What personal data we collect and why we collect it
GenSport is committed to a policy of protecting the rights and privacy of clients and visitors in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
We may collect your personal data to answer enquiries, and to fulfil our legal obligations to provide relevant information to certification bodies and legal authorities.
We also collect visitor data via google analytics to monitor the performance and efficacy of our website.
Your Rights under GDPR
The GDPR provides the following rights for individuals, and as such GenSport is committed to supporting these rights:
- The right to be informed of how we hold and process your personal information
- The right of access to your personal information held by GENSport
- The right of rectification. We must correct inaccurate or incomplete data within one month.
- The right to erasure. You have the right to have your personal data erased and to prevent processing unless we have a legal obligation to process your personal information.
- The right to restrict processing. You have the right to suppress processing. We can retain just enough information about you to ensure that the restriction is respected in future.
- The right to data portability. We can provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly-used, form when asked.
- The right to object. You can object to your personal data being used for profiling, direct marketing, communications or research purposes.
- You have rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling, to reduce the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken without human intervention.
Full details of individual rights can be found on the Information Commissioners Office Website (https://ico.org.uk)
Any personal information collected by GenSport will not be published or passed on to third parties without prior consent, unless there is a legal obligation to do so. We have undertaken checks of the privacy policies of organisations that have access to client personal data to ensure they are also GDPR compliant.
We will only keep your information for as long as it is required to be retained. The retention period is either dictated by law or by our discretion. Once your information is no longer needed it will be securely and confidentially destroyed.

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
