Some of this information is collected by cookies which are small text files that store basic information that a website can use to track on-line traffic flows, recognise repeat site visits and record information about your on-line preferences. They often include an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from our websites, which is then stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not attach to your system and damage your files but observe user behaviour and compile aggregate data that we then use to improve web services. We also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising.

The legal basis we rely on to process your personal data is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data when its necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests. The only exception to this is the placement of non-essential cookies on your devices where we rely on article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR which requires us to obtain your consent.

Purchasing our products or services

We need to process your personal data in order to provide you with the products and services you purchase from us. If you have already registered an account, then we will use the information you provided during the registration process to deliver and communicate with you about your purchase. In addition to this, we will need to collect your payment card details in order to process payment

The legal basis we rely on to process this data is article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party.

Depending on the service or product you have purchased, we may also need to collect additional information such as:

• details of any disability or access requirement when you purchase a ticket for an event or service which will take place at the stadium or any of our other locations. This enables us to make reasonable adjustments to make your visit safe and comfortable and compliant with the Equality Act 2010. The legal bases we rely on for this are article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR which allows us to process information to meet a legal obligation and article 9(2)(b) as the processing is necessary for the purposes of carrying out our obligations in the field of social security and social protection law.
• details about any medical conditions you may have when you enrol in one of our coaching courses. We have a duty of care for all participants that enrol in our coaching courses. Processing this information enables us to administer appropriate first aid in the event that participants are injured or taken ill whilst on our premises.

• When you scan your ticket using a mobile device to enter the Stadium, we process this information to keep a record of who is in the Stadium. This is because we are legally required, for health and safety purposes, to know who is on our premises. We may also send you notifications based on this data where you have consented to in-app push notifications (see ‘Push Notifications’ below to enhance your match-day experience).

Fraud screening and prevention

Sometimes where there is suspicion of illegal activity such as fraud or ticket touting, we will ask you to provide a copy of an identity document such as a passport. This is usually only necessary for overseas customers and some UK customers where the value of the purchase exceeds a threshold or where the delivery address is different to the card address.

In addition, we may keep the personal information of individuals suspected of suspicious purchasing and touting activity. This information may be shared with other clubs and local law enforcement agencies as we attempt to protect the public against seriously improper conduct.

We also requested copies of identity documents for ticket holder name changes i.e. maiden to marital surname, to verify the name change and ultimately to prevent tickets being reallocated to different people. 

When we have completed the check process, we delete the copies.

The legal basis we rely on to process this data is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data for our legitimate interests. In this case our legitimate interests are protecting us and our customers against fraud.

You are able to browse the Tottenham Hotspur App anonymously or by signing in using your Spurs user account for more features/services. When you download the App to your mobile device it collects the following information automatically:

• The type of mobile device you are using;
• A unique identifier (like the device ID or IP address);

This enables the App to remember you and provide you with the content you have asked for. We also use this information to personalise your content. The legal basis we rely on to process this data is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data for our legitimate interests.

The App may also collect additional information or perform certain actions but only where you have given permission. The lawful basis we rely on for all of the processing activities listed below is article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR which requires us to obtain your consent.

Where you give us your permission to send push notifications, if you scan into the Stadium with your mobile device (this functionality is powered by our trusted partner, Fortress Inc), we will share notifications with you when you enter our Stadium.

Location data

The App will ask you for permission to access your device’s location data. It may also ask you to provide your country of residence. You are under no obligation to provide this information and you can choose to provide neither.

If you do give your permission, the App will collect your location data on match days. We use this data to help us understand the travel patterns of our supporters with a view to ensuring that the travel facilities we put in place on match days are adequate. Where you also permit push notifications (see Push Notifications), we will use your location data to provide you with any relevant updates.

Push notifications

The App will ask you to permit push notifications so we can notify you of things we believe you would want to know. If you have permitted push notifications and you scan your ticket on the App to enter the Stadium, we will send you a push notification to confirm your entry and we may send you notifications in order to enhance your in match day experience. This may include sending you notifications about the match itself, and concession stand offers and deals. You can turn these push notifications off at any time in your smartphone settings. We will only track your GPS location data if you have consented to this within our App.

