This includes information provided at the time of registering to use the online entry system via the CTT website, subscribing to our communications, posting material, entering, attending, and volunteering at events, joining clubs, or requesting further services.

  • Information from your social media accounts but only where you have given us permission to use it. For example, posts, images, and video footage you share on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
  • We may also ask you for information when you report a problem or make a complaint and, if you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

Uses made of your information and the basis of processing

CTT will use your personal information to:

  • Ensure that content from our websites is presented in the most effective manner;
  • Authenticate you when you register;
  • Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and CTT;
  • Provide you with information, products, or services that you request from CTT or which we feel may interest you, where we are legally entitled to do so;
  • Notify you about changes to our service;
  • To gather statistics about the number of participants in CTT events and the number of people registered with CTT;
  • To gather statistics about the number of riders who have third party insurance independently of CTT so that CTT may obtain third party insurance quotations  and, in the event of an accident, notify all relevant insurers in good time; or
  • Publish and maintain a comprehensive set of results and rankings for the sport of time trialling.

 If you are a CTT District official, your contact details (name, postal address, telephone number and email address), will be published in the annual CTT handbook and on the CTT website.  Such details may also be published on your CTT District website or in your CTT District handbook.

 If you are the organiser of an event to be promoted under CTT’s rules and regulations, your contact details (name, postal address, telephone number and email address), will be published in the annual CTT handbook and on the CTT website.  Such details may also be published on the relevant CTT District website or in the relevant CTT District handbook.

 

If you enter an event promoted under CTT’s Rules and Regulations, the information provided by you on your entry form (whether you use the CTT online entry system or the standard CTT paper entry form) will be used for the purposes of the promotion of such event.  Certain information provided by you may be published on the start sheet and result sheet for the event (both of which will be made public and may be published on the CTT website or shared on social media) although will be limited to your name, gender, age or age category and the affiliated club or team of which you are a member.  In some cases, your personal best time or distance or your best performance in the last three years may also be published on the start sheet.  In the case of the result sheet, your recorded time or distance in the event will also be published.  Such details may also be used for the purpose of a ranking system or points competition compiled by CTT, a CTT District, Veterans Time Trial Association, or a regional time trial association.

 If you are named as the “contact” for a club or organisation affiliated to CTT, the contact details you provide will be shown on the CTT website.  Such contact details will be used by CTT (and by CTT District officials) for the purpose of contacting you as the representative of such club or organisation.

CTT will not use any of the personal information we collect from you to make automated business decisions.

Data retention period

We will hold information about you in our data systems only for as long as we need it for the purpose for which we collected it, which is as follows:

  • As long as you continue to log into our website or use our services (including engaging with emails, entering cycling events or downloading content) we will retain and process information about you.   In such cases, you will be considered to be an ‘active’ customer.  If you have not been ‘active’ as a customer for a period of three years, CTT will deactivate your customer account and subject to the data retention periods referred to below anonymise any personal data relating to you.
  • Any data relating to the obligations of CTT to maintain a comprehensive, published index of results as a National Governing Body for time trialling will be retained.  This would not include more than name, age or age category, gender, and name of the club affiliated to CTT of which the individual is a member; alongside details of the event in which an individual took part.
  • Personal data linked to the processing of insurance claims, subject access requests, disputes, safeguarding investigations, anti-doping, disciplinary or police matters will only be kept for as long as it necessary for those purposes, as each is applicable.
  • Personal data provided by you when entering a time trial held under the rules and regulations of CTT normally will be retained for a period of four years following the date of the event and in the event of an accident in an event involving a competitor who is aged under 18 years for the period of four years from and including that competitor’s 18th birthday.  This is needed should there be a claim made against a competitor or other person associated with such event.
