Advertising

We may also use your information to provide you with targeted advertising through our website or through third party websites based on information we have collected concerning your preferences.

Some third party websites allow you to request not to see messages and communications from specific advertisers on their website. Please contact these third parties directly if you would like to make that request or if you need more information.

Where we collect information about you from

The majority of personal information we get directly from you and your activities as a programme member but we may also collect personal information from other sources, namely: 1) our Programme Partners; 2) our Betting Partners, 3) social media channels such as Facebook, Google and Twitter.

Do you share my data with other organisations?

Our role is to provide you with the services connected to your membership of the Rewards4Rugby League programme. We only share your personal information with others if:

  • you ask us to or give us your permission to share it;
  • it is necessary to track the transactions and collection of Rewards4Rugby League points through our Programme Partners, or our Betting Partners;
  • it is necessary to enable us (or trusted third parties, such as Google, Inc. ("Google") to analyse how our website is being used by members and to optimise and improve the Rewards4Rugby League website and our services;
  • this is necessary for trusted third parties (for example, a data management and profiling organisation such as Experian) to match your personal information against other information they hold about you - such as age, gender, demographic information, and known interests - and provide that information to us to help us provide the services and improve your experience with the Rewards4Rugby League programme; or
  • we engage in a corporate activity, such as a sale, transfer, merger or re-organisation of the Rewards4Rugby League business (including Rewards4Rugby League).

In exceptional circumstances, we may share your information without your permission if we reasonably believe you might be breaking the law, for example on hate speech, and such disclosure is allowed under the relevant laws, including Data Protection law.

When we share your data outside of Rewards4Rugby League we will:

  • always share it in a secure way; and
  • not permit it to be used for third party marketing purposes.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate data on your usage of the Rewards4Rugby League programme to calculate the percentage of members accessing a specific feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Will my information be held outside the European Economic Area (EEA)?

Your personal information may be transferred internationally. Sometimes we will need to transfer your information out of the United Kingdom and the EEA, for example, where we work with Google or Facebook to provide you with targeted advertising through our website or through third party websites.

Countries to which we transfer information may have different standards for controlling how your information is used and protected and these standards may not be as strict as those in place in the United Kingdom and EEA. If we transfer your information to a country which does not have data protection laws which offer an adequate level of protection for your information, we will make sure that the organisation which receives your information is a participant in the US Privacy Shield Framework (for more information, please visit the Privacy Shield website), puts in place appropriate safeguards to protect your information, such as standard contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission from time to time, or otherwise ensure that we can transfer your information in a way that complies with data protection law.

Can I change or delete my data?

Absolutely, you can change the data that we hold on your account or ask us to delete that data at any time.

You can amend the information we hold on you by logging into your account and visiting the 'My Profile' page.

To request for your account to be deleted, you can do this by emailing us at hello@rewards4rugbyleague.com.

If you choose to close your account, this will erase any personal information that we hold about you. It will mean that any data about how you've used Rewards4Rugby League will be made anonymous, and any data that has enabled you to collect points will also be anonymised and archived.

Please bear in mind though, once you request to close your account (and have your details deleted), you will lose any points that you have collected should you wish to re-open your account at a later date.

How long will you keep my data for?

Rewards4Rugby League will only hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing the services to you (and/or as set out in the Rewards4Rugby League Member Agreement)

If you ask for your Rewards4Rugby League account to be closed, then your personal information will be deleted from our systems. Please note that any transactional information relating to your account will be anonymised for analytical and business critical process purposes. This information will be archived for 6 years, until it is no longer necessary for us to retain it.

Can I see the information you have about me?

Of course. You have the right to request all personal information that Rewards4Rugby League holds about you (and how we obtained it). This is called a Subject Access Request.
