    Where we get personal information from

    We get personal information directly from you, or from the person who registers you for the Club on your behalf.  Mainly we collect this when you register for the Club. We also collect some limited information from people who try a Club session before they join the Club.   If you decide to join England Athletics, we collect additional information from you required for your membership of England Athletics.  We collect information about use of the website from people if they agree to allow some or all website cookies. 

    When you make a payment through our online payment gateway, such as Stripe, the payment gateway provides us with information about the type of credit card you have used, and its expiry date, and whether the payment was successful.  We do not see, still less record, your full credit card number or security code.

    We sometimes obtain race results from race organizers, usually from their public website, to include in our results database. The personal information we get from these results can include the participants’ name, age category, gender, the location and date of the race, and the finish time and position.

    We also store some user-contributed information on our website and social media presence – for example, if members upload photographs, videos or race results.

    How long we keep information

    We will hold your personal data in our database for as long as you are a member with us.   After seven (7) years of inactivity – that is, seven years after your membership has lapsed or been cancelled – the personal data and health information we hold about you in our membership system is destroyed.  After deletion, the Club retains a simplified record which does not identify individuals to enable the Club to analyse long-term trends in the composition of our membership.  This pseudonymised retained data includes the gender, date of birth and dates of membership, but not the name of member.

    Race results and relevant participants’ personal data (name, age, self-identified gender, location, finish times) are kept indefinitely in order to maintain our result tables, records of participation, and allow participants to access their participation records and past results.

    Any other personal data and health information we may have collected from non-members participating in a Club-organised race are destroyed securely shortly after the event.

    Any personal data that we collect when you take part as a non-member in a Club session to try the Club when you are deciding whether to join is kept for six months and then destroyed securely.

    Any personal data we hold about you as a parent or guardian of a junior member is stored as long as the junior member is a member of the Club. Your personal data as a parent or guardian is destroyed if the information about the junior member is destroyed.

    Who we share information with

    The Club will not pass any personal data for other purpose than listed in this policy to a 3rd party without your explicit consent.  The Club will not sell your data.

    Some of the personal information you provide to the Club can, if you choose, be visible to other members of the Club in the membership section of our website.  For example, other members will be able to see your name and – if you provide one – your profile picture.  You can choose to share some other information, such as your contact details, with other Club members.  You have full control over which of your information is shared within the Club here:
    https://www.serpentine.org.uk/members/username/settings/profile/  

    As a member of the Club, you can also choose to be registered as a member of England Athletics Limited in order to compete in some of the running and athletic races. When you choose to be registered as a member of England Athletics Limited, we provide them with your Athletics Data which they use to enable access to the MyAthletics portal. England Athletics Limited should contact you to invite you to sign into and update your MyAthletics portal. You can set and amend your privacy settings from the MyAthletics portal. If you have any questions about the continuing privacy of your personal data when it is shared with England Athletics Limited, please contact dataprotection@englandathletics.org.

    When you choose to participate to league competitions including relays, in addition to passing data to EA, the Club may need to share personal data such as your name, date of birth, gender and  EA ID with leagues, county associations and other competition providers (such as, but not restricted to, South of England Athletics Associate, English Cross Country Association, Met League, Sunday League Cross Country, Summer League, Assembly League, Green Belt Relay, Southern Athletics League, Rosenheim League, Southern Counties Veterans Athletics Club League), for the purpose of administering your entry to events you elect to participate in.

    The Club may also share your name with a 3rd party for the purpose of administering an event other than a race, and for which you have signed up, for example social events or training camps. In certain cases the Club may need to transfer on specific personal data in respect of that event to the 3rd party, for example dietary requirements, the Club will only pass on this other specific personal data with your explicit consent.

    If you participate in races, our website may display your name, age category, self-identified gender, age grade, participation locations, results and finish times.  We do in some cases, share publicly visible data with external third parties. These third parties include but are not restricted to:

    • Power of 10: operated on behalf of UK Athletics Data Limited, PO Box 1007, Uxbridge, UB8 9NQ. Data held on this site is stored under their privacy policy.
    • Active Training World (ATW): timing and registration provider for our New Year’s 10K and 5k race – ActiveTrainingWorld Ltd, Unit 17, Thrales End Business Centre, Thrales End Lane, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5 3NS?
    • RunEvents – England Athletics Ltd, Alexander Stadium, Walsall Road, Perry Barr, Birmingham, B42 2BE. Data held on this site is stored under their privacy policy
    • England Athletics, British Triathlon Federation, UK Athletics and British Athletics.

    The Club’s data processing may require the personal data to be transferred outside of the UK for the purpose of secure data storage. The Club uses services and providers such as Google Forms to collect data, Stripe to process payment data, AWS S3 to store photos, videos and documents, Google Drive, Dropbox and servers at UnitedHost UK to store data.

    Social Media

    The Club has social media pages on Facebook, Instagram and Strava, and communities on WhatsApp and Discord. Use of these services is entirely voluntary, and you are not required to register for, or participate in, these services. The providers of the social media platforms have their own privacy policies and the Club does not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data onto the Club social media pages.

    The Club official social media pages and communities are administered by the Club. These social media platforms may process user personal data to deliver anonymised user statistics to the local administrator of that page or event. We do not use the personal data you have made available on social media outside of that platform, unless you have given us your consent to do so.
