BEC is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is designed to help you to understand what kind of information we collect in connection with our products and services and how we process and use such information. Throughout this Policy the term “personal data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (i.e. a natural person).
You acknowledge and agree that your personal data collected may be used in accordance with this Policy by BEC, which will be regarded as data controllers in respect of such data.
This Policy applies to personal data collected in connection with products and services offered by BEC or from other interactions with us where a link or other appropriate reference of incorporation to this Policy is made, for example, in connection with our products, websites, applications and other types of services offered by BEC typically in electronic form, as well promotions and campaigns.
Where a consent from you to the processing of personal data described in this Policy is required under the applicable law, such consent will be obtained by appropriate mechanism such as ticking a box stating your consent, choosing technical settings for a service or website, or other statement or conduct clearly indicating your acceptance to the processing, depending on the product, website, service or application you are using.
2. DATA COLLECTED
We collect your personal data typically when you purchase our products or services, use or register into our services, enter into a sales promotion or a campaign, or otherwise interact with us. Below are examples of the categories of the data we collect on you.
Technical Information. For the most part, you may visit our websites or use our products or services without having to identify yourself. However, certain technical information is normally collected as a standard part of your use of our services. Such information includes, for example, your IP-address, access times, the website you linked from, pages you visit, the links you use, the ad banners and other content you viewed, information about your devices and other such technical information your browser provides us with or as may be otherwise collected in connection with certain products and services.
Information you provide us. When you register to our services, make a purchase, enter a sales promotion or otherwise interact with us, we may ask you to provide us with certain information such as your name, email address, street address, as well as user names, passwords and other such credentials that are used to authenticate users and to validate their actions or that may be needed to provide you with the products and services you have requested or to communicate with you, as well as information uploaded by you such as location, route information, pictures etc. We may collect tournament data, demographic information, for example, your age, gender, postal code and language preferences.
Furthermore, BEC’s main objective is to promote the sport of badminton and therefore has a legitimate interest in collecting and processing data of public people e.g. Badminton players taking part in international tournaments. We however do not consider this data to be sensitive data beyond this being part of BEC’s main objective the arguments for legitimate interest are:
-the data is not sensitive and is used in a context strictly related to badminton
-the use of the data does not harm the player – it rather helps the players promotion
-photos are only taken in a badminton context – in badminton outfit
-action and portrait pictures are taken with the knowledge of the players
-processing of data is a necessity for the tournaments to be conducted
-photos are taken by BEC contracted photographers or BEC staff
