Wix.com Ltd — our website platform and hosting provider. Wix processes data on our behalf as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. Wix may store data on servers within the UK, EEA, or other jurisdictions subject to adequate safeguards. For details, see: www.wix.com/about/privacy

Email marketing platform — we use a third-party email platform to manage and send our newsletter. Your email address and name are processed by this platform solely to deliver communications you have consented to receive.
5.2 — Organising Partners
London Padel Week is produced in collaboration with its core organising partners. In the context of event production, sponsorship management and club coordination, relevant contact data may be shared within partners.
Each organising partner receives only the data relevant to their specific operational role and is bound by confidentiality obligations consistent with this policy and applicable data protection law.

We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities if required to do so by applicable law, or to protect the rights, property or safety of London Padel Week, our partners, or the public.
We do not transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom unless adequate safeguards are in place, such as the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or equivalent standard contractual clauses.
6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
-
Right of Access — You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (a "Subject Access Request").
-
Right to Rectification — You have the right to ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
-
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") — You may request that we delete your personal data, where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
-
Right to Restriction of Processing — In certain circumstances, you may ask us to pause the processing of your data while a complaint or query is resolved.
-
Right to Data Portability — Where processing is based on your consent or a contract, you may request that we provide your data to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at:
Email: admin@londonpadelweek.co.uk
Subject line: Data Subject Request — [Your Name]
We will respond to all verified requests within one calendar month of receipt, as required by UK GDPR (Art. 12). In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further two months, in which case we will notify you within the first month and explain the reason for the delay.
We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request, to ensure we protect your data and do not disclose it to unauthorised parties.
7. Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you are unsatisfied with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection:
Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
Website: www.ico.org.uk
Helpline: 0303 123 1113
Address: Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address any concern you may have directly before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.
8. Data Security
We take data security seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. These measures include secure server environments provided by Wix.com, encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), and restricted access to personal data within our organisation and among our organising partners.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
