and managing AFC Pegasus, where consent has been provided, or where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

​

Children's information

 

AFC Pegasus provides football opportunities for children and young people and may therefore need to collect information relating to junior players.

​

Where appropriate, information should be provided by, or with the involvement of, a parent or guardian.

​

We aim to collect only the information necessary to deal with an enquiry, registration or participation in the club and to restrict access to those who genuinely need it.

​

Sharing your information

 

Information submitted through the website may be shared with relevant people within AFC Pegasus where necessary to deal with your enquiry or administer club activities.

​

This may include appropriate club officials, team managers, coaches or administrators.

 

We may also use trusted third-party service providers to operate the website and associated services. Our website is currently provided using Wix.

 

We will not sell your personal information.

 

We may disclose information where required by law or where necessary to meet safeguarding, regulatory or football governing-body obligations.

​

How long we keep your information

 

We will keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, or where we are required to retain it for legal, safeguarding, regulatory or administrative reasons.

​

Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely disposed of where appropriate.

​
