Under the Data Protection Act, we have a legal duty to protect any information we collect from you.

We take appropriate security measures to safeguard your data and apply security standards & controls to prevent any unauthorised access to it. Sport Borders acts in accordance with current legislation and current Internet 'best practice' guidelines:

• We collect our information fairly, lawfully and for specific requested purposes only
• Information is only for use within Sport Borders - it will not be released to others without your consent unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it
• If you send or post offensive (or in any other way inappropriate) material to Sport Borders, or otherwise engage in disruptive behaviour Sport Borders can use whatever information is available about you to stop the behaviour. This may involve contacting relevant third parties.

We may collect information that you give to us in member registration, consultations, surveys, competitions or questionnaires. Whenever we do this we will inform you of what your information will be used for and to whom it will be disclosed. We may share non-personal statistical, or summary information (limited to that held within the registration process) with organisations working in partnership with us, such as our funders or for sports development purposes.

If you apply for funding from Sport Borders the details on the forms will be entered into a computer database used to administer the grants and track progress of all grant applications.
