5. HOW THE LAW PROTECTS YOU

Your privacy is protected by law. This section provides an overview of how that protection works.

Data protection law states that we are only allowed to use personal information if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing it outside the Sporting Club IOM Group. The law states that we must have one or more of the following reasons:

when you consent to it; or
to fulfil a contract we have with you, or
when it is our legal duty, or
when it is in our legitimate interest.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is best or right for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is. The section below (“How We Use Your Information”) contains a list of the ways in which we may use your personal information, and the reasons we rely on to do so. This is also where we tell you what our legitimate interests are.
