Who is allowed to process my personal data in the hobby?

The icon features an open palm holding a rectangle, which represents personal data, with a symbol depicting a person in the centre. The icon is surrounded by a light green frame. This icon can be used to express that the situation involves the controller's obligations related to the processing of personal data.

People responsible for children or young people in a hobby normally need access to some personal data. For example, your team’s coach may have the right to process your contact details so that they can contact you about things like changes in training times.

Coaches and instructors may also need your personal data to register you for training. There could also be an employee managing your club’s membership fees. They are allowed to process your personal data to charge your hobby fees to that you can keep participating.

It could also be important for your own safety that your instructor know about your illnesses so that they will be able to recognise the symptoms. Allergy information can be important on camps or trips where the instructors arrange the meals.

The hobby organiser must ensure that people who do not have the right cannot access personal data. They may not disclose personal data to outsiders either.
