Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: 9 August 2026

This policy explains how Newton-in-Bowland Village Hall ("we", "us") handles the personal information you give us when you use this website or send us a booking enquiry or message, and how we use cookies.

Who we are

Newton-in-Bowland Village Hall, Clitheroe, Lancashire. You can contact us about anything in this policy by email at newtoninbowlandvh@gmail.com.

The information we collect

When you complete a booking enquiry or contact form, we collect the details you choose to give us - typically your name, email address, phone number, and information about your enquiry or event.

How we use it

We use your details only to respond to your enquiry, arrange and manage a booking, and keep the necessary records of hall bookings and community matters. We don't use your details for marketing, and we never sell your personal data.

Who we share it with

Enquiries sent through this website are delivered to our inbox by Web3Forms, a form-handling service, purely so your message reaches the right volunteer. That's the only third party involved in handling your enquiry.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and booking records only for as long as we need them, after which they are deleted in the normal course of housekeeping.

Cookies

This website uses only the minimum cookies needed to function. We don't run advertising cookies.

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit the site and which pages they read. It doesn't tell us who you are. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in the banner shown on your first visit - if you decline, or ignore it, nothing is stored. You can change your mind by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

Some pages also embed content from other services - a Google Calendar showing hall availability, and our Facebook page feed on the home and news pages - and those services may set their own cookies under their own policies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to how we use it. To do so, contact us at newtoninbowlandvh@gmail.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

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