Streatham.org is a local information website for Streatham, London. This Privacy Policy explains how Streatham.org collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit the website, contact us, submit a business, use community voting features or otherwise interact with the site.
1. Who we are
For the purposes of UK data protection law, the service responsible for the personal information described in this policy is Streatham.org.
Email: hello@streatham.org
Website: https://streatham.org/
2. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use Streatham.org, we may collect information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, business details and the contents of messages or submissions. We may also collect limited technical information generated when you use the site, such as browser information, device information, pages requested, approximate network information and security logs.
Where community voting or anti-abuse controls are used, Streatham.org may create pseudonymous technical identifiers derived from connection and browser information to help prevent duplicate voting, spam or misuse. These controls are intended to minimise the amount of personal information retained.
3. Contact, advertising and business submission forms
If you contact us, enquire about advertising or submit a business for inclusion in the Directory, we use the information you provide to respond to you, assess the submission, administer the website and, where appropriate, publish business information that is intended to be public.
Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your request.
4. Business listings and public information
Streatham.org may contain information about local businesses obtained from the business itself, public websites, public directories, map services and other publicly available sources. Business information may include business names, addresses, telephone numbers, websites, categories, opening information, ratings and other information intended for public use.
If you believe a business listing contains inaccurate personal information or should be corrected, contact hello@streatham.org.
5. Community voting
Streatham.org may allow visitors to recommend or vote on local businesses. We use limited technical controls to reduce duplicate voting and abuse. Votes may be used in community scores, rankings and Top Streatham features. We do not ask voters to publish their identity as part of a vote.
6. How we use personal information
We may use personal information to operate and secure the website; respond to enquiries; process submissions; maintain the Directory; manage advertising enquiries; prevent fraud, spam and abuse; understand how the website is used; comply with legal obligations; and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
7. Lawful bases
Under UK GDPR, the lawful basis depends on the purpose. We may rely on legitimate interests where necessary to operate, improve and protect a local community website; consent where the law requires it, including for certain cookies or similar technologies; contract where processing is necessary to provide something you have requested or agreed to; and legal obligation where we must process information to comply with the law.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
Streatham.org uses cookies and similar technologies for functions such as security, consent management and website operation. Non-essential technologies, including analytics or third-party services where applicable, are used only in accordance with the consent choices presented to you where consent is required.
For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
9. Third-party services and links
The site may use or link to services provided by third parties, including hosting, email delivery, mapping, business information, analytics and other website services. Those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Streatham.org is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that you visit through external links.
10. Sharing personal information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, where required by law, or where necessary to protect the rights, safety and security of Streatham.org, its users or others. Service providers are expected to use information only for the services they provide to us and in accordance with applicable law.
11. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will rely on an approved transfer mechanism or another lawful basis for the transfer.
12. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining business records, preventing abuse, resolving disputes and meeting legal requirements. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the reason it is held.
13. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
14. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to request access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise a privacy right, email hello@streatham.org. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
15. Complaints
If you have concerns about how we use personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Information about making a complaint is available at ico.org.uk.
16. Children
Streatham.org is a general local information service and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us.
