Your privacy matters.
A clear first-pass explanation of how Social Chess UK handles personal information.
Who we are
Social Chess UK creates and promotes real-world social chess nights, initially in Reading. This notice explains how Social Chess UK handles personal information collected through this website and related enquiries.
Information we may collect
We may collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, town or city, enquiry details, accessibility requirements and the content of messages you send.
The website may also collect limited technical information needed for security and reliable operation, such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages visited and the time of a visit.
How we may use information
We may use information to answer enquiries, provide requested support, share relevant information about Social Chess nights, understand where there is interest in future events, improve the website and protect it from misuse.
We will only send marketing communications where we have an appropriate legal basis, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
Cookies and analytics
The website may use essential cookies or similar technology where needed for core operation and security. If optional analytics or marketing tools are introduced, this notice and any consent controls will be updated before they are used.
Sharing and retention
We do not sell personal information. We may use trusted service providers to host the website, deliver communications or support our operations. They may only process information for the agreed purpose and subject to appropriate safeguards.
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting and security requirements.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights over your personal information, including asking for access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.
