Billy Sharp Football Academy – Privacy Notice
​
Billy Sharp Football Academy (BSFA) is a kids football coaching and sports company and everything we do is about improving the lives of children through sport. We are not a multi- national or data-hungry PLC, but a humble local business that only captures and retains data to keep our members up to date on services to which they have subscribed.
​
We are publishing this Privacy Notice so our customers, clients and suppliers are informed about what we hold, why we hold it and how you can enact your rights under the Data Protection Act. This Privacy Notice has been updated to reflect your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) effective from 25th May 2018. This regulation supersedes the Data Protection Act of 1988 and will form the basis of the Data Protection Act 2018 once it comes into effect.
​
The categories of this information that we collect, process, hold and share includes:
Personal data such as names and contact details will be held to allow BSFA to provide services to its regular and ad hoc customers. We may use your information to contact you for the marketing of services including weekly classes, special family events and holiday camps. Your information will not be sold or shared with partner companies or third parties.
​
Why we collect and use this information
​
We use this information for:
• Regulatory purposes including tax records and HMRC Audit.
• For communication with our clients during the delivery of services and postlapse of
membership where holiday camps may be of interest.
• Processing of invoices, resourcing, shift patterns and timekeeping
​
The lawful basis on which we use this information
We collect and use this information under the requirements stated by the HMRC and UK Government: https://www.gov.uk/running-a-limited-company/company-and-accounting- records
​
Collecting this information
Almost all the personal information you provide to us is mandatory to comply with FA safeguarding regulations in the interests of child welfare. Some data that we ask for is optional and other than emergency contact details you are within your rights to abstain from disclosing this information to us. To comply with the data protection legislation, we will inform you whether you are required to provide certain information to us or if you have a choice in this.
​
Storing this information
Our data retention policy is to store financial and tax related records for 6 complete tax years + the current tax year. i.e. up to 7 years as a maximum. An example of this is removing or masking names and addresses from our contacts database but retaining a parent and children ID numbers on our invoices so that we can still identify tax records.
​
Who we share this information with
We do not share this information with other companies, but our third-party cybersecurity providers, systems administrators and accounting firms do have access to financial records. As UK law requires invoices to contain items such as name & address, these companies do have controlled and restricted access to some personal information.
