Trip sign-up
When members sign up for trips, OUWC collects the personal data needed to run trips. All personal data will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the University Policy on Data Protection.
This information is used by the relevant trip’s organiser(s) and leader(s) in order to run trips safely and to plan meals. Before each trip, the names of trip participants, their college/department affiliation and their emergency contacts are shared with the University of Oxford Sports Federation, for trip oversight and to be able to respond to any emergencies. In the event of an incident on a trip, at need, the details of trip participants will be shared with emergency and/or medical services and our insurers, the British Mountaineering Council.
Trip sign-up data will be held normally for 3 years after the current academic year ends for insurance reasons. In some specific circumstances, data may be held for longer to meet insurance requirements.
For online sign-ups, this information is collected via Google Forms. Google is a participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement which meets requirements for data transfers under the Data Protection Act
