What this version of the site does
- The site has no forms or accounts. If you email us at info@aboutealing.com, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write. Messages go to Web Designer Limited and are read by its director, George Morina. We use them only to reply to you and to deal with any correction you send. We keep a message only as long as we need it to reply and to deal with any follow-up, then delete it, at the latest 12 months after your last message. We never sell, license or share your message or email address with anyone, and we never add you to a mailing list. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: answering the messages people send us. The search box works entirely inside your browser: the words you search for are not sent to us and do not appear in the web address, so they are not in the server logs described below.
- It sets no cookies and uses no local storage or similar browser storage. Your language choice is never stored.
- It has no analytics, no adverts and no third-party scripts, fonts, maps or embeds.
- If we add visit counts later, they will be cookieless, with no personal profile, and this page will say so first.
What we collect, and for how long
We collect only what we need. Please do not send sensitive details about yourself or anyone else, such as health, religion or immigration status. The site is for adults and group representatives.
| Data | Why | Lawful basis (UK GDPR) | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emails to info@aboutealing.com (email address, name if given, message) | To read and reply | Legitimate interests: answering messages | Only as long as needed to reply and deal with any follow-up; deleted at the latest 12 months after your last message |
| Listing or event submissions (group details, submitter's name and email, proof of authority) | To check, publish and keep a listing correct, and to contact the group about it | Legitimate interests: running a free community directory the group asked to join | While the listing is live plus 12 months, then deleted. Rejected or withdrawn submissions: 6 months, then deleted |
| Corrections and takedown requests | To act on them and keep a record | Legitimate interests (and legal obligation where a legal claim is involved) | 2 years, with personal data removed from the public log |
| Newsletter email address, if a newsletter ever launches | To send a weekly “what's on” email | Consent | Until you unsubscribe, then deleted (except a minimal record so we do not email you again) |
| Server and security logs (IP address, time, page) | To keep the site working and secure | Legitimate interests | We do not keep our own copies of these logs. Cloudflare keeps this network log data for a limited period of time. It does not publish a fixed period for hosting a static website, and we cannot change it. |
Who processes data for us
Cloudflare provides our hosting, and email routing for info@aboutealing.com, which forwards messages to a Google Gmail inbox. It acts as our processor. Where data is handled outside the UK, Cloudflare relies on the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, if that is not available, on standard contractual clauses. Google also acts as our processor for that inbox and relies on the same safeguards. We will name any other form, mail or newsletter provider here before we use it.
If we add a form later, we will update this page first, including any spam check and anything it stores in your browser.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, erase or restrict your data, object to how we use it, or complain. To make a request about your data, email info@aboutealing.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
