Accuracy and retention of data
Each individual member is responsible for keeping the Secretary informed of changes to their data (e.g. address/telephone number etc. and this is updated at least once a year at renewal and you are at that time authorizing the club to hold such data on file.
The data are kept on file at the Secretary’s home address in a secure area.
The data will be normally be kept for up to (7 years). It may be kept for a longer period for reasons of legal and civil action or other ongoing case management. Name, address and length of membership will be kept for up to 30 years for management of historical insurance claims. Names and scores may be kept indefinitely for reason of historical significance – e.g. on trophies, plaques and other awards.
CCTV Images
CCTV is used to record activities on the ranges at the club in the interests of safety and crime prevention.
All images are stored onsite in the security section of the shooting centers.
The images/data are stored for a length of time before being over written.
For these reasons the information processed may include visual images, personal appearance and behaviors.
This information may be about club members, customers and offenders and suspected offenders, members of the public and those inside, entering or in the immediate vicinity of the area under surveillance.
Where necessary or required this information is shared with the data subjects themselves, employees and agents, service providers, police forces, security organizations and persons making an inquiry.
As the CCTV and recording equipment does not belong to our club and any storage of footage that is made is stored by the relevant place it is made ie T/A Tigers road or Swadlincote shooting grounds you must be aware any complaints which rely on this about theft/bullying/abuse etc. must therefore be made within 24 hours of the incident otherwise the images will have be overwritten within the legal time scale that each place is required to keep them.
