What we need from members and participants
Aberdeen Frontrunners will be a “controller” of the personal information that you provide to us in the membership form, unless otherwise stated. Please see our Data Procedure document for the up-to-date link to this form.
When you run with Aberdeen Frontrunners for the first time, we will ask for the following information by way of completing a member registration form:
• Contact details – name, phone number, email address
• Emergency contact – name, phone number, their relationship to you

Why we need your personal information
We need to collect our participants’ personal information so that we can manage your membership. We will use this personal information to:
• send members, participants and volunteers communications by email
• ensure the club can honour its duty of care to its participants (i.e. keeping a record of emergency contacts and disability information)
• where you have consented, we may also contact you by SMS or phone with updates about events you have signed up to as a participant or volunteer
If a runner does not provide us with the personal information that we need to collect then this may affect our ability to offer our membership services, benefits and our ability to accept them as a participant in our events. The online form is designed to ensure the appropriate information is captured, with compulsory fields.
We need information about an emergency contact in case you have an accident, become unwell, or otherwise need medical assistance during a club run, training session or event. These details will only be used for emergency purposes in the immediate health or safety interests of an Aberdeen Frontrunners member or event participant.
Members must ensure these details are kept up to date and that they have told the individual or individuals to be contacted of the disclosure to Aberdeen Frontrunners of their details.
Why we need your personal information – legitimate purposes
We also process our members’ and volunteers personal information in pursuit of our legitimate interests to:
• Promote and encourage participation in running by sending members communications and booking information for upcoming competitions and events. Members can unsubscribe from communications at any time by clicking the ‘Unsubscribe’ link on the mailout, or emailing secretary@aberdeenfrontrunners.co.uk.
• Our competitions and events may be filmed or photographed and your personal information may also be used in images captured from our competitions and events, which we use for promotional, education and development purposes.
• Provide competition in running by accepting and managing entries for our events and checking your personal and sensitive information to ensure you are entered into the correct category. This information may also be shared with third parties who manage event entries, if required.

• Respond to and communicate with members regarding your questions, comments, support needs or complaints, concerns or allegations in relation to Aberdeen Frontrunners. Where necessary we will use your personal information to investigate your complaint, suspend membership and take disciplinary action where appropriate.

If you wish to object to any of the above processing, please email secretary@aberdeenfrontrunners.co.uk. If we agree and comply with your objection, this may affect our ability to undertake the tasks above for the benefit of you as a member.

We ask for their email address so that a committee member can contact them with information about how to register as a full paying member, any future runnig events and any other club activities.
Online Runners Form
When a member comes along to our club for the first time, we ask them to complete a member registration form. This is a Google form. You can read about Google’s Cloud based GDPR policy by visiting https://cloud.google.com/security/gdpr/. In particular, we are satisfied by the measures they have put in place to secure data.
On the first page we give a link to our privacy policy.

The information, and any backups, is held on the club Google Drive, and accessible by the committee. Committee members can access it only through aweb interface or app on Google Drive – in particular it is not held on any personal devices, and if any personal devices are lost we can remove access to ensure security.
Personal data from submitted forms is not shared to any third party outside of the committee. Anonymised information will be passed to Scottish Athletics during the annual affiliation process.
Club Kit

The email address is used by the committee to contact the person placing the order, regarding their order (for example, to confirm payment, stock and/or when the kit will be ready to collect).
Registers
The club register is a list of the members of the club and is collected via Spond. This is collected so we can gather statistical data about our attendance across the year.
The electronic forms of the register will be held on Google Drive and are password protected. Any analysis of the data will also be held on Google Drive and is password protected. These documents contain the runner’s name.
The paper forms of the register are held securely so they can be processed. Once the data has been processed, we will destroy the paperwork by shredding it.
Data Retention
We have decided that we will keep membership data for six years for legal reasons. During this time, the data will be held securely as above. Once this period of time expires, the data will be anonymised and kept indefinitely.