Bluetooth

When you attend the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Bluetooth is enabled on your device, we use Bluetooth beacons to estimate your location within the Stadium. We do this to provide you with in-App directions to Stadium facilities and to notify you of any relevant promotions or offers in your immediate vicinity.

Taking photos using the App

It is possible to take photos from within the App however the App will need to access your device’s camera in order to do this. When you use this function, the App will ask for your permission to access your device’s camera.

Publishing your photos to the “photo wall” or sharing on social media

Within the App you can choose to upload your photos for display on a pre-moderated “photo wall”. You should be aware that the “photo wall” is visible to all other App users. You can also share photos to your social media profiles from within the App where they will be visible to your social media contacts.

Our App will remind you of this at the time you upload your photos and we will take your submission of the photo as your consent for it to be displayed on the “photo wall” or posted to your social media profile. 

Quiz leader boards

When you take part in quizzes within the App, we may display your first name and the initial of your last name on quiz leader boards. This will only happen if you are logged into the App.

You can change your permissions at any time by using the permissions part of the App.

Stadium wifi

When you attend the Stadium we provide an open wifi network for your use. We may ask you for any personal information, such as your name or email address, when you connect to the wifi but we have to collect your device’s IP address and MAC address in order to facilitate your connection. We retain these two pieces of information for the duration of a season. At the end of each season we delete all such data from the wifi system. 

We also operate a web filtering system which blocks access to indecent or malicious websites that could pose a security threat to our wifi network. The filtering system will collect information about the websites you visit whilst you are using our wifi network. We retain this information for 1 month in order to assist us with any investigations into the mis-use the wifi network or any security incidents.

The legal basis we rely on to process this data is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data when its necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests.

This information is not personally identifiable and we do not combine it with other data you may have provided us through your other interactions with us. Consequently, this data remains

Direct marketing and market research

When you register your user account on our websites we ask you to set your contact preferences for marketing and market research communications from us and our partners. These settings are opted out by default meaning that we and our partners will only send you such communications where you actively opt-in.

We also include the option to opt in to marketing and market research communications on some of our online forms i.e. competitions and quizzes. Again, we will only ever send you these communications if you opt-in.

For research purposes, when sending communications that individuals have opted in to receive, we may track the open and click through rates. This activity helps us to measure the success of campaigns for those who have provided their consent to receive marketing materials, and for specific Club updates for those individuals who have an existing relationship with the Club and are therefore receiving information as a legitimate interest. This activity can be disabled through opting out at any time.

If you do opt-in and you later change your mind, we provide an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every marketing communication. You can also object to marketing communications by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

When you take part in these activities we will ask you for some basic personal information to enable us to administer the competition, vote or quiz.

Automated Decision-making and profiling

Automated decisions mean that a decision concerning you is made automatically on the basis of a computer determination (using software algorithms), without human review.

The only time we conduct any form of automated-decision making based on profiling is when you visit our websites. We use third party software to analyse the way you use our websites in order to provide you with a more personalised experience next time you visit our websites. For example, we may analyse the products you buy from our shop or the types of web pages you look at the most. Next time you visit our website we will then tailor the content we provide you based on those preferences. We might also suggest other products or services you might be interested in.

These activities are fully automated and you can turn them off by disabling our website’s cookies in your web browser. Our Cookie Policy explains how to do this.

We do not conduct any other forms of automated-decision making particularly anything that could have a legal or similarly significant effect on you. If this changes over time, we will seek your explicit consent and update this privacy notice accordingly.

Sharing your information

Tottenham Hotspur shares your personal data internally and with selected third-parties in the following circumstances:

Third party service providers.

