GDPR considerations for running clubs?

But for the runners at Black Combe (i.e. the one in the prison) for which public results are shown, I suppose there is a potential in the future for someone wanting their activities there to be expunged from the record books if the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act provisions are to be well enforced - you could well be an employee who has no obligation to disclose previous criminal convictions in future years (and might choose not to disclose that for personal reasons) yet if someone browses your profile they might uncover unwanted information. Presumably parkrun would under GDPR need to fairly easily wipe individual participation out and turn "knowns" into "unknown runner".

All the surnames are place names - towns, counties etc. Maybe they should encourage more Fetch-like usernames..!?]

Got something to say?

I'm trying to make sure my running club conforms to the new rules coming in on Friday with GDPR...
