Privacy Policy

Irish Squash policy is a commitment to protect the rights and privacy of individuals in accordance with the Data Protection Acts.
The data controller is the Irish Squash Chief Operating Officer.
 

What is Data Protection?

 

  • Data Protection legislation is intended to protect the right to privacy of individuals (all of us) and seeks to ensure that Personal Information is used appropriately by third parties that may have it (Data Controllers)
  • In essence Data Protection relates to any information that can be used to identify a living person such as Name, Date of Birth, Address, Phone Number, Email address, Membership Number, IP Address, photographs etc.
  • There are other categories of information which currently are defined as Sensitive Personal Data which require more stringent measures of protection and these categories include religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, trade union membership, medical information etc.What is GDPR?

What is GDPR?

  • The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) is new EU legislation that comes into effect on the 25th May 2018
  • It very clearly sets out the ways in which the privacy rights of every EU citizen must be protected and the ways in which a person’s ‘Personal Data’ can and can’t be used
  • It places the onus on the person or entity that collects a person’s information (Data Controller) to comply with the legislation and to demonstrate compliance

Data Protection can be summarised in the following ‘7 Principles’’

  1. Lawfulness, Fairness, Transparency
  2. Purpose Limitation (only use for one or more specific purpose)
  3. Data Minimisation (collect only the amount of data required for the specified purpose(s) )
  4. Accuracy (ensure data is kept up to date, accurate and complete)
  5. Storage Limitation (kept for no longer than necessary for the specified purpose(s) )
  6. Integrity and Confidentiality (processing ensuring appropriate security of data)
  7. Accountability (essential not only to be compliant, but to be able to demonstrate compliance)
