Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Notice describes how we will collect, use, share and otherwise process your personal data in connection with:

  • your use of the nettla platform, which is available either as mobile application software or on our website www.nettla.co or integrated into the platform of a provider of sports and leisure facilities and other services (an "Operator") (App);
  • your use of any of our services that are accessible through the App (Services), unless such Services state that a separate or additional Privacy Notice applies to a particular Service, in which case only that Privacy Notice applies; and
  • any other engagement with us, whether preparatory to entering into, or during the operation of a contract with us, or otherwise.

The App is not intended for use by children directly. For more information about how we handle children's data when a parent or guardian links a child profile, please see the Addendum at the bottom of this page.

Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

This Privacy Notice is provided by ToppTech Limited (trading as "nettla") (nettla, we, us or our in this notice).

As a provider of services to individual users, and to Operators, we may be the controller of your personal data, or we may be the processor. If you are in any doubt as to who the controller is please contact us.

We are not the providers of any facilities or associated services ourselves, but provide a link between end users and the Operators. Therefore, when you use the App, you will be seeing information provided by an Operator, and when you place a booking or order we will transmit it to the Operator, who will process it.

We have appointed a data privacy manager. If you have any questions about this privacy notice, please contact this person using the details set out below.

Changes to the Privacy Notice and your duty to inform us of changes

We keep our Privacy Notice under regular review.

This version was last updated on 12 March 2025. It may change and, if it does, those changes will be posted on this page and notified to you when you next start the App or log onto your account. You may be required to read and acknowledge the changes to continue your use of the App or the Services.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during our relationship with you.

Third party links and sites

Our App and Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of third parties, such as including those of third party Operators. Please note that these websites (and any services accessible through them) are controlled by those third parties and are not covered by this privacy notice. You should review their own privacy notices to understand how they use your personal data before you submit any personal data to these websites or use these services.

The data we collect about you

We collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. To make it easier for you to use this privacy notice, we group these into the following categories. Each of these categories is described in more detail below.

Please be aware that the data we collect about you may depend upon which elements of the Nettla service you use. Basic registration requires limited data, but activities, matches, becoming a member, and other purchases may require additional data.

Further, if you are an Operator, the data we collect and the way in which we use it is different from that of an individual user.

Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data with the following third parties:

(a.) External third parties

  • Your App Store Provider and mobile network operator to allow you to install the App.
  • Service providers acting as processors based in US, Ireland, Belgium who provide IT and system administration services, hosting services for our App payment processing, fraud and identity verification providers, customer service support, email delivery and administration, and data storage and analysis.
  • If you are an Operator, we may share your contact data with users and potential users who wish to get in touch with you directly to secure goods and services.
  • Our professional advisors acting as controllers including lawyers, auditors, insurers, consultants and other advisors who provide legal, accounting, insurance and other services.
  • Your service providers that you have appointed and we need to contact to fulfil your requests, such as your banking or payment card provider to process your transactions.

(b.) Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Notice.

(c.) HM Revenue and Customs, regulators, law enforcement, public authorities or other third parties based in the UK where necessary to exercise our rights or comply with a legal obligation.

International transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom, and your personal data is stored and processed within the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA).

The exception is payments. We use Stripe to process payments, prevent fraud and verify identity. Stripe is based in the UK and processes some data within its group in the United States. Stripe handles that data under its own privacy policy, available at stripe.com/privacy.

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK we make sure a similar degree of protection applies. Transfers to the EEA are covered by the UK Government's adequacy decisions. Transfers to the United States in connection with payments are covered by Stripe's data processing agreement, which incorporates the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum.

Data security

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and located in the EEA. Any payment transactions carried out by our chosen third-party provider of payment processing services Stripe will be encrypted using End-to-End Encryption (E2EE), Tokenisation, TLS and HTTPS Protocols. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our App or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorised use or access.

We may collect and store personal data locally on your device using technologies such as application data caches, browser web storage (including HTML5 local storage), and similar tools. Please see our cookies notice.

Certain Services include social networking, chat room or forum features. Ensure when using these features that you do not submit any personal data that you do not want to be seen, collected or used by other users.

We have put in place procedures to detect and respond to personal data breaches and notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so.

Data retention

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Security and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Your legal rights listed below for further information.

Once we no longer have a legal right to hold your personal data, we will delete or, in some circumstances, we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

If you do not use the App for a period of 24 months then we will treat the account as expired and will delete your personal data.

Your legal rights

You have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

1. Access. Request access to and/or a copy of the personal data we process about you (commonly known as a data subject access request). This enables you to check that we are lawfully processing it.

2. Correction. Request correction of any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you. (We may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.)

3. Deletion. Request us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also can ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we have processed your information unlawfully or where we need to erase your personal data to comply with law. (In some cases, we may need to continue to retain some of your personal data where required by law. If these apply, we will notify you at the time of our response.)

4. Objection. Object to us processing your personal data where (a) we are relying on legitimate interests as the lawful basis and you feel the processing impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms, or (b) the processing is for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may refuse your objection if we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing your information which override your rights and freedoms.

5. Restriction. Request that we restrict or suspend our processing of your personal data:

  • if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
  • where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it;
  • where we no longer require it, but you need us to hold onto it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  • you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

6. Data portability. Request we transfer certain of your personal data to you or your chosen third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This right only applies to information processed by automated means that we process on the lawful bases of consent or performance of a contract.

7. Withdraw consent. Withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. Please know that this does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent, and after withdrawal, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

8. Complain to the UK and Belgium data protection regulator. If you are unhappy with how we process your personal data, we ask that you contact us first using the details below so that we have the chance to put it right. However, you also have the right to make a complaint to the ICO and any other applicable regulator at any time.

Privacy Policy Addendum: Linked Child Profiles

Children's Personal Data

Where a parent or legal guardian chooses to create or link a child's profile to their account, we may collect and process limited personal data relating to the child, such as their name, date of birth, gender, booking history, and optionally, a profile photo, solely for the purpose of providing and managing the relevant services. By adding or connecting a child's profile, the parent or guardian confirms that they have the authority to do so and consent to the collection and use of the child's information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that children's data is handled with a higher level of care and is only used as necessary to deliver the service. This data is treated with the same level of security and confidentiality as your own and is only shared in the following ways:

  • With clubs where a purchase has occurred in the child's name/profile.
  • With other players or guardians involved in the same scheduled event (e.g., group lessons, matches)
  • With authorized personnel at the club for operational purposes

Use of Photos & Media

If you upload a profile photo of your child, or if a club takes photos/videos during an activity, that content may be used by the club under their own privacy and media policies. Nettla does not publish or distribute child media data independently. You can request removal or review of this content by contacting the respective club or Nettla support.

You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us hello@nettla.co
