Who We Are – Okehampton Community and Recreation Association

When we refer to “Okehampton Community and Recreation Association” or “OCRA” or “we” or “our” or “us”, we are referring to the OCRA charity that aims to maintain & develop sporting and recreational opportunities and facilities for Okehampton and the large surrounding area.

OCRA is a registered charity, number 1011839, based at Pavilion in the Park, Okehampton College, Mill Road, Okehampton, Devon. EX20 1GE.

OCRA organises classes, courses and other sports/recreational events across West Devon.

What is personal information?

When we refer to “personal information”, we mean information that can be used to identify you as an individual, including (but not limited to) a first and last name, a home address, an email address, telephone number or other contact information.

This may be collected online when you visit one of our websites, or on paper when you sign-up for, register for, or attend an OCRA class, course or event. It also includes information submitted when making bookings, responding to competitions, promotions, offering reviews or comments, applying for work with OCRA or entering into any other correspondence or enquiries.

It relates to our use of any personal information you provide to us by phone, SMS, email, in letters or other correspondence and in person.

This policy does not include personal information you may give directly to a third party (such as local authorities, sports bodies or companies) participating in an event organised by OCRA, which is not then shared with us. You should request to see the privacy policy of any such third party if you are concerned about their use of your personal information.

This applies to a number of current schemes where registration information is collected by third parties such as England Rugby, the Football Association, England Cricket Board, British Triathlon and the Lawn Tennis Association.

In all other cases of joint ventures, the organisation responsible for data collection will be identified, with sign-posting to the relevant privacy policy.

When you visit our websites, we automatically collect information about your visits, such as browsing patterns and your location as given by your machine address. To do this, we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns, such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. Google Analytics is configured to anonymise visitor information in a way which does not identify anyone.

We also deploy cookies to your devices to help manage your browsing sessions and preferences. You can find more information on how cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy below.

However, it is ultimately the responsibility of parents to supervise their children’s online activities and should consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing their name, address and other personal information online without parental permission. OCRA shall use its reasonable endeavours, whenever possible, to ensure that personal information about or obtained from a child will not be used for commercial or trade purposes without the prior written consent of their parent or legal guardian.

Cookies

We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the Website, or which may be used by third parties through our websites.

You consent to accept cookies on your device is governed by your browser and device settings, which you may modify yourself at any time. Full information about how to control what cookies are set on your device can be found on aboutcookies.org.

Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting

DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked, principally by third party ad networks, social networks and analytic companies. This website does not currently respond to DNT requests.

Apps, Devices and TVs

When you download or use apps on your mobile device or TV to access OCRA services, information may be accessed from or stored to your device. Most often this is used in a similar way to a web browser cookie, such as by enabling the app to ‘remember’ you or provide you with the content you have requested.

Your web browser or device may also provide OCRA with information about your device, such as a device identifier or IP address. Device identifiers may be collected automatically, such as the device ID, IP address, MAC address, IMEI number and app ID (a unique identifier relating to the particular copy of the app you are running).

If you have any concerns about the information which might be accessed from or stored on your device by OCRA, you may wish to only access OCRA content through a web browser and review your web browser settings. Visit the Cookie Project (Search for “How can I stop my internet browser tracking my info?”) for more information.
