Privacy policy and cookie usage

Who we are

This website is run by Easingwold Community Hub, a community space at The Trading House, Market Place, Easingwold, York YO61 3AA. You can contact us by email at communityhub@easingwold.gov.uk.

What personal data we collect

This website does not collect or store personal information directly. When you click an email link, your own email programme opens and you choose what to send us. When you book an event, you leave this website and use Bookwhen, which has its own privacy policy and booking process.

How we use your data

If you email us, we will use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry and manage your request. We do not use your details for marketing unless you explicitly agree to it.

Cookies

When you first visit the site we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary cookies is set until you choose to allow it. We group cookies into four categories:

• Strictly necessary — a first-party cookie named ech_cookie_consent that stores your choice for 12 months, plus cookies needed to keep the site secure and working. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics & performance — Google Analytics (cookies beginning_ga) records anonymous information about the pages you visit. Off unless you opt in.
• Marketing & advertising — used to measure or target advertising. We do not currently run any advertising cookies, and this category is off unless you opt in.
• Functional / personalization — remembers preferences so parts of the site can be tailored to you. Off unless you opt in.

Our event booking calendar is provided by Bookwhen. When you view the calendar or click through to book, Bookwhen may set its own cookies to keep the booking system working securely.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie settings link, which also appears in the footer of every page. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Find out more at aboutcookies.org.

Third-party services

The website uses Google Fonts for typography and may link to Facebook and Bookwhen. These services may collect anonymous usage data in line with their own privacy policies. We do not receive that data from them.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law and GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to ask for your data to be moved to another service. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been misused.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
