The club committee approved an updated club privacy statement on 4th December 2023.

The club’s privacy statement is our public statement on which member data we collect and why we collect it. The statement specifies the legal bases under which we process different categories of member data and the reasons we process the data under each legal basis.

The section on social media, messaging and online platforms has been updated to include the club’s WhatsApp Community, in which members participate on the understanding that their mobile phone number is visible.

“In signing up to the Wimbledon Windmilers WhatsApp Community you agree to share your personal data with WhatsApp (please see their privacy terms at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/) and the club, including your name and mobile number. The club will only use your personal data for the purpose of administering this Community.  You should be aware that your personal data will be viewable by other WhatsApp Group participants and, for the purposes of managing the Club’s WhatsApp Community, all WhatsApp Community Administrators will have visibility of the phone numbers of all Community participants on their devices.”

Anne Davies, Secretary, Wimbledon Windmilers
