Woking Hockey Club (WHC) want to make sure all the personal details we hold about you are safe and secure, so we have put together this note to tell all of our junior members how we make sure we just do that and what to do in case you have any questions for us or want to see what information we have. We are, what is known as, a data controller. This means we have control over how your details are used and who we pass them to.

Sometime organisations like ours need to appoint an individual called a “Data Protection Officer” to make sure that we are being very careful with your information. We don’t need to have Data Protection Officer, but we have decided to put together a team of people instead to make sure your details are safe. They can be contacted at whc.welfare@gmail.com in case you have any questions.

1. WHAT TYPE OF DETAILS DO WE COLLECT FROM YOU?

We may also hold and use what is called “special information” such as whether you have any religious beliefs and any information about your health such as any injuries you have/have had or times you may not have been very well and we will only use it if we have a really good reason to do so such as:
