Who we are

Croydon Outdoor Pursuits and Social Events club is a not-for-profit, self-supporting Club run by members for our members on a voluntary basis. We are affiliated to the YHA. This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you use this website.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

When you submit a contact form, we collect your name, email address and message. We will use your name and email address to respond to you. If you are not an existing member, we will not use your data for anything else including marketing.

Entry forms

If you enter into one of our public events e.g. the Gatliff Marathon, we will collect the information you provide on the form including your name, email address, gender (Gatliff), and telephone number. We will use your email address to provide you with details of your entry, and to contact you if we have any questions regarding your entry. We may use the contact numbers you provided during the event if there is an emergency or we are concerned about your safety. The information you provide will be used for the purposes of running the event. If you participate in the Gatliff Marathon, results including your name, gender, club (if provided), distance and time will be published on the website and provided to other participants. Some data will be used to produce general statistics for the event. Photos may be published on the website, in the Gatliff event report and the COPSE members’ magazine.

How long we keep your data for

We will keep the information you submitted through one of our contact forms until we have replied to your request and any resulting conversation has been concluded.

If you have entered into one of our annual events, we will keep all the information you provided for two months after the event. This is to allow us to produce any statistics and provide results and reports to participants. Gatliff Marathon results will be kept indefinitely but the personal data will be limited to your name, gender, time, distance and club if provided. These are kept for statistical purposes and for awards relating to the number of events completed.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have entered one of our annual events, you can request to receive a file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However we may be obliged to keep some data for archival, legal, or security purposes.
