If you would like to stop Wentworth using this information about you in this way, please contact us at marketing@wentworthclub.com

We will process your personal  data to maintain your membership with us, to provide our member services to you, to communicate with you and to maintain our member database.  The reason we process this data is to ensure we fulfil our membership contract with you, and also to ensure the proper administration of your membership (our legitimate interest).

Wentworth  may provide products and services that will be delivered, collected or provided at a later date; contact details and delivery information may be collected from you so that we may complete your order. We may use third party companies to deliver our services and will need to share your contact information with them for this purpose.

We collect information relating to children, including (where necessary) medical information, only where this is strictly necessary in order to preserve the vital interests of the child. We will treat such information with the highest care and will not retain this information for longer than is necessary.  If you are a parent or guardian of a child who is part of the Junior Club and/or scholar Membership, you can request that we provide you with details of the information we hold on your child by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the details provided.
