Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) we do not have a statutory requirement to have
a Data Protection Officer. The Management Team is responsible for ensuring that BGCL discharges its
obligations under the GDPR and is responsible for maintaining a log of data breaches and notifying the
ICO and any members affected as necessary, in accordance with our legal obligations.
Who has access to your data? ----- Members of the BGCL admin team members have access to members’ data in order for them to carry out their legitimate tasks for the BGCL, such as responding to enquiries from those members.

How long we keep your data for, and why? ---- We normally keep members’ data after they resign or their membership lapses. This is because we find members sometimes later wish to re-join (occasionally after several months, years, etc.). However, we will delete any former member’s contact details entirely on request. Members details can also be removed if they are expelled from the league.

Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal information to the extent that we are entitled to do so on bases other than your consent. Withdrawing consent may also have the same effects as not providing the information in the first place, for example we may no longer be able to provide certain member benefits to you such as taking part into the representative games, etc.
