By using this website or the app you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree to them, please do not use this website or the app.

Who this website is for

This website and the connectMyClub app are provided to clubs and their members as a platform for managing club membership, communications and related activities. Your club decides which of its members and officials may access it, and for what purposes.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity carried out using your account.
You must give accurate information when you register or update your details, and tell your club if anything changes.
We may suspend or close an account that we reasonably believe is being used in breach of these terms, or at your club's request.

Club data and your data

The club that runs this website is responsible for the membership data it collects and how it is used; connectMyClub processes that data on the club's behalf. This is explained further in our Privacy Policy, linked at the bottom of this website. Payments for memberships, events or shop purchases are handled by Stripe and/or GoCardless under their own terms.

Acceptable use

When using this website or the app, you must not:

use it for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that breaches any applicable law or regulation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, data or system, or interfere with the operation of the service;
upload or share content that is abusive, defamatory, infringes someone else's rights, or is otherwise inappropriate for a club environment;
use any data accessed through this website or the app for a purpose other than that for which it was made available to you.

Intellectual property

The connectMyClub name, logo, software and website design are owned by Arden:Twenty or its licensors and may not be copied, reproduced or used without our permission. Content that belongs to your club, such as its logo, photos and text, remains the property of your club.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep this website and the app available and working correctly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the service, or these terms, at any time. Where a change is significant, we will try to give reasonable notice.

Liability

We provide this website and the app with reasonable care and skill, but to the extent permitted by law we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of them. Nothing in these terms limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so, for example for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

Ending access

Your access to this website and the app ends when your club removes you as a member, or when your club's use of connectMyClub ends. We may also suspend or end access for breach of these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.

This website and the connectMyClub app are provided by Arden:Twenty (trading as connectMyClub), a company registered in England and Wales with number 10922374, whose registered office is at Accountancy House, Priory Road, Kenilworth, England, CV8 1LL. This policy explains how personal data is handled when you use this website or the app, who is responsible for it, and what your rights are.

Who is responsible for your data

There are two parts to this.

Your membership data. The club that runs this website decides what membership information it collects and how it is used, so the club is the data controller. This includes your contact details, date of birth, emergency contacts, any health information you choose to give, and your membership and payment records. connectMyClub stores and processes this data on the club's behalf as a data processor, under a written agreement and only on the club's instructions. The club's own privacy statement, linked at the bottom of this website, explains how it uses your data.
Running the website and app. connectMyClub is the data controller for the limited technical data needed to run, secure and improve this website and the app, as described below.

Data taken out of connectMyClub by your club

Club officers can export or copy member data from connectMyClub, for example as a spreadsheet, printout or screenshot, to enter races or run sessions. Once data leaves connectMyClub, the club is responsible for it. We ask every club to explain how it handles this in its own privacy statement.

What connectMyClub collects as controller

Technical data when you visit this website or use the app, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and times of access. We use this to keep the service secure, fix faults and understand how it is used.
Login and security records, such as when you sign in and changes made to your account, so we can protect accounts and investigate problems.
Anything you send us directly, such as a support request.
Cookies, as set out in the Cookie Policy linked at the bottom of this website.

Our lawful basis for this is our legitimate interest in providing a secure, working service. Where cookies are not strictly necessary, we only set them with your consent.

Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We use a small number of service providers to run connectMyClub, each acting under contract and only for the purpose stated:

[Hosting provider name], which hosts our servers in [location].
Postmark, which sends email on behalf of connectMyClub and your club.
Stripe and GoCardless, which process membership and event payments. They also handle payment details under their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose data where the law requires it.

Transfers outside the UK

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as [the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement]. You can contact us for more detail.

How long we keep data

Membership data is kept and deleted in line with your club's instructions and its retention policy.
Technical logs are kept for [30 days] unless needed to investigate a security issue.
Support correspondence is kept for [2 years].

How we protect your data

We use encrypted connections, access controls and an audit trail of changes to protect the data we hold. Access to member data inside connectMyClub is limited to the club officers your club authorises. If a personal data breach is likely to put your rights at high risk, we will work with your club to tell you without undue delay.

Your rights

You have the right to:

ask for a copy of your personal data
have inaccurate data corrected
have your data deleted in certain circumstances
restrict or object to how your data is used
receive your data in a portable format
withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it

These requests are free and we will respond within one month. For your membership data, please contact your club first, as it decides how that data is used. We will help your club respond. For anything else, contact us at hello@connectmy.club.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please contact us first at hello@connectmy.club. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and keep you updated on the outcome. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when the way we handle data changes, and show the date of the latest version below.
