Your Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested. https://chingmo.co.uk/ does not collect or use cookies.

Collection of Personal Information
We collect and process the following data from you:-
Information that you provide when you contact us either via the website or by filling in forms, by telephone, by email, by letter or face to face. We collect and record your contact details so that we may send you information including newsletters.

Information that you voluntarily disclose to us during your contact with us:-

When visiting https://chingmo.co.uk/ the IP address used to access the site will be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is purely used to analyse trends, administer the site, track users’ movement and gather broad demographic information for internal use. Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Why we collect it

We collect data to enable us to register Instructors and students as members of our membership Association and where applicable enable us to apply for personal accident and liability insurance on your behalf and to answer your queries and complaints.

We will process it on the basis of legitimate interest to ensure we are accepting genuine, qualified and experienced Instructors and their students with a minimum of bureaucracy. Such activity will include managing eligibility, ensuring compliance with our Association and national governing body rules and regulations, maintaining records for renewal of memberships and insurances and communicating with Instructors in respect of martial arts news, Association Newsletters, events and Association activities.

In respect of student members we collect data to facilitate membership and determine senior or junior members and associated membership cost and register membership start date and renewal date. This minimum data is required for student insurance cover.

If you are a licensed Instructor we will process your data on the basis of legitimate interest in determining your qualifications, obtaining information about your criminal convictions and offences on the basis of legal obligations, for example regarding working with children and vulnerable adults or to comply with national requirements.

Without the data we collect we would not be able to complete the membership licensing process.

For some of your personal information you will have a legal, contractual or other requirement or obligation for you to provide us with your personal information. If you do not provide us with the requested personal information we may not be able to admit you as a member or we may not be able to properly perform our contract with you or comply with legal obligations and we may have to terminate your position as a member. For other personal information you may not be under an obligation to provide it to us, but if you do not provide it then we may not be able to properly perform our contract with you.

Where you have given us your consent to use your personal information in a particular manner, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, which you may do by contacting us as described in the “Contacting us” section below.

Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal information to the extent that we are entitled to do so, on bases other than your consent. Withdrawing consent may also have the same effects as not providing the information in the first place, for example we may no longer be able to provide certain member benefits to you.

How long will we keep it?

We will retain your data for as long as you are a registered Association member and then delete your data after a lapse of four years after expiry of membership.
The retention period enables us to re-instate a lapsed membership during this period (a common occurrence) and/or enable us to process a Third Party liability claim that may be made against an Instructor or complaint and enable us to confirm a student in question was a members during the period in question.

How we hold the data

Club, Instructor and any associated student data is held in a paper file format secured in locked filing cabinets. Data necessary to enable the application of governing body membership and insurance is held digitally on specific Association databases, together with Instructor contact information
and membership start and renewal dates.
