Privacy & Data Protection Notice (GDPR).

Naomh Barróg Cycling Club (NBCC) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our members, prospective members, and website visitors. We operate in alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Irish data protection laws.

  1. What data we collect

    We do not routinely collect personal data through this website, but we may receive limited personal information if you choose to contact us via our contact form. This may include your name and email address, as well as any details you provide in your message (e.g. interest in trial spins).

    We only use this information to respond to your enquiry and do not store it long-term unless required for club purposes (e.g. trial spin insurance registration).

    No other personal data is collected or processed via the website.


  2. How we use your data

    We only collect the minimum data necessary and use it for specific, legitimate purposes including:

    • Administer membership and club communications
    • Arrange insurance cover via Cycling Ireland
    • Coordinate group spins and events
    • Promote club activities on our website and social media (where you have given permission)
    • Comply with our legal obligations

  3. Sharing your data

    Your data may be shared only with:

    • Cycling Ireland, for insurance and membership purposes
    • Committee members and ride captains, to manage events and ensure safety
    • Service providers (e.g. email platforms) acting on our instructions and bound by data protection obligations

    We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.


  4. Data storage & retention

    We take appropriate security measures to protect your data. Personal information is stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose collected — after which it is safely deleted.


  5. Your rights
    • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
    • Ask for corrections or deletion of your data
    • Withdraw consent at any time (where applicable)

    If you ever have concerns about how your data is being handled, we encourage you to reach out to us directly — we’re happy to discuss and resolve any issues as quickly as possible.


  6. Embedded social media content

    Our website may include links to or embedded content from social platforms such as Instagram or Facebook (e.g. image galleries or posts). These third-party platforms may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded content — exactly as if you visited their website directly.

    We recommend reviewing their privacy policies for more details:

    Naomh Barróg Cycling Club does not control how these platforms handle your data.
