Your Data
When you join Southend Wheelers, we collect your name, address, date of birth, e-mail address and telephone number(s). You are also advised to supply an emergency name and contact number. Details of current members are securely shared to various committee members to allow them to fulfil their roles within the club. As we are British Cycling affiliated club, your e-mail address will be entered into the British Cycling club portal to enable you to receive e-mails detailing forthcoming club activities. Only a restricted list of club committee members has access to this data, and it is only used to keep you updated with club activities. Your data is not shared with any third parties, unless you choose to enter any activity such as racing that requires some of your data to be shared with a third party such as a racing governing body.
Details of lapsed members will not be kept for more than 3 years, excepting any race, time trial or other event report or results that have been published online, in printed form or in local press will not be removed. Race and Time Trial results and award winners remain a permanent record of club history and include names and racing categories*.

Publishing Your Data - racing and time trialling
If you enter any race or time trial, your name and racing category* will be published in the results, league tables and potentially in any race report. The locations that data is published varies according to the type of event. In addition to the details below, reports of any event may be submitted to the local press and/or published on the open facebook page and/or included in any end-of-season review, club awards or handbooks. Your name and Racing Category will also be sent to the CTT (Cycling Time Trials) as part of the levies paid.

Club Events - your name and racing category* will be published on the club website and closed facebook page. Club events such as the Road Race Championship and Track Championship may also require that your details be shared with the governing body and/or event insurer.

Inter-club and shared events - Some events advertised to club members, including those that form part of the annual leagues and awards, are run in-conjunction with or totally by other clubs. Your name and racing category* will be included in their publications.

Open Events - Some events advertised to club members, including those that form part of the annual leagues and awards, are run by other clubs and/or in-conjunction with bodies such as BC (British Cycling), ECCA (Eastern Counties Cycling Association), CTT (Cycling Time Trials), VTTA (Veteran Time Trialling Association), TLI (TLI Cycling) or BMCR (British Masters Cycle racing, formerly the LVRC [League of Veteran Racing Cyclist]). If you enter these events, your name and racing category* will be passed to and published by the relevant governing body and/or organising club.
