Members and participants in our races should be aware that their names, photos and video may be used to publicise races and achievements, including publishing race and competition results.
We have adopted the UKA Photographic Policy Guidance for the use of photographs
- Neither data protection nor privacy law prevents the taking of photographs or video in public places (including images of people such as athletes, coaches, officials or members of the public) for private or personal use.
- Where images are taken in public places, unless there is something unusually intrusive in the material, there will be only limited restrictions in how such images may subsequently be used.
- There are also particular protections for children (those under 18) in terms of how their image may be reused and published.
- Communicating information using Social media
- We have a public facing and members only social media account in the form of Facebook, Spond and Twitter. These can be used:
- to publicise events such as competitions, social events, club meetings
- share information about the club
- make a call to action
- give updates on previously shared information
- post pictures (see photographic policy above), videos and other content of interest to members
- potential members say, ‘Well done’, ‘Thank you’, or ‘We need your help!’
As you are all aware, anyone can post in social media, however with the GDPR in mind any personal information cannot have originated from any of the CRC pages ie with the official logo as this would be deemed a breach of data privacy and could potentially be referred to the ICO (The information Commissioners Office).
Person to person posts can be deemed as ‘friend to friend’ posts but consideration must be given to the content that has been written to ensure that cyber bullying behaviour is avoid including, for example :
- You do not post abusive messages on any profile wall
- You do not add rude comments to a picture a person has uploaded
- You do not post a video / picture that makes fun of someone
- You do not encourage others to share abusive, rude or disparaging content
- You do not use critical language or actions, such as sarcasm which could undermine an athlete’s self-esteem.
If you believe that cyber bullying has occurred, the following reporting process should be followed:
- In the first instance, the situation should be reported to one of the club committee officers that an athlete has been (cyber) bullying another athlete. In cases of serious bullying, the incidents will be referred to UKA for advice. If necessary and appropriate, police will be consulted.
- The committee will investigate the allegations to ensure any misunderstanding/lack of awareness is addressed. If accepted as bullying, the committee will also attempt to help the bully change their behaviour. If mediation fails and the bully is seen to continue the club committee will initiate disciplinary action under the club constitution
- If the committee agree bullying has taken place the athlete will be warned and put on notice of further action i.e. temporary or permanent suspension. If the bullying continues, consideration will be given as to whether a reconciliation meeting between parties is appropriate at this time.
- This in no way infringes on your right to involve the police at any time, CRC will work with any organisation that requests information regarding cyber bullying. This will be inline with all current legislation.
Protecting your information
By submitting your personal data, you agree to the transfer, storing or processing by CRC. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. The Internet is not generally a secure medium for communication and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us over the Internet.
Committee members by agreement share their email address within the confidentiality of the meetings. We regularly carry out surveys using a doodle poll (https://doodle.com/) but the data collected is within a closed group (CRC) and restricted to name only.
