Enewsletter

We hold supporters names and emails on our enewsletter mailing list.  Prior to 25th May 2018 we have collected email address information from supporters and other contacts who have all expressed an interest in hearing about Dundee FC. We have never used purchased data or passed our contacts to a third party. We have always had a visible unsubscribe button on our enewsletters and stop sending newsletters when a user unsubscribes. As we have approached the implementation of the GDPR, we have reviewed our database of mailing list contacts and have since determined that we can continue to market to the contacts under the lawful basis of ‘Legitimate Interest’.

Moving ahead into the future, rest assured, you will still receive the same service and communications just as you have always done, and your data will always continue to be held securely and treated with our absolute care and respect. You will have the right to unsubscribe at any time and can request information about (or correction/deletion of) the data we hold about you.

From the 25th May 2018 any online forms will contain an enewsletter opt-in clause and only persons contacting us that give us consent to be added to our enewsletter list. In addition, anyone contacting us by any other means will be asked for consent before being added to the database.
