How we protect your personal data
The Data Controller will process BSSA affiliate and contact information electronically and hold all information on a database on a secure computer and a password-protected Google drive. A backup of this information is held on an encrypted secure cloud drive. Paper copes of data will be held at 44a Chapel Road, Flitwick, Beds, MK45 1EB and secured in a locked filing cabinet. If it is necessary to transport data, it will be kept secure.
BSSA Committee members who need some of the personal data, for example to send out results of competitions, notices of meetings, etc. will also keep the data safe and secure in the same manner that the Data Controller does.
In the unlikely event of a breach of the security of data we will notify members promptly and we will never sell or pass on your personal data.

Accuracy and retention of data
Each BSSA contact is responsible for keeping the BSSA Secretariat informed of changes to their data (e.g. address/telephone number/email etc.) and this should be updated at least whenever BSSA members change their committee/contact details. You are at that time authorising BSSA to hold such data on file.
The data are kept on file at 44a Chapel Road, Flitwick, Beds, MK45 1EB.

Name, address and length of affiliation will be kept for up to 30 years for management of historical insurance claims. Names and scores may be kept indefinitely for reason of historical significance – e.g. on trophies, plaques and other awards.
