Data
Mid Sussex Hockey Club (through the use of Pitchero) gathers personal data to help the club operate.
We only gather a minimal set that we believe helps us operate appropriately and efficiently.
We do not share this data outside of approved club members.
We protect this data by use of the controls within Pitchero, and primarily providing access to the minimum set of club members as possible.
Club members that have access to personal data will have been DBS checked.

Refreshing Data
You will be asked annually (upon membership renewal) to refresh your data to ensure it is current.
It is your responsibility to keep the data accurate so that we can manage your membership and playing experience effectively. You can update this anytime you need.
If you are not renewing membership for the season, please remove yourself from the club if you no longer wish to engage with us.

Club Update
The club annually reviews membership records and will remove members we believe are no longer a valid member of the club. If we have removed a record by mistake, simply request to become a member again.

When you complete the membership application you will be asked to confirm if taking photographs is allowed. The relevant policy can be found here:

Outside of this, you may optionally join WhatsApp groups to assist in team communications. This data is protected as per the terms of WhatsApp use and is outside the control of Mid Sussex HC.
