3.5 Personal information collected when you take part in a 

S.E.N.D session or event 

In order to take part in our S.E.N.D sessions or events, we will need to collect personal information about you. We will collect your name, address, contact details and date of birth. We will also require information related to your disability, condition or illness. Where you provide us with this information, you will have explicitly consented to our use of that information and you will have the right to withdraw consent (explained in section 5.1). This information includes the following personal information, which we refer to as special categories of data: 

  1. a description of your disability, condition or illness; 
  2. confirmation of whether you have the disability, condition or illness; 
  3. the name, if any, of any organisation that supports you, if the name by 

itself, would help identify that there is a disability, condition or illness; 

  1. proof of additional support required, if any, due to your disability, condition or illness;  
  2. any other information relating to your disability, condition or illness that you may provide at the request of PNECET. 

We understand how important special categories of data are, so we will not share the special categories of data for any other purposes other than ensuring your safety at our sessions and events. Where you require additional support, we may need to share the details of your disability, condition or illness with the school/coach/teacher who may liaise with the relevant managers to provide you with support and assistance. We do this to ensure that you are well looked after. Even though you may be in a familiar environment i.e. at your school, college or community centre etc. we want to make sure that you are always safe when at our session or event and we need to be aware of any disability, condition or illness that may require special attention. For example, if you are taken ill during a session, our staff members will need to know that you have a condition or illness so that they can help you efficiently and safely. We will of course ensure that the information disclosed to staff members for this purpose is minimised to the maximum extent possible.  

We will destroy the special categories of data when your session or event has expired or if you haven’t participated with us for three years.  

 

 

3.6 Personal information collected when you attend events on our grounds 

We operate CCTV at our stadium which collects data to help us to maintain a safe environment within the stadium and or offices during events.  We also use the CCTV information for the purposes of security and crime prevention.

We employ photographers on a contractual basis to take photographs of crowd scenes during matchdays. These are used to promote PNECET, in our legitimate interest, on various platforms including the local newspaper, social media and the www.pne.com/pnecet website.   

We will ensure that there are appropriate safeguards in place with these third party contractors to protect your personal information and to ensure that they abide by this privacy policy.

4 Disclosure of personal information 

4.1 We will not usually disclose your personal information other than as already explained in section 2 and 3 above. However, there may be circumstances where we need to share personal information other than as anticipated in Section 2 and 3 above. These include: 

4.1.1 Anonymised statistics relating to the children who participate our sessions are made available to Premier League Charitable Fund (PLCF) through the Views system. In order for PLCF to regularly report back to its funders on the impact and reach of their funding, we are required to submit details relating to the participants that take part in the sessions funded by PLCF, including the levels of engagement of those participants. These details are recorded through the Views system, and PLCF may analyse these details on 

a statistical, anonymised basis only. This information is used in order to feed back to partners and funders in the same way, through statistical, anonymised analysis only. This enables PLCF and its funders to evaluate their programmes, their reach and impact and return on investment, which can be used to make a case to continue funding our work and that of other CCOs. Not having access to this statistical data would mean that an appropriate evaluation of our work could not be carried out, which could lead to a reduction in funding for our work.

4.1.5 disclosure is necessary in the legitimate interests of a third party for 

the purposes of crime prevention and the prosecution of offenders (for example, where the police request to view CCTV footage around the time of an incident or crime);  

4.1.6 disclosure is necessary to protect your vital interests (for example if you are unwell at our premises, we may need to seek medical assistance); 

4.1.7 it is to a third party for the purposes of providing administrative or processing services on our behalf.
