WHAT TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT AND PROCESS?

Information we hold about you may include any one or more of the following types of data:

Account information: When you register to use, purchase or engage with any of The Foundation's services, the minimum information we will usually ask you to provide is your name, email address, country of residence, telephone number, and year of birth. We may also ask you for additional information depending on the nature of our interaction with you. This may be through the `Contact Us' form on our Website, through application forms for vacancies or from details you provide when you sign up for one of our programmes.

Transactional information: When you purchase services from The Foundation’s official websites, we will keep a record of your transaction, including what you purchased and when, and any information you provide to us to fulfil the transaction. This may include your name, billing information and telephone number. We will not keep payment card information, except for the last four digits of your payment card number which we keep in case there are any payment disputes, or we need to issue a refund. We will ensure that, when handling any information about you relating to a transaction, we comply with the applicable regulations of the Payment Card Industry. When you register to take part in events or fundraise for us, we will keep a record of your name, age, email address, postal address, telephone number and relevant health information to ensure that we can understand and evaluate any risks of you taking part in the activity.

Where you purchase services on behalf of a third party (for example, where you book onto a soccer school or other service provided by The Foundation) we will usually take details of the participants attending the school, course or service, in addition to the transactional information described above. This is in order that we may administer the provision properly and use your details for the other purposes described in this policy.

Information you provide to us in response to a survey: We may occasionally contact you to ask for your feedback on The Foundation’s services or services provided by a third-party affiliate on our behalf so that we can make them better and more relevant.

Information you provide to us in response to a job advertisement, where you contact us about a potential role at The Foundation or where you volunteer with The Foundation: We regularly advertise open positions on the Vacancies page of our website at www.cardiffcityfcfoundation.org.uk/vacancies  

Information from other companies: We may use publicly available postal address lists and the edited electoral roll to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, or we may use this information, together with general market research information (for example, demographic information), to add to and enhance our database. We may also be provided with information from Cardiff City FC, Cardiff & Vale College, Careers Wales and our partner primary and secondary schools.

Online usage information: If you use The Foundations Official Websites we may collect your browser type, IP address, the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL), clickstream to, through and from our site (including date and time), products you viewed or searched for, page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks and mouse-overs) and methods used to browse away from the page. Online usage information may be linked to a unique identifier, but we do not link online usage information to named individuals.

We sometimes may need to collect sensitive personal information regarding your health or fitness, when relevant, such as for participation in an event where we need this information to ensure we provide safe and appropriate facilities for you.

The Foundation does not store any credit/debit card details and is fully PCI-DSS compliant.

When you are using our secure online donation pages, your donation is processed by a third-party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.

If you donate or fundraise for us through a third party (for example, via JustGiving, or through a recognised volunteer group) then we may obtain information about you from that third party. The receipt of personal information by the Foundation in this manner is subject to the third party’s own privacy policy or the information they have provided to the data subject. Information obtained in this way is treated no differently to any other once held by the Foundation and is bound by the terms of this Privacy Notice as soon as it is received.

Information you provide to us in order to take part in an activity: In order to take part in the Foundation’s activities you may need to provide data such as name, date of birth, address, ethnicity, gender and relevant medical information. We will also collect data on attendance and performance.

In most cases, you are not obliged to provide any personal data to us, but in some cases we may not be able to provide services to you unless you provide certain minimum information. By way of example only, where you intend to make a purchase from The Foundation, we may need to obtain and process certain information about you in order to enter into and perform the contract of sale with you.

THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

The legal basis under which The Foundation will process your personal data is one or more of the following:

• To allow us to enter into and/or perform our contract with you*.
• To enable us to comply with legal obligations**;
• To pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties (provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests) ***; and/or
• With your consent. For the avoidance of doubt, we will only use your information for marketing purposes (where such consent is necessary) where we have your consent****.

Further details of how we will process your personal information are listed below. We have indicated by asterisks the legal basis on which we are processing or will process your personal information.

Contract performance* / **: The Foundation may use account information and transactional information data, as necessary, to carry out or perform any contract which you may have entered into with us, including contracts for the purchase of courses and any other services, merchandise and other products. We also use this information to communicate with you and handle your enquiries regarding these contracts. If you order The Foundation’s products or services for another person we may ask you for their personal information and we will use this to provide the services you have ordered. Please ensure that you have their permission for us to process this data before providing it to The Foundation.

