Why We Need Your Personal Information – Legitimate Purposes 

We also process our members’ personal information in pursuit of our legitimate interests to:

•       promote and encourage participation in basketball in Scotland by sending members’ communications and booking information for upcoming competitions and events. Our competitions and events may be filmed for live streaming purposes and your personal information may also be used in images captured from our competitions and events, which we use for promotional, education and development purposes;

•       respond to and communicate with members regarding your questions, comments, support needs or complaints, concerns or allegations in relation to basketball in Scotland. We will use your personal information to investigate your complaint, to suspend membership and take disciplinary action where appropriate.

Where we process your personal information in pursuit of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to us using your personal information for the above purposes. If you wish to object to any of the above processing, please contact us on

Why We Need Your Personal Information – Legal Obligations 

We are under a legal obligation to process certain personal information relating to our members for the purposes of complying with our obligations under:

•       the Companies Act 2006 to maintain a register of our members, which includes our members’ name, address, the date they were admitted to membership and the date on which they ceased to be our member, and hold general meetings, including issuing notices and voting arrangements;

•       our sportscotland regulatory requirements to report on the size, achievements and profile of our members; and

Why We Need Your Personal Information – Equality Monitoring Requirements 

We are required to use our members’ personal information relating to your disability (if any), ethnic group, religious belief, gender identity and sexual orientation for equality monitoring purposes as required by sportscotland.

We will process such personal information through aggregated and anonymised reports to identify and keep under review the existence or absence of equality of opportunity or treatment between groups of people within the same categories to promote or maintain equality within our sport.

Other Uses Of Your Personal Information 

We may ask you if we can process your personal information for additional purposes. Where we do so, we will provide you with an additional privacy notice with information on how we will use your information for these additional purposes.

We may be asked by our member clubs to collect and store personal information about their individual members. Where we do this, the clubs have a responsibility as “controllers” to provide their members with privacy notices and we will not use such personal information for any other purpose.

Who We Share Your Personal Information With 

If your personal information is included in any images or videos taken by us at our competitions and events, we may share this with Team Scotland for promotional and/or journalistic purposes.

We may be required to share personal information with statutory or regulatory authorities and organisations to comply with statutory obligations.  

Such organisations include the Health & Safety Executive, Disclosure Scotland, and Police Scotland for the purposes of safeguarding children.  

We may also share personal information with our professional and legal advisors for the purposes of taking advice.

In the event that we do share personal information with external third parties, we will only share such personal information strictly required for the specific purposes and take reasonable steps to ensure that recipients shall only process the disclosed personal information in accordance with those purposes.

basketballscotland employs Azolve to administer our membership database, as part of which Azolve contracts third party payment providers to process your payments of our behalf. Azolve and its payment providers process our members’ personal information on our behalf as “processors” and are subject to written contractual conditions to only process that personal information under our instructions and protect it.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with membership services. Unless you ask us not to, we will review and possibly delete your personal information where you have not renewed your membership with us for six years.

We will keep certain personal information of members for longer in order to confirm your identity, when you were a member of basketballscotland and for how long. We need to do this to comply with the Companies Act 2006, which requires us to keep a register of members or in the event of a claim against basketballscotland.
