We collect your personal information directly from you – for example, through the booking of a resource (block bookings, booking a court, etc.), booking a course or lessons (coaching), purchasing or renewing membership or booking an activity or event. We will collect the data to enable us to deal with your enquiry or provide you with the relevant services.
We may also collect information from someone else acting on your behalf – for example where a parent or guardian has purchased a membership or course for a child.
We also use cookies and collect IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the interest).
We may sometimes collect information from third parties, such as the LTA.
We also collect certain personal data by automated means such as CCTV monitoring.
On rare occasions, we may receive information about you from others who are not acting on your behalf (for example, where someone makes a complaint about you which we then investigate).
By creating it ourselves, for example when we produce match reports from watching players compete at events.
5 Our basis for processing personal data and the purposes for which we use it
Performance of contracts
To perform the services you have requested on acceptance of the terms and conditions of the GTC and any other agreements which we enter into with you from time to time. For example to:
- process court or other resource bookings
- process membership transactions
- process coaching sessions, course and programme bookings
- set up and process competition data
- set up coaches or volunteers to run coaching programmes
- process Wimbledon LTA Ballot entries (your entries are only shared with the LTA if you are successful in obtaining tickets through the club ballot)

Compliance with our legal obligations
In some cases, we need to process your personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations, for example we need to process your personal data in order to comply with health and safety legislation, assist with investigations by police and/or other competent authorities.
Legitimate interests
In other cases, the GTC has ‘legitimate interests’ in processing personal information about individuals we interact with. We have many such interests, including commercial interests and those with a wider public benefit. For example, we need to process personal data in pursuit of our legitimate interests in order to organise competitions and major events, and process and publish results and ensure the security of GTC premises, including capturing individuals’ images using CCTV monitoring. Where the GTC relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing personal data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the individuals whose data are being processed and concluded that the processing is, on balance, fair.
Consent
The GTC may also process your personal data on the basis of consent you give, for example to send you certain direct marketing communications, sending you club news and details of GTC events.
Processing special categories of data
Special categories of sensitive data such as medial information requires higher levels of protection. We need to have further justification for collecting, storing and using this type of personal information. The provision of medical information is optional, and we only process this personal information where it is required by a venue or coach to improve your user experience of the course, session or programme provided.
6 Who we may share your data with
Personal information collected and processed by GTC may be shared with the following recipients, or categories of recipients, where necessary:
Someone acting on your behalf, for example a parent or guardian who has purchased Membership, coaching course or programmes for you as their child.
Competition organisers and officials involved in competitions you are taking part in.
Our suppliers, where they process data on your behalf; For example payment providers ACTDEB who process your membership payments and Omakisoft who GTC uses as a provider for our Club Management software.
Typically, the GTC will not transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). On the limited occasions when this does occur (for example, because your personal data is stored on an IT system hosted outside of the EEA), we ensure that any such transfer meets the requirements of GDPR, for example because it is necessary for the provision of our products or services to you or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal data when it is transferred outside the EEA by contacting us using the details below.
7 How long we will store your data
We may retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this privacy notice. We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, including the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirement of the data controller. To determine the relevant retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purpose for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Once you terminate your membership, your personal data will be deleted, suppressed or anonymised, as applicable, save that we will retain comprehensive details of player rankings, ratings and results for archiving purposes in the public interest, or historical or statistical purposes.
