Privacy policy

Version: 10-4-2021

This privacy policy will explain how US Beat It uses personal data we collect from you when you use our sign-up forms. US Beat It distinguishes four categories within the association concerning data storage: members, alumni, old members and external attendees. Old members are persons who were a US Beat It member in the past but did not actively sign-up to become an alumni of US Beat It. External attendees are for example persons from other squash societies who join our tournaments.

    Members

    This data is preserved so that the association can inform members about activities, characterise the member population and send out birthday and Christmas cards. Because US Beat It has an agreement with Sports Centre Olympos the names and membership status are kept and shared with Olympos. To ensure the safety and rights of our members regarding privacy there is an agreement with Sport Centre Olympos regarding the transfer of personal data. Pictures are stored for promotional purposes and for the members, alumni, old-members and relevant external attendees to look at.

Additionally, names are used to register payment for Beat It activities.
