GDPR & PRIVACY
From 25th May 2018, the Government introduced a new legislation concerning data protection called The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This law affects any company or organisation that holds information or data on someone. This includes information such as Clubs members’/boxers’ details. The GDPR (and a new UK Data Protection Act) will replace the current Data Protection Act and fines can be applied for those who fail to adhere to them or take basic actions.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any “data controllers” or “data processors”. Simply put, if you collect any personal data in running your club (which you will do if you have any members) then the GDPR will apply to you.
