We may be provided with personal information about you from the club, school, body or society that you are a member of/participate with (or are taking steps to join/participate with). If this happens, the relevant club, school, body or society will have a responsibility as a “controller” to provide you with a separate privacy policy that sets out how they collect, hold and use your personal information, but in these circumstances please note that Scottish Rugby itself will only collect, hold and use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

3. Who we share your personal information with and why

Your name may appear publicly on our websites and systems in the context of team sheets and other match, participation, competition or event related reporting or statistics.

Also, your name, email and telephone number may appear publicly in our Rugby Record publication and on our websites and systems if you are a relevant contact or office bearer for your club, school, body or society.

Otherwise, unless you specifically agree or ask us to share your personal information with a third-party, your personal information will only be shared as follows:

with the rugby club, school, body or society that you are a member of or participate with (or are taking steps to join/participate with) if this is required in the context of your participation in rugby union or in any of our matches, competitions or events;
with other members of our group of companies;

with our insurers where necessary for the purposes of the maintenance and operation of coverage and the evaluation and administration of any claims or potential claims;
with our healthcare and medical providers where necessary for the purposes of providing treatment or coverage
with any third-party whose services we require to use for the administration, management or completion of any request that you have made of us or any contract that you have entered into (or taken steps to enter into) with us;
with our sponsors or partners to keep you informed via mail, email, social media, SMS or telephone about other offers, events, products and services offered by them that may be of interest to you (only if you have agreed for your personal information to be shared in this way and subject to your ability to withdraw that agreement at any time);

If we share your personal information with third parties, they will be “processors” and subject to written conditions to only process your personal information in accordance with our instructions and to protect it. We will only share your personal information with third parties if we are required to do so for specific purposes and will take reasonable steps to ensure that recipients only process the disclosed personal information in accordance with those purposes.

4. Children under 14

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children under the age of 14. We request that any child under 14 does not provide any personal information directly to us and that any such information is only provided by the relevant child’s parent or guardian, or with the permission of the relevant child’s parent or guardian.

5. How your personal information is protected and where it is kept

Your personal information will be held within the United Kingdom or in the European Economic Area on a secure server.

If you are using our SCRUMS registration system, limited password protected and permissions based access rights will be made available to you, to the rugby club, school, body or society that you are a member of participate with (or are taking steps to join/participate with), and to our own staff and administrators.

We will use reasonable security measures to seek to prevent unauthorised access to your personal information.

If a password is required to access certain areas of our website, IT systems or applications, you are responsible for keeping your password secure and confidential. You must not leave your password unattended or disclose your password to any other person.

6. How long your personal information is kept

Your personal information will be held for no longer than is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained. We will carry out periodic reviews of the personal information that we hold about you to ensure that this is the case.

If you are using our SCRUMS registration system and we are notified that you no longer participate in the sport of rugby union then your information will be removed from SCRUMS after 5 years from the end of the end of the last season in which you participated (or earlier if you have requested that your information is removed earlier).

Your information may be held for longer than that 5-year period for historical, statistical and record keeping purposes in respect of disciplinary matters, insurance purposes, competition results and scores.

Records of your involvement in a match, competition or event, on team sheets, on results pages or in match reports may be held indefinitely to maintain a record of the game.

We will also retain your personal information to maintain historical, statistical and statutory records in accordance with applicable laws, regulations or guidance.

7. Your rights

You have the right to request that any inaccurate or incomplete personal information that we hold about you is modified or corrected at any time.

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete the personal information we hold about you at any time (although this may adversely affect your ability to participate in our matches, events and competitions or to obtain products and services from us).

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we restrict or stop the processing of your personal information for specific purposes at any time (although this may adversely affect your ability to participate in our matches, events and competitions or to obtain products and services from us).

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we provide your personal information to you in a particular format for your own re-use.

You have the right to access (without charge) the personal information that we hold about you by making a “subject access request” of us at any time.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the details set out below. Any requests will be considered under applicable data protection legislation. If you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ww.ico.org.uk.

8. Amendments to this Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be published on our website and the date of the most recent revision will appear at the bottom of this page. If changes are significant, these will also be notified to you.
