As members will be paying for membership online, Clubmate will also require certain financial information, which includes bank account and payment card details. The Club has no access to this information.

·      Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

·      Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
