Children 

If you are under 16, you will either need to ask your parent or guardian to register you for a course or event or will need the permission of your parent or guardian before the booking for you can be made.  We may require your parent or guardian to confirm that they have given permission.  We may ask for their contact details so that we can check that they have done so and may carry out checks to confirm that the details you have given us are correct.    

We normally only send newsletters and offers and opportunities to those under 16 where their parent or guardian has given consent to them being sent.  Parents or guardians of those under 16 can change their mind at any time (see ‘Newsletters, Offers and Opportunities’ below).

The information we collect  

In order to provide you with the services offered by being a member of ODCC whether as a Social Member or a Playing Member we will obtain your details including contact details and for each child who will attend training and matches and other information that is relevant to playing cricket and membership of ODCC

The information will be obtained from this Website, telephone conversations, emails, text messages and written and verbal communications and from records of the training / matches. 

We will sometime take photographs of matches and people at the club for use on our website and in our newsletters. We also have a live streaming web camera on at the ground during the season, where some of our set home matches will be live streamed on to YouTube.

Occasionally we may ask for date of birth, for example, where the service you require has age related restrictions, disability information to keep under review equal opportunities within cricket or ethnicity information to enable us to monitor and ensure compliance with anti-discrimination policies.

We may supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you (such as other events you or someone you book for have attended, achievements in cricket and details from other services you use or have used such as play-cricket, or teamer) or which we receive from other organisations, such as Cricket Organisations (e.g. ECB, Oxfordshire Cricket) and Partners.

Disclosing your personal information

In order to provide our products and services, we may, occasionally, appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on our behalf. These may include, for example, technology hosts, printing companies and mailing houses. In these circumstances, we will ensure that personal information is properly protected and that it is only used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 

Club and instructor use of your personal information

In order to provide and administer courses and events, we will provide relevant details to the Coaches and Managers.  Coaches and Managers  will also be provided with contact details for each person who is booked for their age group and details of the parents contact details.  We only permit coaches and managers to use this information to deal with the administration of the course or event and they are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.

Cricket organisations

ODCC has relationships with other cricket related organisations such as County Cricket Boards, cricket clubs and cricket leagues (each a Cricket Organisation) and some of the goods and services available on or through ODCC are provided by those Cricket Organisations.  Each Cricket Organisation has its own privacy practices and you should check that you are satisfied with them before you provide any personal information to them.

 Security 

We take the security of personal information seriously.  We employ security technology, including firewalls, and Secure Socket Layers to safeguard information and have procedures in place to ensure that our paper and computer systems and databases are protected against unauthorised disclosure, use, loss and damage.

 Use of your information outside the EU 

Some of the organisations to which we may disclose personal information may be situated outside of the European Union. In order to provide the products and services you or others whose information you have provided to us, we may need to transfer your/their personal information to these countries some of which do not have laws that protect privacy rights as extensively as in the United Kingdom. If we do transfer your personal information to other territories, we will take proper steps to ensure that the information is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Changes to this privacy policy  

Privacy laws and practice are constantly developing and we aim to meet high standards.  Our policies and procedures are, therefore, under continual review. We may, from time to time, update our security and privacy policies and suggest that you check this page periodically to review our latest policy.

Updating and correcting information  

You may update or correct your personal information online in relevant membership areas or by contacting us in writing or by email (see the section ‘How to contact us’ below). Please include your name, address and/or email address when you contact us as this helps us to ensure that we accept amendments only from the correct person. We encourage you to promptly update your personal information if it changes.  If you are providing updates or corrections about another person, we may require you to provide us with proof that you are authorised to provide that information to us.

Your rights to access your personal information 

You have the right to receive a copy of the personal information that each data controller holds about you.  The same right applies to any other person whose personal information you provide to us.
