Privacy Policy

We at Super League (Europe) Ltd. (company number 03845473, registered office Gate 13, Rowsley Street, Etihad Campus, Manchester, England, M11 3FF) (“we”, “our” or “us”) are committed to respecting your privacy and want to make sure all the personal information we have collected about you is safe and secure.

This Policy set outs our commitments to you, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (commonly known as the ‘’GDPR’’) and explains how we collect, store and use your personal information when you interact with us.

Collecting specific, relevant personal information is a necessary part of us providing both you and the sport of rugby league with an excellent service. This Policy applies when we collect person data from you and provides you with details about our use of your personal information, what information we hold about you, how your personal information may be used, the basis for this use and details of your rights.

In most cases we will be a data controller of your personal information. A data controller controls how personal information is processed and used. We will use your personal information as described in section 6 below.

A data processor processes and uses personal information in accordance with the instructions of a third party (i.e. the data controller). In any case where we are not a data controller, this means that you cannot exercise your rights against us directly, but you can do so against the data controller (i.e. the person who controls how we process the personal information). In these cases we will inform you who is the data controller of your personal information so that you can direct any such requests to them.

When you sign up to access services that we provide, either through www.superleague.co.uk (our ‘’Site’’) or otherwise, you may provide us with or we may obtain personal information about you, such as information regarding your:

Personal contact details which allow us to contact you directly, such as name, title, email addresses and telephone numbers; date of birth; gender; and where applicable records of your interactions with us such as telephone conversations, emails and other correspondence and your instructions to us; any credit/debit card and other payment details you provide so that we can receive payments from you and details of the financial transactions with you; use of  our online portal, passwords, personal identification numbers, IP addresses, user names and other IT system identifying information; records of your participation and/or attendance at any events or competitions hosted by us; images in video and/or photographic form and voice recordings; and your marketing preferences so that we know whether and how we should contact you.

We may also collect, store and use the following “special categories” of more sensitive personal information regarding you:

Information about your race or ethnicity, religious beliefs and sexual orientation.

It may be that we do not collect all of the above types of special category personal information about you. In relation to the special category personal data that we do process we do so on the basis that the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, on a lawful basis; it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; it is necessary for the purposes of carrying out the obligations and exercising our or your rights in the field of employment and social security and social protection law; or based on your explicit consent. In the table below, we refer to these as the “special category reasons for processing of your personal data”.

We may also collect criminal records information from you. For criminal records history, we process it on the basis of legal obligations or based on your explicit consent.

The table below describes the main purposes for which we process your personal information, the categories of your information involved and the lawful basis for being able to do this.

Generally, where there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of 6 years after your last contact with us.

Exceptions to this rule are:

Information that may be relevant to personal injury claims, or discrimination claims may be retained until the limitation period for those types of claims has expired.  For personal injury or discrimination claims this can be an extended period as the limitation period might not start to run until a long time after you have worked with us; Where we have specific internal policies relating to the retention of data for compliance matters;
