Legal Basis for Sharing Data Under UK GDPR

We process and share your data under the following bases:

(a) Your Consent – You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting admin@muslimskiclub.com.

(b) Contractual Obligation – To fulfil bookings and provide services as agreed.

(c) Legal Obligation – To comply with legal, tax, or regulatory requirements.

(d) Vital Interest – In case of emergencies (e.g., medical incidents during trips).

(e) Public Task – If required for official reporting or compliance with governing bodies such as Snow Sports England.

(f) Legitimate Interest – To improve our services, prevent fraud, and ensure security.

We rely on the following lawful bases under Article 6 of the UK GDPR: performance of our contract with you (to take bookings and provide the holiday); compliance with our legal obligations (for example, reporting and immigration requirements); our legitimate interests (for example, administering our membership and protecting the safety of participants), provided these are not overridden by your rights; and your consent (for example, for marketing). Where we process special category data, in particular health, medical or accessibility information, we do so on the basis of your explicit consent or because processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or the protection of vital interests, in accordance with Article 9 of the UK GDPR. You may withdraw any consent at any time by contacting us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

If Muslim Ski Club Ltd undergoes a merger, acquisition, or organisational change, your data may be transferred as part of business assets, ensuring continued service. 

5. Emergency Situations

In the event of an emergency during a ski trip or event, we may use the personal data you have provided (such as emergency contact details, medical conditions, or insurance information) to:

  • Contact your designated emergency contact

  • Coordinate with local medical services for appropriate care 

  • Liaise with relevant authorities to ensure your safety

We will only share essential information with emergency services, healthcare providers, or relevant authorities as required to manage the situation effectively. Muslim Ski Club will not use your protected data for commercial purposes or share it without consent.

6. International Data Transfers

As part of our services, we may work with resorts, travel operators, and service providers located outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, appropriate safeguards will be in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws. Such transfers will only take place where the destination is the subject of UK “adequacy” regulations, or where an appropriate safeguard recognised under Article 46 of the UK GDPR is in place (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK Addendum), or where another exception permitted by law applies. You may request further information about the safeguards we use by contacting us.

7. Parental Consent for Minors

Our services, including ski trips and lessons, may be available to individuals under 18. However, we require:

  • Parental or guardian consent for any bookings or participation in MSC events involving minors. 

  • Verification that a responsible adult is accompanying the minor (where applicable).

We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors without explicit parental consent. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data without such consent, we will take steps to remove that information. 

8. Data Retention

Muslim Ski Club uses appropriate security measures to protect data from unauthorized access. Personal data will only be retained as long as necessary to fulfil its purpose or comply with legal obligations. Booking and transaction records will normally be retained for up to seven years following the end of the relevant trip in order to comply with our legal, accounting and regulatory obligations. Membership records will be retained for the duration of your membership and for a reasonable period thereafter. Once the applicable retention period has passed, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised, unless you have consented to its continued use for other purposes (for example, marketing) or we are required to retain it by law.

Residual anonymous information and aggregate information, neither of which identifies you (directly or indirectly), may be stored indefinitely.

9. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Customers have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of their personal data. You can also object to processing for marketing purposes. You also have the right to data portability, the right to withdraw consent where we rely on it, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (the UK supervisory authority) at www.ico.org.uk, although we would encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any concern. To exercise these rights, contact Muslim Ski Club at admin@muslimskiclub.com.

10. Security Measures

We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented appropriate measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These measures include:

  • Encryption & Secure Storage – Personal data is stored securely, and sensitive information is encrypted where necessary. 

  • Access Controls – Only authorised personnel have access to your information, ensuring it is handled responsibly.

  • Payment Security – All online financial transactions are processed through secure and compliant payment providers.

  • Data Retention & Disposal – We only retain personal data for as long as required and securely delete information that is no longer needed

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online system is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you suspect unauthorised access to your personal information, please contact us immediately at admin@muslimskiclub.com.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time without any prior notice to you. Any changes will take effect with immediate effect after posting on our website. Continued use of our Services after this period will constitute your acceptance of the revised policy.
