Privacy policy

This policy explains what personal information the Controlled Football Network collects through this website, why we collect it and what your rights are. It was last updated on [DATE].

Who we are

This website is run by [LEGAL NAME OF THE ORGANISATION], trading as the Controlled Football Network (“we”, “us”). We are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy.

• Address: [POSTAL ADDRESS]
• Email: [CONTACT EMAIL]

What we collect

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us through the “Get in touch” form:

• your name
• your email address
• your town or area
• what you are interested in (for example, playing or starting a session)
• anything you write in the message box.

When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically records technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you view. This is used to keep the site secure and working, and is not used to identify you.

How we use it

We use the information you send us to:

• reply to your enquiry
• tell you about Controlled Football sessions, leagues or events in your area, where you have asked about them
• understand where interest in Controlled Football is growing, so we can plan new sessions.

We will not sell your information or share it with anyone for their own marketing.

Our lawful basis

Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and developing Controlled Football. If we send you news or updates by email, we will only do so with your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted service providers to run this website and handle enquiries:

• [HOSTING PROVIDER] – hosts this website and the server that emails form enquiries to our inbox. Enquiries are not stored on the website itself.
• Google Fonts – provides the typefaces used on this site. When a page loads, your browser connects to Google’s servers, which may log your IP address. See Google’s privacy policy.

These providers only process your information on our instructions. Where any of them stores data outside the UK, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place.

We may also pass your enquiry to a Controlled Football club or session organiser near you, but only if you have asked us to put you in touch.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to [24 MONTHS] after our last contact with you, then delete them. If you ask us to delete your information sooner, we will.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• ask us to correct anything that is wrong
• ask us to delete your information
• object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
• withdraw your consent to emails at any time.

To use any of these rights, email [CONTACT EMAIL]. We will reply within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
