Contact Forms & Communication
What we collect
When you use the ‘Contact Us’ form on our website, we collect the personal data you enter (such as your name, email address, and message content) along with submission metadata (time of sending).
How we use it
This information is not stored in a public database on the website. Instead, it is emailed directly to a designated member of the Petersfield Men’s Shed committee. We use this data solely to respond to your enquiry, provide information about our activities, or manage your potential membership.
Legal Basis
We process this data under the legal basis of Legitimate Interest (it is necessary for us to use your contact details to answer the question you asked us) or Consent (where you have voluntarily provided information).
Cookies & Technical Data
Cookies
We do not use cookies on this website for general visitors. We do not have user accounts, advertising, or public comment sections; therefore, no cookies are set on your device when you view our pages.
Server Logs
While our website does not collect data, the hosting infrastructure and content delivery network that serves this website may automatically collect standard Server Log Data. This includes your IP address, browser type, and the pages you requested. This data is used strictly for server security (e.g., to prevent DDoS attacks) and technical diagnostics. It is not used for marketing or tracking your behaviour across the web.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, maps, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites (such as Google Maps or YouTube) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your data to third parties.
However, because our contact form sends an email, your message will be processed by:
- Our Web Hosting / Email Service Provider: To transmit and store the email message securely.
- Committee Members: Only authorised members of the Petersfield Men’s Shed access these emails to handle your enquiry.
Security
We take precautions to protect your data. This website uses a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate (indicated by the padlock icon in your browser) to ensure that the data you enter into the contact form is encrypted during transmission.
How long we retain your data
If you submit an enquiry via our contact form, the email correspondence is retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up communication, maintain a history of enquiries for administrative purposes, and manage ongoing memberships. We regularly review held data to ensure it is still accurate and necessary.
What rights you have over your data
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of any incorrect data.
- Request erasure of your personal data (the “right to be forgotten”).
- Object to processing of your data.
