Summary of how ATP Media uses your data.
- ATP Media processes player data as part of its coverage of the ATP Tour and its associated tournaments. This includes footage, photographic images and statistical information about you and your performance created as part of our coverage and collected about you by ATP and tournament organisers or from publicly available sources. It may also include written content created to include on ATP Media sites and applications, or to be shared with third parties.
- ATP Media will particularly use player data to commercially distribute its coverage of the ATP Tour, including providing footage and statistical information directly to ATP, the media, betting operators and to consumers. ATP Media will also use player data as necessary to help promote its coverage and to create content for its sites and services.
- ATP Media may process some limited sensitive personal data as part of its coverage, for example if footage captures a player’s injury. If this occurs, this is processed due this being manifestly made public by the player. Such processing will also be permitted due to ATP Media’s journalistic and artistic purposes.
- Player data will be shared widely in order to distribute coverage and to promote the game. This will include transfers of information worldwide. These transfers are permitted on the basis of ATP Media’s journalistic and artistic purposes.
- Our player privacy notice sets out more details of your data protection rights, including your right to object to certain processing.
What does this notice cover?
This notice describes how ATP Media Operations Limited (“ATP Media”) will make use of your data as a player in the ATP Tour and its associated tournaments. This notice also describes your data protection rights, including a right to object to some of the processing that ATP Media carries out. More information about your rights, and how to exercise them, is set out in the “What rights do I have?” section.
What information does ATP Media collect?
ATP Media collects and processes personal data about players as part of its coverage of the ATP Tour. This includes the collection and generation of player data in filmed footage and photographic images, graphic and statistical data captured by ATP Media and its production partners such as Hawk-Eye when players are competing and when players participate in interviews and ATP promotional events. We may also collect your data where you correspond with us or send us complaints.
What information is provided by third parties?
We may receive information from third parties such as ATP and tournaments, particularly the sharing of statistical and biographic data they collect from you on registration form and whilst you participate in ATP Tour events and matches. We may also collect information about you from publicly available sources for use in our news content.
How does ATP Media use this information, and what is the legal basis for this use?
ATP Media will use this information for the following purposes:
- As required by ATP Media to conduct its business and pursue its legitimate interests, in particular:
- commercially distributing its coverage of the ATP Tour, including providing footage, graphic, photographic and statistical information directly to ATP, the media, betting operators and to consumers directly through its direct services such as Tennis TV. To the extent this involves the processing of sensitive personal data such as information about injuries, this will be processed on the basis of the information being expressly made public by the player or because this processing is permitted for journalistic and artistic purposes;
- promoting ATP Media’s coverage and services and to create content for its sites and services;
- we will respond to correspondence and complaints received from players; and
- we will use and share data as necessary to protect our legal interests and to establish or defend ourselves from legal claims.
- For purposes which are required by law:
- in response to requests by government or law enforcement authorities conducting an investigation; and
- maintaining and sharing data as required by law, for example in complying with data protection rights of third parties where information relates to both parties.
How is data shared, where and when?
Player data is shared widely, with distributors and with members of the public as ATP Media or its broadcast partners publish and broadcast footage, images and other data. We may also share your data with ATP and tournaments, so that they can promote the ATP Tour and events, and share data with betting operators and members of the media for use in their products, content and services.
Personal data will also be handled by our third-party service providers, who will process it on behalf of ATP Media for the purposes identified above. This may include the providers of IT services, production companies and graphics companies.
Personal data of players will be transferred worldwide. The majority of these transfers are carried out for ATP Media journalistic and media purposes. Where this is not the case, and where information is transferred outside the UK, and where this is to a stakeholder or vendor in a country that is not considered adequate under UK law, data is adequately protected by the UK-approved data transfer agreement (or addendum) or a vendor’s Processor Binding Corporate Rules. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be provided for your review – you can ask for this using the contact details below.
What rights do I have?
You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine-readable format.
In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).
These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where it would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information that we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. Relevant exemptions are included in both the UK GDPR and in the Data Protection Act 2018. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.
To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us using the details set out below. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to a competent data protection authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office. We will always inform you where information you provide is mandatory.
How do I get in touch with ATP Media.

How long will you retain my data?
The personal data collected by ATP Media is typically retained indefinitely, given the journalistic and artistic interest in the coverage and content it produces.