In order to provide our products and services to you or to otherwise fulfil contractual arrangements that we have with you, we may need to appoint data processors to carry out some of the data processing activities on our behalf. These may include, for example, payment processing organisations, delivery organisations, fraud prevention and screening and credit risk management companies, mailing houses and IT system providers. We have contracts in place with our data processors which means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them. They will not share your personal information with any other organisations and will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

Back to Top

Commercial Partners

We may also share personal data, such as your name and contact details, with our commercial partners but only where you have explicitly consented to this or requested that we do so. For example, when you enter a competition which is a joint promotion, or you request to receive certain marketing communications. In any case, we will provide you with clear information before we share your personal data.

Other football clubs

Some European countries require their football clubs to keep full records of all away fans attending their matches. Consequently, when you purchase an away match ticket for a European game, we may be required to disclose your personal information to the hosting club. As this activity forms part of us providing you with the product or service you have purchased, the legal basis we rely on to process this data is article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. You can object to us sharing your data with other clubs however it we will not be able to guarantee your entry at the match.

Publicity and media

We may disclose your personal data publicly via the media or social media. For example, when sharing a comment or opinion you have provided or if you win a competition or promotion we may disclose your name online. In such cases, we will clearly notify you of the sharing and you will have the choice not to participate or to otherwise object to such sharing, subject to our other legal obligations.  

Supporters’ Clubs

Tottenham Hotspur has a network of Supporters’ Clubs around the globe. We may share personal data, such as your name and contact details, with the representatives of your nearest Supporters’ Club but only where you have explicitly consented to this or requested that we do so.

Legal and other

We may also share your data with third parties:

• if we are under a legal or regulatory duty to do so
• if it is necessary to do so to enforce our terms and conditions of sale or other contractual rights
• to lawfully assist the police or security services with the prevention and detection of crime or terrorist activity
• where such disclosure is necessary to protect the safety or security of any persons
• and/or (e) otherwise as permitted under applicable law.

International data transfers

We are based in the UK but sometimes your personal information may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). For example, some of our third-party suppliers or commercial partners to which we disclose your personal data may be situated outside of the EEA. Where we do transfer your personal data outside of the EEA, we make sure that we put one of the EU’s approved suitable safeguards in place, for example using approved contractual agreements or by obtaining your explicit consent for the transfer.

Security

Protecting your personal information is very important to us and as such we have put a range of security defences in place in order to ensure it.

This includes:

• Technical measures such as encryption when we send your data over the internet, anti-virus software, secure user accounts on our systems that restrict access to your personal information, regular data back-ups, and conducting security testing of our systems.
• Physical security measures that ensure that physical access to your data, whether it is in electronic or hard copy form, is also restricted and controlled.
• Personnel security measures such as contractual clauses in employment contracts that require our employees to protect the confidentiality of your data, and regular awareness training about data protection and information security.

Some of our IT systems are provided by third party suppliers. In these cases the security of your data is a shared responsibility and we have contracts in place which outline each party’s responsibilities for the security of data.  

Keeping your information

We retain your personal information for the minimum reasonable time period to allow us to fulfil the purposes that we collected it for. We will delete or destroy your data after that time except where we need to keep any personal information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve ongoing disputes or defend ourselves against future legal claims, or enforce our agreements.

Occasionally, we may continue to use data without further notice to you. This will only be the case where any such data is anonymised and you cannot be identified as being associated with that data.

Please contact personaldata@tottenhamhotspur.com for further information about our retention periods.

Your Rights

You have certain rights in relation to your personal information. In order to exercise any of the following rights please complete the data subject access request form here or contact the DPO using the details above.

ID Validation

In order to understand exactly who is in attendance at the Stadium on matchdays we are asking the relevant Season Ticket Holders over the age of 18 to verify their identification by providing the Club with a copy of a valid passport or UK driving licence.

The lawful basis the Club has applied for collecting this data under data protection law is GDPR Article 6(1) - legal obligation; we have a common law duty of care to protect the welfare and wellbeing of individuals who attend matches in the Stadium. 

Your personal data will be retained only for the purposes stated in this section of the privacy notice and will be held by the Club for no more than 31 days at which point it will be automatically purged.
