This page explains what happens to your personal data when you use this website — fottp.org.uk — and covers the same ground a “cookie policy” usually would, since there’s very little to say on that front. It doesn’t cover the charity’s other, non-website record-keeping (such as paper or email records kept for its own administration), which is handled separately.
Friends of Telford Town Park (FOTTP) — a registered charity in England & Wales, no. 1219196 — is the “data controller” for the information described here.
What we collect, and why
The only personal data this website collects is what you choose to give us through its two forms — Contact Us and Become a Member: your name, your email address, and whatever you write in the message box. Each form asks you to explicitly agree before it will submit, so this is collected with your consent, given at the point you tick the box and send it.
We use it only to reply to you, or to get in touch about membership — nothing else. It is never used for marketing, never sold, and never shared with anyone beyond what’s described below.
How your information is handled
Submitting a form sends your details straight from your browser to a small server we run ourselves, hosted in the UK, which emails it on to the relevant volunteer and doesn’t otherwise keep a copy. That email is sent through Fastmail — the same provider that already runs the charity’s own email and this site’s domain, not a new third party — to an address that isn’t published anywhere, so the volunteer actually responsible for it can change over time without any change needed here. FOTTP doesn’t store a copy of your submission on its own systems beyond that. More on why we built it this way, and the site’s other technical choices, is on our How This Website Works page.
How long we keep it
We keep what you send us for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, or for as long as you remain an active member or volunteer — after that, it’s deleted.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you can ask to see what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To do any of these, or if you have any other question about your data, please contact us.
Cookies and tracking
This website uses no cookies, no visitor tracking, and no analytics of any kind — nothing is stored in your browser to identify you or follow your visit, so there’s no cookie banner to click through. There are no third-party scripts or content-delivery networks on the site beyond the hosting platform itself.
Changes to this page
We may update this page from time to time; like everything else on the site, its history is kept in version control, so any change can be reviewed. If you have questions about any of this, please get in touch.
