We are firmly committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. When you use this website or submit information to us, we act as the data controller. This means that we are responsible for keeping your information private and secure. We may then pass this information onto trusted third part partners, known as data processors. These partners may use and securely store your information as detailed below. These companies may also be data controllers themselves, with their own strict privacy policies in place.
This Privacy Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about visitors to this website. We also detail how we use that information, how we keep it private and secure, and also any conditions under which we may disclose it to others. We will only ever collect and use your information responsibly.
By using this website, you are agreeing to be bound by this Privacy Policy and to our Terms of Use.
If you have any questions about our privacy policy or what information we may collect, please email clive@ntsnooker.com.
What type of information do we collect?
We collect two types of information from you. This is anonymous usage data, such as how you use the website and what pages you visit, as well as personal information, such as your email address and name.
a) Anonymous usage data
Anonymous usage data cannot be used to identify you, but tells us how you behave on this website. This will include your IP address (the unique address which identifies your computer on the Internet).
b) Personal Information
We collect names, email address and telephone numbers of players and in some cases Venues, to enable players to contact each other in order to arrange matches.
This information is stored on a database that is password protected. Where email addresses and telephone numbers appear on this website, they are Obfuscated, rendering them difficult to read by other computers.
We do not collect any information that might highlight especially private details, such as race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
How do we collect information from you?
We obtain information from you when you submit said information to the Northampton Snooker League, such as when registering players or submitting match results.
How is your information used?
We will only use personal data when the law allows us to, and we will never use any information we gather for marketing purposes. We will never assume your consent for marketing.
You may receive transactional emails from us, such as announcements for league meetings and the like. These will only ever be emails that are informational in nature.
We will also use your data where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Other uses for your data may also be used to help us:
How to unsubscribe from emails
If at any time you want to stop receiving emails from Northampton Snooker League, simply email clive@ntsnooker.com and your email address will be removed.
Using your data for analytics
In order to develop this website we keep a track of which pages on this website are visited most frequently and how long visitors spend on this website. We use this information to help improve the website.
We are not able to gather other information from your disk or computer. We use full SSL protocols when collecting visitor information on secure pages; this ensures that the website’s security is not compromised. We encrypt all transmitted visitor information so no one else can read the information we gather.
None of the analytical information can be traced to an individual – we do not know who you are as a unique user, merely that there are a certain number of people using the website. We only collect data that relates to how this website is used, and the information cannot be used for marketing on an individual basis.
Who has access to your information?
We will never sell or rent your information to third parties, nor will we share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
How to access and update your information
We always try to maintain the most up-to-date information about you on our records. If you change email address or want us to update or remove any other information we have about you (including the option to completely delete your details), please email clive@ntsnooker.com with your request. You can also request a full record of all data we have stored that relates to you. Depending on the nature of your request, this may take up to 28 days to process.
For more information about your legal rights regarding privacy and your data, please visit the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/for-the-public/personal-information. Alternatively, we would be happy to answer any questions on this subject via email on clive@ntsnooker.com. Please note that depending on the complexity of your request, it might take up to 28 days to answer your query.
You have the right to:
If you contact us with a query that requires altering your data or accessing order information, we may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask for further information in relation to any requests you submit to us in order to speed up our response.
How we secure your data
There are several measures in place to ensure that all personal information you give us is secured to protect your privacy. All website usage is encrypted and protected by a 256-bit SSL encryption. Pages protected with this encryption will display a small green padlock icon in the web address bar, usually found to the left of the web page address.
Any information we receive from you is stored securely with one of our third party service providers who specialise in data security.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
How long do we store your data?
We store all data for a minimum of six years. This is the standard length of time that we are required to hold specific data, such as purchase information, for the purpose of audits by official bodies, such as HMRC. If you would like any identifying information about you removed within this time period, please contact clive@ntsnooker.com to action your request.
Some of your data might be stored for much less than six years. Similarly, some of your data might be anonymised for use with future research and other applications, in which case the data can be kept for longer than six years.

This website may contain links to other websites that are operated and run by third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to www.ntsnooker.com and does not extend to any other website. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and other practices of external websites, even if you originally accessed them from a link that appeared on this website.
This also applies if you arrived at this website via a link from another website: the privacy policy and practices of the original website do not apply to www.ntsnooker.com. If you ever have any concerns, we would always recommend that you check the privacy policy of any websites where you intend to share personal information.
