Privacy notice
This notice describes the public website. It does not claim the club is GDPR-compliant merely because this page exists.
Who is the data controller?
Ryde Saints Football Club is the organisation responsible for personal data collected through this website. [CLUB ADMIN: COMPLETE THIS with a role-based privacy or secretary email.]
What this website collects
The public website is designed to collect as little as possible:
- Contact form: name, email address, optional telephone number, enquiry type and message.
- Optional Cloudflare Turnstile may process a token to reduce spam.
- Standard server logs used by Cloudflare to operate and protect the site (for example IP address and browser type) for a limited period.
The site does not use a Meta Pixel or advertising trackers of its own. The homepage Facebook feed and the Events calendar load automatically. Facebook and Google may then set their own cookies. If you choose essential cookies only, those embeds are not loaded and you can still follow the ordinary links.
Why we collect it and lawful basis
Form submissions are used to respond to your enquiry (legitimate interests in running a grassroots club, and/or your request to take steps before a possible relationship with the club). We do not use the form to build a marketing list.
Safeguarding communications
Safeguarding messages should go to the Club Welfare Officer route, not a general mailbox. Welfare information is handled more tightly than a routine enquiry. Do not send other people’s sensitive information through the public form unless you need to raise a concern and have no other safe route.
Children and youth information
This website is not a player database. Do not submit dates of birth, medical details, home addresses or school information through the public form. Team pages must not list children. Photographs of young people should only be published if the club has the appropriate consent.
Retention
Enquiry emails are kept only as long as needed to answer and, where relevant, to keep a short record of the correspondence. [CLUB ADMIN: COMPLETE THIS with the club’s retention period once agreed.]
Sharing and processors
Hosting is on Cloudflare Pages. Form delivery may use an email provider configured by the club (documented in the repository README). We do not sell personal data.
Your rights
UK data protection law gives people rights including access, correction, deletion in some cases, and objection to certain processing. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. This page is not legal advice.
Cookies
We do not set our own analytics or marketing cookies. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies if Turnstile is enabled on the contact form. Your cookie choice is stored in your browser so the site can remember it.
Optional cookies come from Facebook (homepage feed) and Google (Events calendar). Those services load automatically unless you choose essential only. You can change this later with Cookie settings in the footer.
Contact
Privacy questions: use the contact form or the email published by the club once completed.
