FFCF's websites and services include:
Information we hold about you may include any one or more of the following types of data:
Account information:When you register to use, purchase or engage with any of FFCF's goods and/or services, the minimum information we will usually ask you to provide is your name, email address, country of residence, telephone number, and year of birth. We may also ask you for additional information depending on the nature of our interaction with you.
Transactional information: When you purchase goods or services from FFCF Official Websites, we will keep a record of your transaction, including what you purchased and when, and any information you provide to us to fulfil the transaction. This may include your name, billing information and telephone number. We will not keep payment card information, except for the last four digits of your payment card number which we keep in case there are any payment disputes or we need to issue a refund. We will ensure that, when handling any information about you relating to a transaction, we comply with the applicable regulations of the Payment Card Industry. When you register to take part in events or fundraise for us we will keep a record of your name, age, email address, postal address, telephone number and relevant health information to ensure that we can understand and evaluate any risks in you taking part in the activity.
Where you purchase services on behalf of a third party (for example, where you book onto a soccer school or other course or service provided by FFCF) we will usually take details of the participants attending the school, course or service, in addition to the transactional information described above. This is in order that we may administer the provision properly and use your details for the other purposes described in this policy.
Information you provide to us in response to a survey: We may occasionally contact you to ask for your feedback on FFCF goods and/or services or goods or services provided by a third party affiliate on our behalf (for example, match day tickets provided by Fulham Football Club) so that we can make them better and more relevant.
