Who are we? 

We, Cliff Lakes, are a multi-sports leisure company. Our mission is to actively promote and encourage water sports to families. Cliff Lakes is a trading name for Kingsbury Watersports Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales with company registration number 07145242 whose registered office address is at 59-61 Charlotte Street, St Pauls Square, Birmingham, B3 1PX. Kingsbury Watersports Limited is the data controller for the information we collect from you for the purposes of activities, events, and appointments. Any personal data that we collect will only be in relation to the work we do with our customers. 

Your personal data – what is it? 

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). 

The majority of the personal information we hold is provided directly by yourself or by parents / legal guardians in either paper form or via our online booking system. 

Where a participant is under the age of 18, this information will only be obtained from a parent/guardian.  

We have professional photographers and videographers who capture great action shots while you enjoy your activities from time to time. This material may appear on our website, on our social media channels or in other marketing materials. 

Why do we collect data? 

The data we collect in support of our activities and operation will include personal data and Sensitive Personal Data. The GDPR requires that there is a lawful basis to process personal data. We collect under the following bases: 

Consent 

Where we maintain mailing lists for sending information out about activities and events run by Cliff Lakes through the use of Sports Booker and Mailchimp 

Legitimate Interest 

We have a legitimate interest in processing personal data and sensitive personal data to provide membership services and activities. 

Activities 

Where we provide an activity, there is a requirement to ensure that we know who is on the activity and details about them. This will enable us to ensure that the correct amount of money is collected for an activity, to be able to contact party leaders and participants before, during and after an activity, or to respond to an emergency.  Additionally, there may be a need to store sensitive personal data about an individual’s health in order to ensure that suitable support can be given to them. 

We comply with our obligations under the GDPR by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data. 

How we store personal data 

We are committed to the protection of your personal information. 

We generally store personal information in one of two secure digital online database systems, where access to that data is restricted and controlled. 

  • Contact Forms – When you submit a contact form, you give us permission to collect and store personal data to contact you. 
  • Sports-Booker – is an online booking system; this system is used to collect and store personal data about party leaders and participants that we use on a day-to-day basis. 
  • NOWCA – is an online booking system; this system is used to collect and store personal data about participants that we use on a day-to-day basis. 
  • Mailchimp – is an online mailing system we use from time to time to email updates and special offers to party leaders when they opt into marketing content on Sports-Bookers 
  • Where data is required to be held in an off-line system (e.g. a paper disclaimer), we will ensure suitable protection for the paper records (e.g. locked filing cabinet). Paper records will be securely destroyed after 5 years (unless there is a requirement to maintain a paper record for a legal reason such as an injury, in which case the paper record will be stored securely). 

Third-Party Data Processors 

Kingsbury Watersport Limited employs the services of the following third-party data processors: 

  • Sports-Booker – via its online booking system. This is used to collect and store personal data about party leaders and participants. Click here to read more. 
  • NOWCA – via its online booking system. This is used to collect and store personal data about participants. Click Here to read more. 
  • Mailchimp – This allows us to email updates and special offers to party leaders.  

Automated decision making 

Kingsbury Watersports Limited does not have any automated decision-making systems. 

How long do we keep your personal data? 

We have procedures in place to regularly review every 12 months what personal data we hold. Paper disclaimers are only stored for 5 years (unless there is a requirement to maintain a paper record for a legal reason such as an injury, in which case the paper record will be stored securely). If you have not interacted with us or accessed our services during this or the subsequent period, we may delete your personal data from our systems but will send you an email first informing you of our intention to do so. 

Your rights and your personal data 

You have the right to object to how we process your personal information. You also have the right to access, correct, sometimes delete and restrict the personal information we use. In addition, you have a right to complain to the data protection regulator and to us. 

Unless subject to an exemption under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data: 

  • The right to be informed – you have a right to know how we will use your data. 
  • The right to access your personal data – you can ask us to share the data we have about you with you. 
  • The right to rectification – this just means you can update your data if it is inaccurate or if something is missing. You can view and edit your own personal information directly on our online booking systems (Sports-Booker & NOWCA). 
  • The right to erasure – this means that you have the right to request that we delete any personal data they have about you. There are some exceptions, for example, some information must be held for legal reasons. 
  • The right to restrict processing – if you think there is something wrong with the data being held about you or are not sure if we are complying with rules, you can restrict any further use of your data until the problem is resolved. 
  • The right to data portability – this means that if you ask us we will have to share your data with you in a way that can be read digitally – such as a pdf. This makes it easier to share information with others. 
  • The right to object – you can object to the ways your data is being used. This should make it easier to avoid unwanted marketing communications and spam from third parties. 
  • Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling – this protects you in cases where decisions are being made about you based entirely on automated processes rather than human input. 

Whether or not you exercise your new rights is up to you – the main thing to remember is that they’re there if you need them.