Policy Statement
Aberdeen Front Runners, hereafter referred to as ‘the Club’, is committed to providing excellent service to its members. It recognises that compliments, comments, and complaints received should be treated positively and considered with care as a potential means of improving the club.
All members of the club are expected to act in a way that is consistent with the Club Code of Conduct. Any member may make a compliment, comment or complaint regarding any element of their membership. This may include the systems and processes of running the club (where the action is directed towards the Management Committee as a whole), the actions of an individual committee member or jog-lead, hereby referred to as ‘a volunteer’, or the actions of another member.
Compliments:
A compliment is an expression of praise to the Club itself or volunteer. It may include an occasion where support has been given by a volunteer which was above and beyond the standard expected. Once we receive a compliment it will be shared with the relevant volunteer and among the committee. Compliments are a way of increasing volunteer confidence, showing improvement in performance and measuring the quality of the services we deliver. Compliments can be received in person to a committee member or by completion of the welfare form on our website.
Comments:
Comments, including suggestions and concerns can be made in person to a committee member, the committee member will then add this to the agenda for the next committee meeting for discussion. Comments can also be submitted by completion of the welfare form on the club website, these will also be discussed at the committee meeting. Informal resolution of any concerns will be considered as appropriate.
Complaints:
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about: the club, its volunteers or its members. In the first instance, the complainant should complete the welfare form on the club website, this will be sent to the club Vice President. Alternatively, the complainant can contact the Club Vice President via email. The Vice President will discuss the complaint with the Club President. If the complaint is regarding the Vice President, the complainant should contact the Club President by email, they will then discuss the complaint with the Club Secretary.
A member will be asked to consider if they wish this issue to be considered informally or formally.
Informal Complaints
Informal resolution of the issue will be attempted in the first instance by the Vice President and President
Formal Complaints
If a member wishes to make their concerns formal, the procedure detailed below should be adhered to:
1. The member shall raise their complaint in writing by completion of the welfare form or by email to the Vice President and/or President
2. The club will acknowledge receipt of the complaint within 14 days. Please contact another member of the committee if this timescale is not met.
3. The complaint will be discussed at the next scheduled, or specially convened committee meeting.
4. The complainant will receive a written response*, via email, regarding the outcome of the committee’s discussion and actions to be taken.
Whilst we will endeavour to keep the identity of the complainant and subject matter of the complaint confidential, this may not always be possible. The Vice President and/or President and/or Secretary will discuss this with you on receipt of the complaint.
If a member makes a complaint about you.
If another member of the club makes a complaint regarding your behaviour, you can expect the following to occur. As above, the Vice President and/or Club President and/or Secretary will try to resolve the complaint informally with the complainant. However, the complainant does have the right to make their issue formal if they so desire. In that case, the committee will follow this process:
1. The Vice President and/or President and/or Secretary will inform you via email that the complaint has been received
2. The Club will ask for a written response from you regarding the issues raised by the complainant. This response will be time specific.
3. The club will acknowledge receipt of the complaint within 14 days. Please contact another member of the committee if this timescale is not met.
4. The complaint will be discussed at the next scheduled, or specially convened committee meeting.
5. The complainant will receive a written response*, via email, regarding the outcome of the committee’s discussion and actions to be taken.
Time Limits
Complaints will only be considered if they are made within 6 months of the date on which the matter occurred.
What happens at the Committee Meeting
The complaint is discussed at the next available committee meeting. At this point, details of the nature of the complaint are shared. If the nature of the complaint relates to another member of the club, details of any response received will also be shared. The committee shall explore the nature of the complaint and then vote on the outcome. The outcome will either be "complaint upheld" or "complaint not upheld". The decision of the committee will be based upon how the majority of those committee members vote. The President's vote will only be casted to decide a tie.
Outcome actions
During the discussion of the complaint, depending on the outcome the committee can decide if further action is required. Potential actions are listed below (the list is indicative and not exhaustive):
● No action required
● Written warning

Complaints about, or from, a Committee Member

However, the committee member will be excluded from the discussion and will not have a vote in deciding the outcome. If a committee member makes a formal complaint against a club member (i.e. not a member of the committee), said committee member will be excluded from the discussion and will not have a vote in deciding the outcome. If one committee member makes a formal complaint against another, both will be excluded from the discussion and neither will have a vote in deciding the outcome.

Appeals will be treated as detailed in the diagrams above and will be discussed at the next available committee meeting.
*The welfare form allows complainants to remain anonymous, if the complainant chooses to remain anonymous they will not receive a written response.

Code of Conduct
All Members and Guests participating in any activity under the auspices of Aberdeen FrontRunners are required to abide by the Club’s Code of Conduct.
Personal Safety
You are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of other participants in Club events. You must be clear about the nature of the event before you take part, and be comfortable that it is within your capabilities – please contact the Club Secretary or President if you would like clarification. You must ensure that you wear appropriate clothing for the event.
Insurance
AFR, through its affiliation to Scottish Athletics, has third party public liability insurance that protects the Club and Club Members (only) against being sued as a result of activities organised by the Club. That insurance is not personal accident or travel insurance and you are advised to take out appropriate insurance, especially for events which are abroad or where payment has to be made in advance.
Behaviour and Respect for Others
Participants in AFR activities must behave responsibly and comply with the law. This means, for example, abiding by rights of way legislation, and avoiding behaviour which could be perceived as unreasonable, infringe public decency or bring the Club into disrepute.
AFR is an equal opportunities Club and welcomes all adults, regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or physical ability. AFR is a group where people can meet and enjoy friendship in an open and relaxed environment. Members
and Guests shall treat each other and members of the public with respect. No Member or Guest should feel that they have to disclose personal information or explain any aspect of their lifestyle.
Members and Guests will have differing levels of comfort about their sexuality and some may be nervous about participating in a group that seeks to encourage LGBT involvement in the sporting and local community. Please be especially sensitive to other Members and Guests in this regard. Members with particular responsibilities within AFR (e.g. committee members) should take special care not to take advantage of that position, either deliberately or unwittingly.
It is acceptable to take photographs at Club events but Members and Guests should not photograph anyone against their will. If you intend to submit the photograph to the newsletter, social media sites or the website you should advise the people you are photographing of that. The Club may use photographs submitted to it for publicity purposes. Copyright of any images used remains that of the photographer. AFR retains the right to use any images submitted and will not financially benefit in any way. When an image is used the photographer will be credited.
Confidentiality
Details of people and events provided to Members are done so for their use in attending or organising AFR events. Details of people attending must not be passed on from organisers unless required by emergency services. Details of events should not be passed to non-Members except to enable them to attend an event as a Guest.
The Club keeps addresses and other information about Members securely and will never share those details with third parties, except for the purposes of Club affiliation.
Limits to Authority
AFR gains useful publicity through press exposure and websites/social networking sites. However, please do not make statements on behalf of the Club unless you are authorised to do so. If you have ideas for publicity, please contact a Committee Member. You may not commit the Club to any expenditure unless you are specifically authorised to do so.
Supporting AFR
AFR welcomes guests to its events. If a Guest continues to attend events after their first free trial run, they will be encouraged to join the Club as a Member, or to pay the current Guest Fee.
AFR functions entirely on voluntary effort – no-one is paid for their work on behalf of the Club. We encourage all Members to support the Club by helping to run it, which might be through organizing an event, hosting visitors, or working for the Committee.
