Eagle RUFC Privacy Policy

The Data Protection regulations have changed. The Data Protection Act 2018 (The Act) enshrines the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into UK legislation from 25 May 2018 and represents a significant change in the way that organisations, including clubs such as ours, hold and process personal data.
In simple terms, GDPR will help protect the personal data of individual “data subjects” requiring better governance and transparency. Organisations holding personal data, including the club need to give more information to people about what they do with those people’s data, why, and for how long.
