New privacy policy

The privacy notices on each point of data collection will give more information where required.

4. How long we keep your data

Where data is collected on the basis of consent, we will seek renewal of consent at least every three years.

5. Rights you have over your data

You have a range of rights over your data, which include the following:

  • You have the right to know what data Christians in Sport holds on you and how it is used
  • Where data processing is based on consent, you may revoke this consent at any time and we will make it as easy as possible for you to do this (for example by putting ‘unsubscribe’ links at the bottom of all our marketing emails).
  • You have the right to ask for rectification and/or deletion of your information.
  • You have the right of access to your information.
  • You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner if you feel your rights have been infringed.

A full summary of your legal rights over your data can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website here: https://ico.org.uk/

Or write to our Data Protection Lead at Data Protection, Christians in Sport, Telford Road Industrial Estate, Bicester, OX26 4LD.

However, where possible we will always try to allow the maximum access to your rights while continuing to deliver as many services to you as possible.

Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds for processing your data for other purposes, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests. You have an absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing, or profiling we carry out for direct marketing, at any time.

Photo and Video Policy

1. Why do we take photos?

Christians in Sport takes photos at events which they run for the purpose of informing supporters about the event and for use in future marketing on social media, in print and online.

2. Legal basis for using photos and videos taken at our events

Photos and videos are counted in the GDPR as being personal data.

For staff

Staff of Christians in Sport will need to give consent for a photo to be used in relation to their name, for instance on the website or in our magazine/newsletter.

For over 18s

It is defined as being within our legitimate interests to take photos at any event we run to use in our marketing. Without the ability to use photography we have decided it would not be possible to market what we do.

When people attend a Christians in Sport event, they can reasonably expect a photographer to be present.

A photo will not be used on social media or online alongside a name or tag of an individual, in order to respect their privacy.

Sometimes photographers and filmmakers/videographers will shoot in a public area where people in the background may be captured on camera. It isn’t feasible to get every single person who enters that area to sign a photo release form.

If, for whatever reason, it is necessary to caption the photograph or video with the name of the individual, for example within our magazine, consent will be sought to do this.

For under 18s

For anyone attending a Christians in Sport run event under the age of 18, consent will be sought from the parent/guardian booking them onto the event. If consent is not granted then photos will not be posted publicly and we will do our best to not store any photos of the individual involved on our own private networks.

Consent will be in the form of a box to be ticked or slider to be selected on the booking form, with a link clearly displayed of our Privacy Policy and our Photo and Video Policy.

3. Legal basis for using photos and videos on social media/online

For any photo or video we use on our social media or website, or within a video, we make sure, to our best knowledge that we are adhering to copyright principles.

If you feel we are in breach of copyright please email data​@christiansinsport.org.uk.

Any photo or video in which we are tagged on social media, or which is sent to us in any format, we assume that the photo was taken by the organisation/individual with proper permissions. Where possible, we will check this is the case before posting an image or video on our platforms.

4. Withdrawing consent

An individual captured in an image can withdraw their consent even after having signed the consent form. Any such withdrawal should be in writing.

Once consent is withdrawn, the charity cannot use the relevant images again, but it will not normally be possible to recall documents in which their image has already appeared.

5. Storing photographs and film recordings

All photos or recordings which contain personal data will need to be treated in the same way as personal data held in other formats. They need to be kept securely and disposed of securely when no longer required, in accordance with our guidance on Data Security.

Since photographs may reveal details of the subject's race and ethnic origin they are classified as Sensitive Personal Data. Generally photographs should only be used and retained where strictly necessary.
