Privacy Policy

Introduction

Brentford FC Community Sports Trust (charity number 1112784) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

References to “we”, “us” and “our” in this policy are all references to Brentford FC CST.

We aim to be clear when we collect your data and not do anything you wouldn’t reasonably expect.

By April 2018, we will be moving to an ‘opt-in only’ communication policy. This means that we will only send marketing communications to those that have explicitly stated that they are happy for us to do so via their preferred channel(s) (email, SMS, phone or post).

Our marketing communications include information about our new projects, case studies and opportunities to get involved with the Trust. If you would like to receive such communications but have not opted in please contact us on 0208 8326 7030 or at communications@brentfordfccst.com

Where we collect information about you from:

When you give it to us DIRECTLY:

You may give us your information in order to sign up for one of our projects, subscribe to our e-newsletter, buy one of our soccer schools or football development programmes or, to generally communicate with us.

When you give it to us INDIRECTLY:

Your information may be shared with us by partner organisations. These independent third parties will only do so when you have indicated that you wish to be contacted by Brentford FC CST and with your consent.

We also collect information about you from Brentford FC for community matchday tickets. We will only contact you about offer events and projects if you have provided us with your explicit consent.

You should check their Privacy Policy when you provide your information to understand fully how they will process your data.

Social Media:

When you use social media platforms, and if you have opted in to receive our marketing, you may receive advertising that is specifically tailored to your needs. This is known as ‘targeted advertising’ and will relate Brentford FC CST projects only. You will not receive any other types of targeted advertising because we will not pass your information on to any other social media groups. If you want to stop receiving notifications about Brentford FC CST services via social media platforms, please visit the security settings within the specific platform to amend your settings.

Cookies:

Like most websites, we use “cookies” to help us make our site – and the way you use it – better. Cookies mean that a website will remember you. They’re small text files that sites transfer to your computer (or phone or tablet). They make interacting with a website faster and easier – for example by automatically filling your name and address in text fields. There are more details in our Cookie Policy, which you can find here.

In addition, the type of device you’re using to access our website or apps and the settings on that device may provide us with information about your device, including what type of device it is, what specific device you have, what operating system you’re using, what your device settings are, and why a crash has happened. Your device manufacturer or operating system provider will have more details about what information your device makes available to us.
