Data Management & GMS Integration
This section outlines the technical administration of data and our integration with the RFU’s Game Management System (GMS) and Hampshire RFU.
The GMS Ecosystem: As an affiliated club, Vectis RFC does not host its own primary database for player registrations. Instead, we use the RFU’s GMS. Data entered into GMS is governed by the RFU’s data protocols. We pull necessary reports from this system to manage match-day squads and emergency contacts.
Data Security: We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data collected via this website (e.g., SSL encryption). Access to player data is restricted to "Need to Know" club officials—specifically the club management committee and age specific coaches and managers.
Data Transfers: As part of the Hampshire RFU Constituent Body (CB), certain data regarding player transfers, county trials, or disciplinary matters may be shared with Hampshire RFU officials to facilitate regional competition and governance.
