7 Bullet Summary

  1. We, as a Data Controller, recognise our responsibility to treat your personal information with the utmost care and to comply with all relevant legislation, in particular the Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  2. We pass the personal data we collect on behalf of an event organiser or club to that event organiser or club so that they can provide you with an event entry or club membership.
  3. The event organiser or club, as Data Controllers in their own right, once in possession of your data, are subject to the same legislation, and we ensure via our Terms and Conditions that they are aware of their key responsibilities.
  4. The event organiser or club may in turn pass the necessary elements of your personal data to other bodies or services providers, but only as necessary in order to provide you with the service on offer. E.g. to a timing company to provide race timing or the sport's National Governing Body where there is a requirement for your membership details to be logged.
  5. All of your payment card details are held separately by our payment service provider Sage Pay and neither Fabian4, the event organisers nor clubs have access to this data.
  6. Basic elements of your personal data (e.g. Name, Gender and Age Class) are likely to appear on start lists, event results and membership lists that are in the public domain.
  7. We will not pass any of your personal data that is not necessary for the delivery of the event entry or membership service to any third party without your explicit permission, except in the case of donations as detailed below. We are confident that the data controllers with whom we work will be compliant with the law in this respect too.

If you would like more details about the data we collect, how it is used, how it is secured, your statutory rights, and more, then carry on reading. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Security

Your Entry Data at the time of entry and when viewed or amended later is protected by 256 bit encryption - see the security certificate associated with the https URL from your web browser when viewing one of our secure pages (note - not this one!).

Access to your entry data is protected by a GUID such as {09355330-DB4F-4198-GA5C-524D731261CF}. Every entry form has it own unique GUID and can only be accessed with the correct GUID relevant to that form.

Our servers, both internal and external are fully protected by secure passwords, firewalls and antivirus software.

Fabian4, as a Data Controller is responsible for your Entry Data while in our possession. Sage Pay, as another Data Controller, is responsible for your Financial Data.

All Data Controllers are subject to the same Data Protection legislation, namely the Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
