1.3 Data Protection Security

Health and Sport Technologies affirm that they conform to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018 and Directive 95/46/EC and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and any other applicable law or regulation relating to the processing of personal data.

All personal data will be maintained in accordance with the obligations of the aforementioned Acts. In particular, they will put in place and maintain security processes of a standard conforming to the requirements of the Act. Said processes shall also conform to the requirements of the International Standards Organisation’s ISO Standard 27034-1.

Health and Sport Technologies are a data processor i.e. we hold and process personal data but do not exercise responsibility for or control over the personal data. As a data processor responsibilities concern the necessity to keep personal data secure from unauthorised access, disclosure, destruction or accidental loss. Health and Sport Technologies affirm that it shall be a data processor, and the client shall be the Data Controller for any personal data processed in connection with the Performance Management System.

Health and Sport Technologies shall not process personal data provided by or on behalf of the client except as instructed by the client. For the purposes of any agreement as between Health and Sport Technologies and the client, aggregated and anonymised data that cannot be linked back to an individual shall not be considered personal data, and Health and Sport Technologies may use same for research or other purposes.

We do our utmost to protect user privacy through the appropriate use of security technology.  We restrict access to personnel or employees / advisors as required and we ensure that we implement appropriate processes to put security measures in place.  Hyperlinks to websites owned by 3rd parties may be included within the Metrifit app.  These 3rd part websites have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of 3rd party websites.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted to our App and any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We are not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from (i) the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet, or (ii) any delay or delivery failure on the part of any other service provider not contracted by us, and you acknowledge that the App may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such communications facilities. You will appreciate that we cannot guarantee the absolute prevention of cyber-attacks such as hacking, spyware and viruses. Accordingly, you will not hold us liable for any unauthorized disclosure, loss or destruction of your personal data arising from such risks.

In the case of a serious data breach we will notify the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) as soon as possible after becoming aware of same. It is not necessary to notify the DPC where the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights of the user.  We will keep a record of any data breaches and the subsequent action taken and will notify you of any data breach affecting your personal data when required under Data Protection Legislation

Your personal data will only be shared with the coaches/staff/personnel who have rights to it under your contract that you have with that club/school/college/organisation.
