In order for the club to safely carry out each climbing session, climbing leaders and organisers keep a list of all climbers. The list consists of names and competence levels. We will keep the information for up to 12 months after the last climbing attendance. Only club climbing leaders and climbing organisers and committee members will have access to this information. Anyone will have access to view their own information upon request as well as the right to rectify, erase and restrict in accordance with GDPR. If you wish to access your information, contact the Climbing Training and Development Deputy.
