What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
If you communicate with us using a contact form on our site we will record the ip address the message was sent from. This is done to protect our site from email spam and intrusion attempts.
We will also collect your name, email address, and any comments you left, with the sole purpose of replying to your message.
Cookies
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We log all access requests to evaluate site performance and to gather demographic data on where traffic to our site originates. Among the data that is recorded is your IP address, the operating system your computer uses, the browser software you use, the page/s you request and the country or region you are sending your request from. No personally identifiable information is recorded.
Who we share your data with
Your data is only used to provide services you have requested. It may be passed from the club officer who receives your request to the most appropriate individual to respond to your query. No personally identifiable information is held on our server longer than necessary to comply with your request.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How we protect your data
All data resides on commercially hosted servers which are in GDPR compliance. All financial transactions are completed through a third-party payment service. No financial information is held on our servers. All information held on our servers is accessible only by SWYC administrators.
