What we collect

• Messages you send us: when you use the contact form we receive the name, email address and message you provide.
• Function room enquiries: when you send an enquiry we receive your name, email address, phone number, the date and type of event you are interested in, and any details you add.
• Website usage information: only if you accept analytics cookies. This includes pages viewed, approximate location (from your IP address), device and browser type. See our cookie policy for details.

Please do not send us sensitive information, such as health details or information about children, through the general contact or enquiry forms.

Why we use it

• To reply to your message or enquiry and to arrange any booking or membership.
• To keep a record of enquiries and bookings for club administration.
• To understand which pages are useful so we can improve the website.
• To meet our legal and safeguarding obligations where they apply.

Our lawful basis

We rely on legitimate interests for replying to enquiries and running the club's administration, on consent for analytics cookies, and on legal obligation where we must keep or share information, for example for safeguarding or accounting purposes.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people find useful. The Google Analytics tag is only loaded after you click "Accept analytics" on our cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is sent.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the club and this website, such as our website hosting provider and Google for analytics, and with anyone we are legally required to inform. Our website provider stores the messages and enquiries you send securely on our behalf.

How long we keep it

Enquiries and bookings are kept for as long as we need them to arrange and administer the event, and then for a reasonable period for club records. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with them. Analytics data is retained by Google for the period set in our analytics settings.

Your rights

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to withdraw consent for analytics at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. To exercise any of these rights, contact the club secretary.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
