Worle FC (Worle Association Football Club, Station Road, Worle, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset BS22 6AH) runs this website and is responsible for the personal information described here. Contact us at hello@worlefc.com with any question about it.
Enquiry forms
If you use the contact or pitch hire form we collect the details you type in (such as your name, email address, phone number and message). We use them only to reply to you and to arrange any booking. They are emailed to the club, stored in the website's database, and kept only as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry. Your IP address is saved with the enquiry, only to help us block spam. We never sell them or use them for marketing.
Players, matches and photographs
Player names, photographs, squad information and match statistics are published with the consent of the player (or the parent or guardian of anyone under 18). Match fixtures, results and league tables come from the FA's Full Time system. To ask for something to be corrected or removed, email hello@worlefc.com.
Cookies
This site sets one essential session cookie, used only to keep forms and the club's admin area secure. It is not used to track you.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages and links are most useful, so we can improve the site. It sets cookies in your browser and sends Google anonymous usage information, such as the pages you view, your approximate area, your device and browser type, and links you click (for example a phone number, a sponsor or a booking link). We use it for statistics only. Advertising features and Google signals are switched off, and we do not use it to identify you or to show you adverts.
You can switch analytics off at any time, free of charge. It is also off automatically if your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.
Your choice is remembered in this browser only. Clearing your browser data resets it. You can also delete Google Analytics cookies (names beginning _ga) in your browser settings.
Who else handles your information
The website and its database are hosted by IONOS, and club email is handled by IONOS. We keep a weekly backup of the site and its data for up to eight weeks so we can restore it if something goes wrong. Analytics, where enabled, is provided by Google as described above.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can object to how we use it. Email hello@worlefc.com. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
