PERSONAL DATA USE
We do not share any personal data with third party organisations.
We will process your personal data to:
1. Keep the site secure and problem-free
How:
Our web hosting provider keeps logs of connections to this site so that we can detect and prevent malicious activity. The logs contain your IP address (which can reveal your geographical location), the date and time of your connection, the pages you’ve visited in what order and for how long, and the browser you’re using (which can reveal the device you’re using as well). We make no use of this data on an individual level unless the traffic looks like an attack, in which case we will block the connection.
Site traffic logs are kept for 3 months then deleted. If we’re investigating suspicious activity then we’ll keep the traffic logs for the time period until the investigation is over.
Why:
It’s in our interest – and yours – that your village website is secure and working properly, so this processing of personal data is done on the basis of legitimate interests.
2. Respond to ‘Contact us’ requests
How:
When you use a ‘Contact Form’ to get in touch, the data is sent to us automatically by email from the web server. The data stays on the web server for a month in case the email service is interrupted, then is deleted automatically.
Why:
It’s useful for both us and you, that we respond quickly and easily to enquiries, so this processing of personal data is done on the basis of legitimate interests. The website is served over https and so any information sent is encrypted.
