Get an SSL certificate
If you don’t have an SSL certificate for your website yet, now’s the time to sort one out.

An SSL certificate shows visitors – and Google – that you’re a safe website. It essentially authenticates your website’s identity and enables an encrypted connection. This means hackers are not able to intercept any personal or payment data you’re sending and receiving.

Without an SSL certificate, site visitors will likely receive a warning message saying that the website is ‘not secure’ or that the ‘connection is not private.’ This could put potential members off your website as they might not want to entrust you with their personal information.

When you have installed an SSL certificate, site spain rcs data visitors will see a padlock and HTTPS within the URL.

As shown in the screenshot below, the LoveAdmin system has this built-in as a standard for all. For example, when a member goes to sign in, they are shown the padlock and SSL certificate.

The General Data Protection Regulation 2018 is a set of legislation that gives individuals more control over the use of their data. As you’ll be aware, GDPR applies to any organisation / club that collects personal information such as next of kin information, safeguarding notes, medical information, email addresses and so on.

In order to be GDPR compliant, you need to ensure the following:

Limit the amount of personal data you collect from members
Be able to prove you have a lawful reason to collect the information
Provide your privacy policy whenever personal data is collected
Obtain consent from members before processing their personal data
Ensure your privacy notices are in a language understood by children
Christine Jackson, Partner at law firm Wright Hassall , said: “Do not assume that everyone in the club is familiar with the processes, and what is required of them, let alone the consequences of not following them and exposing the club to risk”.
