All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Data Protection Policy to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018
The GDPR became law on 25th May 2018. This means that all organisations, including The Biggun Carp Cup (TBCC), must make their competitors aware that they keep and store their data (which includes personal information), and competitors must agree to this.
What data do we hold?
• Competitors email address and telephone number(s)
• Juniors competitors (under 18’s) parents and guardians – email address and telephone number(s)
• Competitors photographs for TBCC’s use or for magazines, articles and any other advertising through the TBCC.
All competitors are entitled to see their own data that TBCC keep and store.
How is the data stored?
TBCC stores all the data electronically on a stand-alone computer and a memory stick (not on a shared server), both of which are password protected. All security passwords are known only to the TBCC Managing Director.
How do we use this data?
The data that TBCC keeps and stores is used only for the purpose of contacting TBCC competitors, including sharing news, information on venues, rules and any other information that we feel would be of interest to the competitor.
Who else can see it?
No other persons will see this personal data. Names and or photos will only be shared to show results of a competition, no other data will be used for this purpose.
Occasionally we will ask for personal information with regards to making a profile for the public to see. We will not put any information on this that you do not agree with. We will only use the information that you give us for this purpose.
We will not share the personal data of any individual competitor with a 3rd party without that competitor’s permission.
What do you need to do?
If you agree to TBCC storing and keeping your data for the above purposes, you do not have to do anything. If you do not agree to TBCC storing and keeping your data for the above purposes, please let us know by email at info@thebigguncarpcup.co.uk or by phoning 07506677048.
