KOP HILL CLIMB (KHC) PRIVACY POLICY

Background.

On 25 May 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force. This will operate across the EU and it supplements the existing Data Protection Act (DPA). More about the GDPR and its relationship to the DPA can be found on the website of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/ The ICO is the body responsible for implementing the legislation.

The general thrust of the GDPR is to give extra duties to organisations, such as KHC, which hold personal data and extra safeguards to those members of the public, such as KHC Entrants, Spectators, Event Volunteers, Event Organisers and Suppliers whose personal data is held. Organisations (KHC) holding personal data are called Data Controllers.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain how KHC obtains and manages personal data for which it is Data Controller as well as to set out its general approach to privacy and compliance with the GDPR.
