Privacy Statement

This statement discloses the privacy policy for web platforms belonging to and administered by the Welsh Rugby Union Ltd and Millennium Stadium plc (hereafter refered to collectively and/or individually as the context may require as WRUMS); http://www.wru.co.uk/, wru.officialshop.net, supporters.wru.co.uk and http://www.millenniumstadium.com/, and any future web platforms as may be produced from time to time by WRUMS unless the design and usage of such web platforms should require a different or modified Privacy Policy.

For third party web platforms utilized by WRUMS externally for online transactions and/or third party interactivity with WRUMS web platform users, WRUMS web platform users are advised to refer to the Privacy Policies as outlined by such third parties; examples include but are not limited to: Web Platforms of other Rugby Unions, Governing Bodies, Welsh Regions, Welsh Clubs, Clubs and Provinces from other Rugby Unions and Governing Bodies, Promoters, Artists, Ticket Handling Agents and Financial Services.

WRUMS are committed to protecting your privacy. In general, you can view our web platforms and their content without the requirement to tell us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. However, certain areas of interactive functionality upon our web platforms and/or the requirement for users to make online purchases and transactions dictate that WRUMS will, on certain occasions, need to obtain and hold personal information about its web platform users in order for users to sign up to sections, gain access or complete online transactions.

Such information, which may be requested in whole or in part, includes but is not limited to your name, your email address and your postal address and post code, your telephone number, your mobile telephone number and your fax number, plus a password of your designation when prompted.

WRUMS will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that this information will never knowingly be displayed on the website or passed onto the third parties without the consent of the individual providing it except in the case of WRU Club and Regional Administrators where information provided for contact purposes to the Welsh Rugby Union will be provided to download online as collated by the WRU Administration Department during the normal course of working practice unless such information is requested to not be displayed online by the individual.

We intend to let you know before we collect personal information from you on or via the internet. We use personal information in the following ways:

- To allow access to password protected regions such as but not limited to the WRU Supporters Club.
- To enable you to sign up for WRUMS email alert publications (this information is held in a database and you can request to be unsubscribed from the database(s) at any time).
- To enable you to purchase products securely from WRUMS via our online e-commerce systems.
- To enable you to participate in WRUMS competitions and promotions (see individual competitions for Terms & Conditions of those competitions)
- To enable you to participate in message board chat forums.

If you decide to provide us with your personal information to process an order online, provide you with a subscription to a free or chargeable service or provide you with access to a competition or promotion then this will be held by WRUMS, or organizations that will process such information on WRUMS's behalf, as may be required from time to time. For the purposes of processing an online order, processing the winner of a competition or solving a technical problem involving your personal information including but not limited to password log-in issues or email alert subscriptions and unsubscriptions it may be necessary for your information to be passed by WRUMS or an organization as mentioned above.

WRUMS may use your personal information to supply you with information about WRUMS and/or its related and subsidiary organizations, sponsors, partners, suppliers, clients, promoters and new services offered to the game of rugby union, as well as their respective activities and ranges of goods, services and opportunities, and/or for general statistical collation and processing purposes.

We keep track of the domains from which users visit us, the screen resolution size used by our web platform users and the internet software used to view our web platforms. We analyze this data for trends and statistics and to evaluate the efficiency of our web platforms and our online information, e-commerce and e-marketing infrastructure. We also use this data to ensure that the services offered provided by WRUMS are continually improved, and not abused where interactivity is permitted. Such information on computer/browser to internet usage is kept for year-on-year analysis.

WRUMS web platforms contain links to stakeholder, promoter and third party web platforms. WRUMS is not responsible for the privacy practices of such web platforms, the content of such web platforms or any damaged sustained to the user's computer or equipment as a result of visiting an external website.

WRUMS may send information in the form of cookies to a user's computer to allow our web platform's servers to monitor the requirements of your personal settings and enable quick access to password protected regions of our web platform, where appropriate, without the requirement for signing in on each occasion. The cookie is stored on your computer. Servers hosting WRUMS's web platforms may request that your computer return a cookie to it. These return cookies do not contain any information supplied by you or any personally identifiable information about you. We use cookies primarily to keep track of your shopping cart when you are using the WRU Online Shop and when entering password protected regions of the site and log-in required regions including but not limited to the WRU Supporters Club and WRU Supporters Club Message Board.

If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to http://www.wru.co.uk/, wru.officialshop.net, supporters.wru.co.uk and http://www.millenniumstadium.com/, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on these or any other WRUMS websites, WRUMS may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.

Where WRUMS reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any of the laws of England or Wales (eg. because content you have posted may be defamatory), WRUMS may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour. If you have any questions or comments on this Privacy Policy please contact: webmaster@wru.co.uk.
