GDPR

What data are stored in Winkipedia?

Currently, the only personal data directly held in the database are:

• Players' names
• Players' nicknames (where known)

Nationality data were previously stored and listed, but were removed as nationality arguably falls under the category of 'special category' personal data, because it may reveal an individual's racial or ethnic origin. Biography data have not yet been collected, and will only ever be displayed where the appropriate affirmative consent has been given.

How are personal data being used?

• To display who took part in every rated tiddlywinks match
• To generate and display rankings of every rated tiddlywinks player after each tournament
• To generate and display a profile for each player, with details of tiddlywinks performance, ranking and rating over time

If you object to your name being stored in the Winkipedia database, you can request that those data be anonymised using this contact form. You can also:

• Request that any inaccurate data about you be corrected
• Request a copy of all data relating to you

Winkipedia's administrators will endeavour to respond appropriately to such requests as soon as possible, and will respond within a maximum of 30 days, as required by law.