Legal obligations**: The Foundation retains records of all of its financial transactions with you in order to comply with its legal obligations to maintain adequate accounting records. The Foundation may use (and disclose) the information it holds about you in order to comply with any investigative demand, court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency.

Recruitment/engagement***: If you apply for a job, register to be a volunteer or apply for a work experience placement with The Foundation we may use your information for the purposes of recruitment and selection, corresponding with you and for equal opportunities monitoring.

Marketing where it is in our legitimate interest*** We may also market to you with fundraising appeals, news and offers from The Foundation, which we think may be of interest to you, and conduct related surveys, or analytics, where it is in our legitimate interest, and where your consent is not necessary. This can apply to individuals (e.g. analytics) but also to contacting data subjects who work for businesses. For more information about our Legitimate Interests Assessment please contact us as outlined above.

Marketing with your consent (where consent is necessary)****: If you have consented to it (where consent is necessary) The Foundation may contact you electronically or by telephone with fundraising appeals, news and offers from The Foundation and its affiliates.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, by emailing  DPO@cardiffcityfc.org.uk.

Building profiles of supporters or potential supporters where it is in our legitimate interest***. The Foundation relies upon donations to fund its work. To enable us to fundraise appropriately and effectively, using our legitimate interests, we will research individuals and organisations to help us identify suitable major donors, corporate partners and charitable trusts. This research helps us to identify individuals or organisations who have the capacity to make substantial donations, who appear to have an interest in supporting our cause and who may be able to help us to raise funds through volunteer support for our appeals, events or partnership opportunities. We appreciate that you expect us to conduct such processing in an efficient and professional manner whilst taking your right to privacy into account. We are careful to ensure information collated is not excessive or intrusive and is sourced reliably and appropriately.

Any research is undertaken using only credible, publicly available information. This may include sources such as Companies House, the Electoral Register, the internet, national and local press and social media sites such as LinkedIn – to help us to understand more about you as an individual and your ability to support the Foundation, including financially. We will only use these where the data has been deliberately made public. We may also use appropriate third-party sources to identify and inform professional approaches to prospective donors, partners and volunteers.

We may on occasion use contractually bound trusted third parties to automate this research and assess the giving capacity of donors and supporters (sometimes known as ‘wealth screening’). Certain information obtained in these ways may, at our discretion, be appended to the individual records we hold on our database. These organisations are required to comply with data protection laws and should they process your information they are only allowed to do so in strict compliance with our instructions and data protection laws and regulations. You will always have the right to opt-out of this processing.

We may also use publicly available sources to carry out due diligence on significant donors in line with the Foundation’s Gift Acceptance Policy and to meet Anti -Money Laundering Regulations.

Other purposes***: The Foundation will analyse the information it holds about you to identify trends and preferences about its customers and to get a more detailed and informed picture of how its customers are using The Foundation's services. We do this to make better strategic decisions about The Foundation and its services so that we can improve the way we market and provide products and services to you and Cardiff City FC supporters generally. The Foundation may also use online usage information about you to administer and improve the function and content of The Foundation’s Official Website, including to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and your device and browser, to allow you to participate in interactive features when you choose to do so and to keep our online services safe and secure. The Foundation may also use the information it holds about you if required to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Foundation’s, stakeholders/ beneficiaries or others.

The Foundation will not carry out any automated decision-making using the information it holds about you.

This data is collected in accordance with all of our standard Data Protection processes and anonymised immediately where possible. This may include personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, data concerning your health and/or your states of physical or mental health or personal data concerning your sexual orientation.

The Foundation stores:

• its financial transactions with you for at least seven years in order to comply with its obligations to maintain adequate accounting records.

PARENTAL CONSENT / SUPERVISION

One of the Foundation's primary aims is to engage with participants and young persons in the community. We are keen to ensure that when we interact with participants and young person’s we do so responsibly. We would therefore ask that parents and guardians supervise their participants when they are online and that participants under 18 do not submit personal information or content to The Foundation, make purchases of The Foundation's products or services, or take part in The Foundation’s events, without the consent of their parent or guardian. The Foundation reserves the right to take reasonable measures in order to verify the existence and/or validity of parental consent.

Where we do need to hold personal information of under 18’s for the performance of the contract being undertaken, we will always do so with specific parental consent. More information about this can be found by contacting us on the details above.
