Our safeguarding policy can be found here.

"},{"label":"Diversity & Inclusion Policy","content":"

We actively promote Diversity, Equality and Inclusion in our behaviour, practices and values.

Football is for everyone; it belongs to and should be enjoyed by anyone who wants to participate in it, whether as a player, official, staff member or spectator. We aim, therefore, to bring people together in a way that supports positive change, makes people feel valued and improves the lives and inclusive experience of our fans and wider community.

As fans of Brentford Football Club, we are one family, and regardless of your background, it is fundamental to our values that everyone should be made to feel welcome as supporters of this Club. We are committed, therefore, to confronting and eradicating any form of discrimination, whether it is of race (including ethnic origin, colour, nationality and national origin), religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, age, pregnancy or maternity, disability or gender reassignment. (Protected characteristics outlined within the Equality Act 2010).

We ensure that we treat everyone fairly and with respect, and that we provide access and opportunities for all members of the community to enjoy their matchday experience with us. At Brentford FC, we are proud to represent every part of our diverse community and for those that don’t share these views, we will not compromise on our values.

OUR STANCE:

We have zero-tolerance towards discriminatory language, abuse, chanting and behaviour of any kind.
We expect our community to behave towards others in a manner consistent with principles of fairness, respect and tolerance.
We find hateful behaviour based on any form of discrimination wholly unacceptable.
We don’t want you at Brentford FC if you can’t accept that, or if you behave in a manner that is incompatible with these values.

IN THE FIRST INSTANCE:

We encourage you, if you see or hear racist, sexist, homophobic, or other behaviour of hate or division to use any of our reporting mechanisms. Collecting evidence quickly and efficiently allows us the best chance to deal with any incidents:
- Please report what you see or experience to any of our matchday stewards, or Text BFC followed by your message to 62277 and our operations team will be notified.
- Alternatively email report@brentfordfc.com with as much detail as possible.
- Fans can also phone Kick It Out on 0800 169 9414, send an email to info@kickitout.org
  or contact Kick It Out on social media -Twitter @kickitout or www.Facebook/kickitout/official

OUR PROMISE TO YOU:

We will thoroughly investigate such incidents and any behaviour from an individual or group, which is calculated to divide our fans and community, or cause trouble.
We will deal with this appropriately and expediently, which may result in a banning order or ejection from our ground.
We will continually review our methods, approach and means of dealing with such behaviour to help prevent further incidents.

We believe that being inclusive and welcoming is an important part of what will make us unbeatable, and the team that everyone in our community will be proud to support and be associated with.

This Policy is fully supported by Chief Executive Jon Varney and all members of the Brentford FC Board of Directors.

TRANS & NON-BINARY INCLUSION:

At Brentford, we believe that football is for everyone and that it should be enjoyed by anyone who wants to participate in it. We want to ensure all our visitors are treated with respect and dignity and are included on match days.

All visitors will undergo searches as required by stewards. For men, this can be conducted by a steward of any gender; for women, this will be conducted by a steward who is a woman. This guidance includes trans men and trans women. However, we want to ensure trans and non-binary visitors, including visitors undergoing gender reassignment, are able to state their preference regarding the steward who will conduct the search. We advise the following:

Tell a steward on the day. Simply inform the steward of your pronouns, and your preference.
You can also do this in advance by contacting
crowdsafety@brentfordfc.com

If you would like to access a gender-neutral toilet, please speak to one of our stewards who can help you access the nearest available facility. Gender neutral spaces are also visible on our interactive stadium map on the BFC App.

Introduction

Brentford Football Club wants to make our Club as inclusive as possible, somewhere all our fans and staff feel welcomed and valued. To support this aim, the Club is committed to encouraging fans to use social media in all matters relating directly to the Club in a responsible way, ensuring an environment of respectful discussion, debate and opinion.

Social media is a dynamic, constantly evolving form of communication that allows people to participate in online communities, generate content and share information with others. Users can access the range of platforms through a multitude of services and devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, music devices, game consoles and personal computers.

Benefits of social media

When used safely and correctly, social media offers a number of positive benefits including:

Looking up live football results, league tables and footage online
Creating personal profiles which can be designed to display the person’s identity
Interacting with friends online and making new friends
Building a positive personal image and brand
Following football players and organisations as well as other interests
Playing online games
Uploading videos and images online and commenting on them
Keeping online blogs, diaries and journals
And many others

Official social media platforms

Brentford FC actively uses social media platforms and channels to engage with fans. It has four official platforms that are monitored and run by the Club.

