4 How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data if the law allows us to and for the performance of our services. More specifically:
- If you register via a registration form as a volunteer or crew member. For this we process the following personal data: first and last name, email address, telephone number, gender, date of birth and any special categories such as shirt size, diet, passport data;
- When you register for our newsletter. If you have given us explicit permission, we will use your email address to regularly send our newsletter. At the bottom of every newsletter you will find a link to unsubscribe at any time. You can also unsubscribe at any time by sending an email to info@sportstalenthouse.com. We process the following personal data for the newsletter: first and last name, e-mail address, IP address;
- If you navigate to one of the related websites or products, such as the various event pages of Sports Talent House or the newsletter registration via MailChimp;
- If you contact us via the contact page. For this we process the following personal data: first and last name, e-mail address, IP address and any information provided by yourself in the explanation.
4.1 Marketing / Newsletter
We would like to keep you informed of our new events, products and initiatives. Remember that Sports Talent House has a strict “opt-in” policy for people who are not (yet) a participant and / or customer.
The newsletter can only be received by the data subject if: (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, an email will be sent for the first time to the email address entered by a data subject for sending newsletters using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address has authorized the receipt of the newsletter as a person.
That means that if you are not a participant / customer, we will not send newsletters or information unless you have requested to receive these updates. This data is not sold to third parties.
So where you are already a participant / customer, we will keep you informed of our new events, initiatives and products and offer you an easy way to unsubscribe from our newsletter if you wish. If at any time you would like to be removed from our direct list and you do not wish to receive further information from us, you can do so by:
- To let us know by clicking on the link at the bottom of every email communication you receive from us via the link we provide;
- Or via the e-mail address: privacy@sportstalenthouse.com, stating from which email list you wish to be removed.
4.2 Newsletter tracking
The newsletters from Sports Talent House contain so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a thumbnail image embedded in the emails sent in HTML format to enable logging and analysis of log files. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the built-in pixel, Sports Talent House can detect whether and when an email was opened by a person concerned and which links in the email were called by the person concerned. Such personal data collected through the counting pixels in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by Sports Talent House to optimize the delivery of the newsletter and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the person concerned. This personal information is not disclosed to third parties.
4.3 Change of target
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably assume that we need to use it for another reason and that the reason is compatible with the original purpose. Please contact us if you would like an explanation of how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose.
We will never use your personal data for other purposes without your permission.
Please note that under certain circumstances we may process your personal data without your knowledge or permission, if required by law.
