Review by April 2019

APPENDIX A – LEGITIMATE INTERESTS ASSESSMENT

Data for club members (excluding junior memberships) is held for the Legitimate Interests of managing the members’ club and satisfies the following criteria

1. The Purpose Test

Why do you want to process the data and what are you seeking to achieve? – Efficient Management of the Club, to maintain the club’s status as a “Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC)”and to protect the data subjects interests (e.g. through medical data, identifying next of kin)

Who benefits from the processing and in what way? – The members benefit directly through access to improved club facilities at a lower cost than would be required without using technology.

Are there any wider public benefits to the processing? – The wider community benefits associated with CASC status.

What would be the impact of non-availability? – It is the Cub’s view that there is no viable alternative.

Would your use of data be unethical or unlawful in any way? – No. The Club’s practices are standard throughout UK golf clubs.

2. The Necessity Test

Does this process actually help to further that interest – Yes. It enables containment of subscriptions through reduced management costs.

Is it reasonable? – Yes. It is standard procedure amongst golf clubs.

Is there any less intrusive alternative? – Not as we can see.

3. The Balancing Test

What is the nature of your interest with the individual? – Leek Golf Club Ltd is a non-profit Company Ltd. by Guarantee which operates as a private members club. Directors are elected by members. Major decisions require members’ approval at a General Meeting.

Is any of the data particularly sensitive or private? – A small number of members support training and development of children’s golf and have clearance under child protection following Disclosure Application. Copies of these Applications are retained by the Club. Those involved are made fully aware of the process and have consented. No objection from those involved is anticipated.

A small number of members are in receipt of a subscriptions concession on the grounds of affordability. Applications for the concession are renewable annually and retained by the club whilst effective. Details are not processed or stored electronically. No objection from those involved is anticipated.

With regard to members who resign and leave the Club, data is only retained to allow the Club Accounts to be completed for the financial year of their last subscription and allow them to resume their membership in the future.

4. Children’s Data

Children’s data is not processed under the Legitimate Interests reason. Consent of a parent or guardian will be obtained to hold data in respect of any junior member.

5. Opt Out

It is the Club’s view that it would be impractical to offer any opt-out arrangements as it would result in multiple systems and alternative processes.
