Important Information
Glasgow City Council previously held personal details relating to customers in relation to membership and administration. The Council was the "Data Controller" of this information. The Council held this information in order to carry out its functions as a provider of cultural and leisure services and outdoor recreation services in the City of Glasgow.
As a result of the establishment of Culture and Sport Glasgow and Culture and Sport Glasgow (Trading) CIC to manage and deliver the scope of these functions, this information was transferred to these new companies on 1 April 2007. Culture and Sport Glasgow and Culture and Sport Glasgow (Trading) CIC is now the "Data Controller" of this information, and will use it to fulfill its own obligations in a similar way to Glasgow City Council and in accordance with any data preferences supplied.
For example, if a customer has consented to receive information in relation to their membership of the Glasgow Club by email from Glasgow City Council they will continue to receive this information from Culture and Sport Glasgow and Culture and Sport Glasgow (Trading) CIC.
Following this transfer, personal information will be exchanged between Glasgow City Council and Culture and Sport Glasgow and Culture and Sport Glasgow (Trading) CIC as required or permitted by law.
