About this document

How we collect your information

We may collect your personal data in a few limited ways, namely:

  • Directly from you, when you fill in an application for membership, when you make enquiries on our website, or when you interact with us during your time as a member in various other ways (for example, where you enter a competition, renew your membership, sign up for a course or lessons);
  • From someone else who has applied for membership on your behalf (for example a family member or your tennis coach who has provided us with your contact details for that purpose);
  • From the LTA (for example, where the LTA passes on your details to us in connection with a complaint or query you have raised about our Venue).

The types of information we collect

We may collect the following types of personal data about you:

  • Contact and communications information, including your contact details (including email address (es), telephone numbers and postal address (es) and records of communications and interactions we have had with you);
  • Financial information, including bank account details provided through on-line banking or available on cheques; We may also collect data about your health or medical conditions, where you have volunteered this, for example so that we can cater for you when you attend a Venue social event or a course/camp.

How we use personal data

Personal data provided to us will be used for the purposes set out at the time of collection and, where relevant, in accordance with any preferences you express.
More generally, we will use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Administration of your Venue membership, including:
    Taking payment of membership fees;
    Affiliation to British Tennis to obtain a BTM Membership Number
  • Administration of the Wimbledon ballot;
  • Research and statistical analysis about who is playing tennis in our Venue;
  • Communication about our Venue activities that we think may be of interest to you;
  • Storing your details on our membership database which is password protected.
  • Where this is necessary for our legitimate interests (for example in increasing of our Venue’s facilities and participation in the game generally);
  • Promoting our Venue and promoting goods and services of selected third parties (for example, operators of coaching courses where you have specifically stated you can be contacted for this purpose);

Your marketing preferences

We will always respect your wishes in respect of what type of communications you want to receive from us and how you want to receive them. These will be carefully outlined in the membership form which was revised in 2018. There are some communications, however, that we need to send you regardless of your marketing preferences in order for us to fulfil our contractual obligations to you as a member of our Venue. Examples of these essential service communications are:

  • Records of transactions, such as payment receipts (as applicable).
  • Membership related mailings such as your membership renewal reminder, notices of formal meetings and information about venue closures.

  • Our employees and volunteers, for the purposes of administering your membership and giving you access to the membership benefits to which you are entitled.
  • LTA – to allow members to have BTM numbers and access the privileges of membership plus conferring ability to play in competitive matches.

How long your information is kept

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for each purpose we use it.

  • You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it. You can also withdraw your consent, where this is the basis for our processing your data (without affecting the lawfulness of our previous processing based on consent).
