3. Data We Handle

We do not collect or store personal data as a matter of course. The only personal data we handle is in connection with our mailing list.

Mailing List

We maintain a mailing list to keep supporters, attendees, and community members informed about Wilmslow Pride news and events. When you sign up to our mailing list, you are doing so knowingly and with a clear understanding of what you are subscribing to.

The only information we hold in connection with the mailing list is:

  • Your email address

  • Your name, if you choose to provide it

This data is held solely for the purpose of sending you updates and is not used for any other purpose.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process mailing list data on the basis of consent. You sign up to our mailing list voluntarily and with full awareness of what you are subscribing to.

You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly at hello@wilmslowpride.co.uk. Once you unsubscribe, your details will be removed from our mailing list promptly.

5. Photography and Video at Events

We may take photographs and video footage at Wilmslow Pride events for use in promotional materials, social media, and press coverage. Notices will be displayed at our events to make attendees aware that photography is taking place.

Event photography does not involve the systematic collection or storage of personal data. If you appear in published content and would like it removed, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

6. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. The only sharing that occurs is with our mailing list platform provider, who processes email addresses on our behalf solely for the purpose of sending our communications.

Our mailing list provider is required to handle your data securely and in compliance with UK data protection law.

7. Data Retention

We retain mailing list data for as long as you remain subscribed. When you unsubscribe, your details are removed from our active mailing list promptly. We do not archive or retain mailing list data beyond this.

8. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to any personal data we hold about you:

  • Right of Access – to request a copy of the data we hold about you

  • Right to Rectification – to ask us to correct inaccurate data

  • Right to Erasure – to ask us to delete your data

  • Right to Object – to object to us processing your data

  • Right to Withdraw Consent – to unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time

Given the limited data we hold, the most straightforward way to exercise most of these rights is simply to unsubscribe or contact us directly. We will respond to any request within one month.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):
