Where you have consented to us processing your personal information and to us providing you with marketing communications, you are free to withdraw consent at any time, through your account at https://tridentswimming.co.uk
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the provisions of the GDPR, where this is required or permitted by law.

​

Your contact information is used to communicate with you about your sessions including changes to times, renewals or another day to day operational tasks.
​
Improve Our Programmes
We use assessment information to try and improve the experience for our customers. This may be in a way where we use company progression against a company average to ensure high standards are kept, or statistics such as progression rates through your specific programme or your child's programme.
Cookies

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the information you choose to share with us.

5. Your Rights
By law, you have the right to:
Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the accuracy of the information; (b) where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your personal information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party of your choice, your personal information in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Lodge a complaint at any time with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance if unsatisfied with how we have handled your information.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request the erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal information, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact in writing.
6. How Information is Shared
We will not share or disclose your personal information without your consent, other than for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or where the law requires us to do so.
We sometimes need to share your personal information, for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy, as follows:
Partners
Coaches under the employment of Trident Swimming will have access to your data if they have been assigned as your coach so that they have accurate information about their clients, their location and any relevant medical information.
7. Access to Data
Exporting Data
By accessing your profile through https://tridentswimming.co.uk you will have access to most of the account information for your account. To request a copy of your data, please contact the Data Protection Officer via email or post.
Deleting Data
By contacting the Data Protection Officer via email or post you have the facility to delete your account completely. Note that account deletion can only occur when there are no further future services with Trident Swimming.
Please note that identifying information will be deleted within 24 hours. Please also note that once deleted, it may take up to a further 90 days for personal information to be deleted from data backups which are held securely.
8. Data Retention
We will only retain your personal information for as long as you have active bookings with us in order for us to operate your account and to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of correctly track our client's progress history and satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, the applicable legal requirements, and the relevant limitation periods that apply to take any legal action.
You can ask us to stop sending you emails at any time. Where you opt-out of receiving these emails, this will not apply to personal information collected and processed through your use of this website.
9. Children
In line with the importance of ensuring information security for the accounts of children, we require a parent or guardian to authorise the use of their information for us to deliver our services. Children under the age of 16 will be unable to create an account themselves and must have a parent or guardian’s authorisation on their account.
10. Information Security
We work hard to keep your information safe and have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. This includes using Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) to encrypt many of our services through the Wix website provider and ensure that account information is password-protected, and sensitive account information if further protected with 128 bit SSL encryption. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
11. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time, and we will provide you with a new Privacy Policy when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information.
12. Contact Us
