When you become a member of or renew your membership with RVAC your Athletics Data is processed and used in a number of ways:

Welsh Athletics will contact you to invite you to sign into and update your MyATHLETICS portal details, which, amongst other things, allows you to set and amend your privacy settings.
The first time you login to this website you will also be asked if you consent to RVAC (or a photographer appointed by RVAC) photographing or videoing your involvement in athletics for the duration of your membership for the purposes of publicising and promoting the club or sport, or as a coaching aid. You have the right to refuse this consent.
Any data that we collect from you will be deleted within 4 years of you no longer playing an active part in the sport.

We may share your Athletics Data with athletics partners such as UK Athletics, Welsh Athletics, other Home Country Athletics Organisations, selected members of the National Council, Regional Councils, County Athletics Association and / or Area Athletics Association and third- party data managers that we appoint as data processors as part of administering your involvement in sport. We will not transfer your data to any other third parties without obtaining your consent and, where possible, will anonymise your data before sharing. We will also not share any other personal data you provide to us that is not Athletics Data.
All of the personal data we collect from you will be collected, stored and processed in accordance with the terms of RVAC's Privacy Policy.
