Tennis Veterans Society – Privacy Policy
COVID-19 related processing:
While pandemic conditions persist, the Tennis Veterans Society may need to collect, share and otherwise process personal data in accordance with Government guidance. This may be for reasons not specifically set out in this privacy policy but always for the purposes of protecting public and individual health by seeking to limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

This privacy policy explains how the Tennis Veterans Society– collectively referred to in this privacy policy as “TennisVets” (or “the Society”, “we”, “our”, “us”) – collects, uses and shares your personal data.
How we use your personal data depends on how you interact with us e.g. by email, telephone or via the Tennisvets website
(https://www.tennisvets.net) – the “website”. This privacy policy gives a general overview of how we process personal data
Any phrase introduced by the expressions “including”, “includes”, “include”, “for example”, or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms.

● Details relating to competitions/tournament administration e.g. publicity of events, tournaments entered, results;
● Participation in TennisVets tournaments;
● Photographs that will only be used for the publicity and reporting of TennisVets tournaments.
● As photographs can constitute personal data under the GDPR, TennisVets will quickly and easily remove all images of an individual if
that individual objects to their likeness being used, and they request the ‘right to be forgotten’ (right to erasure).
For website users:
● Login ID information, including usernames;
● Competitors’ names (for tournaments entered)
● Personal data collected or stored by ‘cookies’ – See cookie section (9) below.

● Directly from you, for example when you apply to become a member of TennisVets, or enter (or enquire) about a TennisVets tournament
● From someone else acting on your behalf, e.g. through them entering your name as a tournament partner on the website or by emailing a TennisVets administrator or tournament organiser
4. Our basis for processing personal data and the purposes for which we use it
We need to process personal data in pursuit of our legitimate interests in order to:
● Publicise upcoming TennisVets tournaments
● organise and administer TennisVets competitions (e.g. confirming entries, venues, start and finish times etc)
● process queries, complaints or other information received by the Society ;
● keep appropriate records of individuals associated with or interested in the Society’s activities;
Where TennisVets relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing personal data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the
individuals whose data are being processed and concluded that the processing is, on balance, fair.
Consent. TennisVets may also process your personal data on the basis of consent you give, for example to send you certain direct communications about future events, or to place certain ‘cookies’ on your computer or other device when you use our website (please see our cookies policy for more information about this).
