WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal Data is information that makes it possible to identify a natural person. This includes in particular, your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address, but also your IP address. Anonymous data exists if no personal reference to the user can be made.

We will only use your Personal Data in accordance with the UK’s Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and of course only as described in this Privacy Policy.

WHO IS THE DATA CONTROLLER?

A “data controller” is a person or organisation who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data is, or is likely to be, processed. In this sense, OBX Gym Limited of Appledram Barns, Birdham Road, Chichester, PO20 7EQ ​(“OBX Boxing Gym”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is the data controller.

This is information about you that you give to us by filling in forms on our website (or other forms that we ask you to complete), or when you use our services, or make a booking, or correspond with us by telephone, post, email or otherwise. It may include, for example, your name, address, email address and telephone number; information about your business relationship with us; and information about your requirements, background and interests.

The legal basis is your consent as well as our legitimate interest.

We and BoxFit process various data within the framework of the purchase and for the initiation and processing of the existing contractual relationship between you and us.

We process and publish photographs of our staff members on our website. Said photographs may include a) photos where no one can be identified; b) photos of crowds; c) photos of individuals and posed groups. While we do not require a legal basis for photographs where no one can be identified, the legal basis for processing photos of crowds is our legitimate interest and the processing of photos of individuals and posed groups is based on consent. In case of the latter, when you approve the publication your consent is obtained.

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are pieces of information that are transmitted from our web server or third-party web servers to your web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies may be small files or other types of information storage. As set out in the UK`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), we need to obtain consent for the use of Non-essential Cookies.

DATA PROCESSING THROUGH THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We use content or service offers of third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests in order to integrate their content and services (“content”). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content.

The following provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, together with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on the processing of data and so-called opt-out measures, if any: a) Hosting: Hostinger; b) Content Management System (CMS): WordPress.Org (OpenSource); c) Cookie Consent Tool: CookieYes; and d) Maps: Google Maps by Google.

HOW WILL WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We may collect, store and use your Personal Data for the following purposes:

  • to operate, manage, develop and promote our business and, in particular, our relationship with you and related transactions including, for example:

    • marketing purposes (when we have either gathered prior opt-in consent and/or have a legitimate interest to send you communications which we believe to be relevant and of use to you);

    • accounting and billing / payment purposes;

    • to operate, administer and improve our website and other aspects of the way in which we conduct our operations;

    • to offer you our services;

    • to provide you with services or information that you may have requested; and

    • to keep you informed and updated on relevant or services you may be interested in.

  • to protect our business from fraud, money-laundering, breach of confidence, theft of proprietary materials and other financial or business crimes;

  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and bring and defend legal claims and assert legal rights; and

  • if the purpose is directly connected with an assigned purpose previously made known to you.

We will only process your Personal Data as necessary so that we can pursue the purposes described above and where we have a legal basis for such processing. Where our lawful basis for processing is that such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, we will only process your Personal Data where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override our legitimate interest. In exceptional circumstances we may also be required by law to disclose or otherwise process your Personal Data.

DATA SHARING

In certain cases, it is necessary to transmit the processed Personal Data in the course of data processing. In this respect, there are different recipient bodies and categories of recipients.

a) Internal

If necessary, we transfer your Personal Data within OBX Boxing Gym. Access to your Personal Data is only granted to authorised employees who need access to the data due to their job, e.g., to provide our services or to contact you in case of queries.

We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.

SOCIAL MEDIA

We are present on social media (Facebook and Instagram) on the basis of our legitimate interest. If you contact or connect with us via social media, we and the relevant social media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of your data and enter into a so-called joint controller agreement. The Personal Data collected when contacting us is to handle your request and the bases are both your consent and our legitimate interest.

When you visit our social media profiles, we, as the operator of the profile, process your actions and interactions with our profile (e.g., the content of your messages, enquiries, posts or comments that you send to us or leave on our profile or when you like or share our posts) as well as your publicly viewable profile data (e.g., your name and profile picture). Which Personal Data from your profile is publicly viewable depends on your profile settings, which you can adjust yourself in the settings of your social media account. The legal basis is our legitimate interest and your consent.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We will delete your Personal Data when we no longer need such Personal Data, for instance where:

  • it is no longer necessary for us to retain your Personal Data to fulfil the purposes for which we had collected it;

  • we believe that your Personal Data that we hold is inaccurate; or

  • in certain cases where you have informed us that you no longer consent to our processing of your Personal Data.

Sometimes, however there are legal or regulatory requirements which may require us to retain your Personal Data for a specified period, and in such cases we will retain your Personal Data for such specified period; and we may need to retain your Personal Data for certain longer periods in relation to legal disputes, and in such cases we will retain it for such longer periods to the extent required.

DATA SECURITY

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us.
