Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

1. Introduction

The Elemore Collective CIC ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our website. We process all personal data in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

2. The Data We Collect

To keep our data collection as minimal as possible, we only collect the information absolutely necessary for you to participate in our online community. When you register for an account on the Elemore Collective website, we collect only the following personal data:

• Your First Name and Surname
• Your Email Address

We do not collect sensitive personal data, physical addresses, or financial information.

3. How We Use Your Data

At present, your personal data is used exclusively for the purpose of granting, authenticating, and moderating your access to the community features within our website. This includes:

• Allowing you to leave comments on news posts and articles.
• Enabling you to use the reaction features on site content.
• Allowing you to submit reviews for the Elemore Park Cafe.
• Providing you with account security, password resets, and essential administrative notifications.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We do not use your email address for external marketing or newsletter campaigns.

4. Future Changes to Data Processing

There is no intention, at present, to use your personal data for anything other than the operational community features outlined in Section 3.

However, as the Elemore Collective grows, our digital offerings may evolve. This limitation on data usage may be subject to change in the future. In the event that we intend to process your personal data for a new purpose (such as an opt-in community newsletter), a new, updated Privacy Policy will be submitted and published. Where legally required under the UK and EU GDPR, we will seek your explicit renewed consent before any such changes take effect.

5. Data Security & Storage

Your data is stored securely in our site database. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, or alteration. User passwords are securely hashed using modern cryptographic standards and are never stored or readable in plain text.

6. Your GDPR Rights

Under the UK and EU GDPR, you are granted several fundamental rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request the deletion of your personal data and account from our systems.
• Restriction: Request that we restrict the processing of your data under certain conditions.
