Personal data we collect

We do our utmost to protect your data. We need personal data to provide our services to you. Judoteam Groningen processes this data because you use our website and services and/or because you provide it to us. Through the contact form we collect your name, email address, subject and message; through the sponsor form we also collect company name, optional phone number and your message. For the newsletter we ask for email address and language preference. On news articles you can post a public comment (name and comment text). On the documents page we offer PDF files; we do not collect additional data for that unless you fill in a downloaded form yourself. We store this data in our content management system (CMS). We process data for the following purposes:

• handling contact and sponsor requests and keeping you informed about their progress;
• sending our newsletter (after you confirm your subscription);
• publishing and moderating comments on news articles;
• providing club documents and operating the website;
• improving our services and sharing relevant information about Judoteam Groningen.