Twitter - https://twitter.com/brentfordfc
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/brentfordfootballclub1889
Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brentfordfc/
YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/brentfordfc

Guidance and conduct

When engaging with social media relating directly to the Club, whether on the Club’s official social media channels or elsewhere, we ask our fans to behave in a manner which is in line with our Club’s values and beliefs as set out in our Diversity & Inclusion Policy published by the Club on its website https://www.brentfordfc.com/policies-and-regulations/. In particular, we encourage fans to behave towards others in a manner consistent with the principles of fairness, respect and tolerance and to refrain from any discriminatory or abusive comments.

Club action

Whilst we can’t take on the role of policing social media platforms, the Club will consider taking action against individuals or groups who produce or disseminate social media posts that contravene the Club’s policies, particularly our Diversity & Inclusion Policy. We will investigate all complaints or conduct directly involving the Club on a case by case basis if the post/s (in the Club’s sole judgement):

Seriously and directly contravenes our Club’s values,
Does so in a way which we believe will or could bring the Club into disrepute, and
Can be reasonably identified as originating from known supporters of the Club

Actions taken could involve:

Blocking the individuals or groups from following our official accounts
Banning the individuals or groups from attending Brentford FC matches
Reporting the individuals or groups to the social media platform and to the police if we feel a crime has been committed

At all times we will do what we believe will have the most impact to protect the Club and its fans, recognising that it is not possible or realistic for the Club to intervene in every situation. The decision on whether to take action will remain at the Club’s sole discretion. Any decision not to act does not constitute an endorsement of the content under complaint by the Club.

Advice for fans

Blocking users and reporting incidents to social media platforms

Our advice to fans who receive hurtful or abusive comments is not to engage directly with those accounts but instead to first report the post to the relevant social media platform following the relevant link below and then to block the user from any further contact.

Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/help/181495968648557/
Twitter - https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security#sensitive-content
Instagram - https://help.instagram.com/contact/383679321740945

Snapchat - https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/i-need-help
TikTok - https://support.tiktok.com/en/privacy-safety/report-inappropriate-content-default

Reporting incidents to the Club

We would also encourage supporters to report any incidents witnessed or seen on social media platforms that directly affect Brentford FC, staff, players or supporters via email: Report@brentfordfc.com, sharing details of the incident and screenshots of any offensive social media posts where possible. The Club will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and confirm if it intends to investigate this further.

Reporting incidents to the Police

If you have been a victim of a crime or you feel a crime has been committed through social media, this must be reported directly to the police.

If you want to report an incident via Twitter, you can send a direct message to the @MetCC account. (Please do not report it to the @MPSBrentford Twitter account).

You can set your browser to refuse cookies, to alert you when a website has set or accesses cookies, or you may refuse consent to some cookies. Note that if you refuse cookies some parts of our site or app may not function properly. You can find out more information about the cookies we use, see our COOKIE POLICY.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is put together in an aggregated and anonymous manner (so that it cannot be associated with any of your Identity and Contact Data or other personal data) and does not constitute personal data for legal purposes. For example, we may anonymise and aggregate your Profile Data or Technical Data with that of others and (a) use it for internal management purposes, (b) share it with current or prospective business partners, and (c) use it to target offers that are made to fans through the site.

Other than Health Data (see above), we do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data) except with your explicit consent.

How do we use your personal data, and what is our legal basis for doing so ?

These are the legal bases we have for holding and processing your personal data:

Contract: To enter into or perform a contract with you
Legitimate Interest: For our (or third parties’) legitimate interests, as long as they aren’t overridden by your interests and rights
Consent: Your consent
Obligation: To comply with our legal obligations

And here is how we use your personal data, and our relevant legal basis (Our basis) for doing so:

If you register with or make a purchase from us, you provide us with Identity and Contact Data. That Identity and Contact Data may be supplemented over time with other information, such as Transaction Data, Health Data and additional or updated Identity and Contact Data. We use this information to maintain your registration with our site and administer our relationship with you. Our basis: Contract and Legitimate Interest (to remind you of the lapse or impending lapse of your registration, membership or season ticket).

If you purchase a ticket, membership, season ticket, or any other product or service from us, we will use your Identity and Contact Data and Payment Data (and sometimes prior Transaction Data) to process the purchase, deliver it to you, receive payment for it, process any refund that may be owed to you and tell you about other related products and services. Our basis: Contract and Legitimate Interest (to receive payment of sums owed to us and to advise our customers how to maximise the value of their purchases). [Note that we do not store your complete Payment Data – this is held by payment service providers. We do, however, store the last four digits of your payment card number, which are retained to assist in the resolution of queries concerning payments.]

