On 25 May this year the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force, with new requirements on how organisations, including football and sports clubs like ours who hold data on individuals, use this information. This includes photos and uploaded videos.

One of the new requirements is that individuals must actively consent to their details being held on the Lydney Town Football Club website (Pitchero) and on social media such as Facebook. The club must be able to produce evidence of consent if asked by the person concerned or the Information Commissioner’s Office. Those consenting to be on the website/social media must also know what their details will be used for.

Therefore, those who wish to be on the website/social media (including those currently on it) need to give their consent before the May deadline. To help you with this process we are attaching a ‘Consent Form’ for you to complete, sign and return. The Data Privacy Notice also documented below gives further details on how your data is stored and managed, and the purposes for which it will be used. If we do not receive your consent, your personal details will be removed from our database and you will receive no further communications from us.
