Data protection and privacy

• All entries are handled by the ICU
• Data Collection. All players must be uniquely and accurately identified before the tournament begins. The following player data will be submitted to the ICU and FIDE to enable post-tournament rating:
  • Full name
  • Player's federation (for first-time rated players, this will default to Ireland)
  • Date of birth
  • ICU ID
  • FIDE ID (if any)
  • Results of all games played.
• Contact information. We need to be able to contact all competitors to resolve any issues that may arise during the tournament and to enable distribution of prizes after the tournament has finished. Some contact information is provided by the ICU along with the list of registered entrants prior to the start of the tournament.
• Bank details. In the case of being awarded a prize, organisers may require bank information, such as the IBAN, to process prize transfers.
• Photographs. All players over 18 years of age are deemed to allow publication of photographs taken at the event by the organisers for publicity purposes, unless they inform the organisers otherwise.
• Data sharing. Collected and processed data will not be shared with third parties unless required for tournament organisation or to comply with legal obligations. All data and results, however, will be publicly accessible through the ICU and FIDE rating websites.
• Your rights. On your request, we will send you the personal data we have for you, or delete it. For such requests or complaints, please, contact the organisers. You are also entitled to complain to the Data Protection Commission whose website is www.dataprotection.ie.
