Information collection and use
We request very little identifying information from you and only for a narrow set of purposes. Typically, identifying information is collected for:
1. Registration to the Volunteer Programme – your title, name, email address, postal address, home and mobile numbers, age, gender, ethnicity and disability status will be collected.
This information is stored to allow us to send information about Scotland’s Commonwealth Games that may be of interest to you. Information relating to age, gender, ethnicity and disability status is treated as strictly confidential and will be used for statistical and equal opportunities monitoring purposes only. This information is also stored on back-up tapes to avoid loss of data.
2. Registration to our recruitment portal – your title, name, email address, postal address, home and mobile numbers and any other information that is within your CV and which is uploaded to the portal by you in relation to any recruitment opportunity will be collected.
3. Email-a-friend – The recipient will receive an email from the address you entered in “your email address” and a URL linking to www.glasgow2014.com. None of the details you submit will be retained by Glasgow 2014 Limited.
4. Contact us – Information is used to respond to queries and requests and is not retained by Glasgow 2014 Limited.
It is possible, though unlikely, that we might be forced to disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, for example, in response to a court order, subpoena or a law enforcement agency’s request.
