What rights do children have regarding the processing of personal data in hobbies?

Everyone has the right to the protection of their personal data. People taking part in hobbies have the right to obtain transparent information on the processing of their personal data. They also have the right to access their personal data, that is, obtain a copy of their personal data being stored or otherwise processed by the club. In addition, they have the right to have inaccurate personal data concerning themselves rectified and to have unnecessary data erased.

As a controller, the hobby club must ensure that the data protection rights of its members are fulfilled. Those participating in the hobby must be informed of how they can exercise their data protection rights. For example, the contact details of the club or the person responsible for fulfilling data subjects’ requests must be easily available. As an instructor or coach, you should be able to guide the children or their parents in exercising their data protection rights when necessary.

Fulfilling the rights of the data subject is described in more detail in the guide for the board of the associaton.
