Privacy Policy
 

Last update: June 2023.

This policy sets out how SquashLevels Limited (registered number 09746300 whose registered office is at Glenavon Park, Bristol, United Kingdom, BS9 1RW) (“SquashLevels”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects and uses any personal data we collect or receive about you, why we collect and use your personal data, who we might share this information with and your rights in relation to your personal data.

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy complying with our obligations under the general data protection regulation (“GDPR”) and all other laws relevant to the handling of your personal data. We are a data controller for the purposes of GDPR (meaning that we are responsible for deciding how your personal data is used).

When we refer to “personal data”, we are referring to any information which can directly or indirectly identify you, as explained more fully below.

The team behind SquashLevels has always taken data privacy very seriously with the following guiding principles:

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU OR RECEIVE FROM THIRD PARTIES

  • Information that you provide to us – this may include any of the following types of personal data which you provide to us when you sign-up to be a SquashLevels subscriber, enquire about your rankings/ratings or otherwise when you communicate or interact directly with us:
    • Identity Data - first name, last name, gender, images of you, username or other user identifier, date of birth, nationality;
    • Contact Data – your phone numbers, email address and postal address;
    • Financial Data – bank or payment card details and details of any purchases you make through SquashLevels (note we use PayPal and Stripe and do not hold any card details on the SquashLevels servers); and
    • Profile Data – includes your squash performance information including match results to generate ratings and rankings, squash club, leagues and association information, T-shirt size;
    • Marketing and Communication Data – this includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences; and where you may also provide feedback to SquashLevels through surveys or feedback forms.
  • Information that we collect about you – when you visit the SquashLevels website we automatically collect the following types of personal data, using usage tracking, cookies or other similar technologies. Please review our Cookies Policy for further information.
    • Technical Data – this might include your IP address, account log-in information, browser information, location information, operating system and system configuration, network and software identification and device information; and
    • Usage Data – this includes information about how you use the SquashLevels website, such as pages visited, click throughs, time spent on page, etc.
  • Information that we receive about you from others – we may receive information about you when you use our connected platforms such as World or National Governing Bodies of Squash, operators of League/Tournament Management systems (see further below), or from other relevant third parties, including your squash club, your county or regional squash and racketball associations, and from other public and publicly-available sources (provided in each case that the collection, transfer to, and use by, SquashLevels is lawful). The information which we collect or receive from these third parties may include any or all of the above types of information. If we receive information from third parties we may combine this with information that we currently hold about you and process such combined information for the purposes set out below.

In addition to the above, please note that we may use and share aggregated data (such as demographic data). This may have originally generated from your personal data but is not treated as personal data under GDPR (as it doesn’t individually identify you). On such basis, we can use this data for any purpose. If this aggregated data is ever combined with other data in such a way that you can be personally identified, we will only use that data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

It is important that the information we hold about you is accurate. Please keep us informed of any changes to your personal information.

Special category data - sometimes we may ask you to provide the following types of personal data, which are seen as more sensitive and are therefore afforded greater protection under GDPR. Prior to collecting and using any such data, we will obtain explicit consent from you (unless we have another legal basis for collecting and using this information) and will only use this data for the following purposes (or such other purposes as are explained to you at the time of collection):

  • Injuries and other medical data - this may be collected by us directly from you or via your club or through your county, regional or national association e.g. through a tournament withdrawal form. It will be used to assist with tournament results and rankings information and (anonymously) for statistical and reporting purposes.
  • Ethnicity data - this will be used to identify and keep under review equality of opportunity within SquashLevels and (anonymously) for statistical and reporting purposes.
  • Disability data - this will be used to identify and keep under review equality of opportunity within SquashLevels and (anonymously) for statistical and reporting purposes.

Before we proceed with any such transfer, we will ensure that we have a legal ground for doing so and have made sure that all adequate protections are in place. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK or EEA.