We will also use Identity and Contact Data, Payment Data and Transaction Data to monitor purchases with the objective of helping to prevent fraud. Our basis: Legitimate Interest (fraud-prevention).

When dealing with us about your visit to our stadium or another a venue, you may provide Health Data, which is used to help ensure your safety. Our basis: Contract, Obligation and protection of your vital interests.

From time to time, you may participate in a survey or provide us with feedback or otherwise engage with us in ways that, in combination with other data we hold, may be included in your Profile Data. In using the site, we and our service providers will also collect Technical Data. We use Profile Data and Technical Data to make our products and services, including our site, better and more relevant to you, and to enable us to create content that is more suited to you and send you more relevant communications. Our basis: Legitimate Interest (making our products and services and their marketing more specific to you).

Where you opt to receive marketing communications from Brentford Football Club, we will use your relevant Marketing and Communications Data to communicate that marketing to you. Our basis: Consent and Legitimate Interest (marketing our products and services to you).

We retain records of our financial transactions and contracts with you in order to maintain adequate accounting records and meet legal requirements. Our basis: Obligation.

We will use your Marketing and Communications Data and Identity and Contact Data to keep you informed of important changes to our relationship with you, such as by notifying you of changes to this Privacy Policy. Our basis: Contract, Obligation and Legitimate Interest (in maintaining a compliant relationship with you).

We will only use your personal data for the above purposes, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

Whom will we share your personal data with ?

We will share your personal data with various third parties, but always for the uses referred to above. These third parties are businesses that provide services such as:

Ticketing services
Payment services
Mailing and delivery services
Website hosting
Messaging and SMS push communications services
Social media platforms
Online and offline marketing services
Research and profiling services
Retailers
Official Brentford FC Club Partners
Football governing bodies and competition organisers – the English Premier League and Football Association

We may also share your personal data with others where to do so is mandated by applicable law.

Your Marketing and Communications Data will only be shared with a third party for the purpose of them directly marketing to you where you have consented to that marketing.

If we transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to a country that does not provide a similar level of legal protection to that provided by the United Kingdom’s data protection laws, we put in place legally appropriate safeguards to require the protection of your personal data. You can request details of those safeguards by contacting our INFORMATION OFFICER.

How long will be keep your personal data for ?

We keep your personal data for as long as is necessary:

for Our basis as specified in this Privacy Policy, and
to address relevant legal, tax or accounting requirements, including potential claims by and against us

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of that data, the purposes for which we process it, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as legal, taxation and accounting requirements.

You can request more details of how we apply these criteria by contacting our INFORMATION OFFICER. When the need to keep your personal data ends, we either delete or anonymise it.

How do we keep your personal data secure ?

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your legal rights

Under the law, you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of your personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete your personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; or (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data, or to profiling by means of your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact our INFORMATION OFFICER by email. You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your legal rights as specified above. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the relevant personal data (or to exercise any of your other legal rights). This is a security measure we take to help avoid your personal data being disclosed to a person who has no right to receive it.

We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to help speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Contacting us

We have appointed an Information Officer who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact our Information Officer using the details set out below.

Brentford FC Charity Policy

Brentford Football Club will only accept charity requests that come in writing on headed charity notepaper or with an accompanying letter from the appropriate charity. Brentford FC receives dozens of requests every month for tickets or merchandise to raise funds for charity.

The Club is committed to working with the local community, in partnership with Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, and supporting charities wherever possible. However, due to the number of requests received, it is not possible to answer every request in a positive manner. The Club identifies a number of key charities to support at the start of each season and it may not be possible to support others not on that list.

Signed merchandise such as shirts are also given but these are very limited in number and only available at certain times of year. Priority is given to local charities and to Brentford supporters performing acts for charity. It is not possible to facilitate bespoke signed products.

A letter requesting support should include as many details as possible about the charity and what assistance the Club can provide. The Club will try to reply to all requests but not all will be successful. A request is likely to be turned down if it is not from a local charity or organisation, if the charity or organisation has already had support from the Club in the past 12 months or if the Club’s limit on charitable donations in a particular period has been reached.

Requests should be sent via email to supporterservices@brentfordfc.com

Brentford FC will allow a small number of charity bucket collections at the Gtech Community Stadium - these must be pre-arranged and agreed with the Club.

It is not possible to give away merchandise and souvenirs but a wide selection is available to purchase here.
