The data held
MDOC and its officials may hold some or all of the following data about any members and others who compete in orienteering events: name, postal address, email address, telephone numbers, year of birth, gender. The club may also hold details of organisation, planning or coaching experience and relevant qualifications, courses attended and events officiated. Contact data is also held of landowners and other organisations with whom we co-operate, their employees, agents and tenants for the purposes of event organisation. Orienteering-related photographs may also be held. The data may be held in electronic or paper form.
It may sometimes be necessary to collect personal health data for safety purposes at training events or competitions. This information will be kept separately and like other data, only with your consent and only for the time it is needed.
How MDOC uses the data
The data is used in organising the sport of orienteering and for social purposes within the club, including but not limited to: distribution of newsletters, club information and details of competitions and events, coaching, team selection, training and appointment of officials. MDOC does not pass your personal data to third parties outside the club, unless required for legal or insurance purposes.
How long MDOC will keep the data
MDOC will hold your personal data on file for as long as you are a member. In order to comply with the requirements of British Orienteering insurance, the data MDOC holds about event participants will be stored for five years.
Additional safeguards
If you do not wish to receive mailings (by email, post or other means) or other non-administrative communications from MDOC, or do not wish photographs of yourself or your children to be published, or you believe that the data held by MDOC about you is incorrect, please contact the Membership Secretary.
