Privacy notice

Last updated: [DATE]. This notice should be reviewed and approved by the trustees before the website goes live.

Who we are

This website is run by the Goan Community Association (North London), registered charity 1082965, which manages the Goan Community Centre on Apple Tree Road, Tottenham, London N17 6SH. We are the data controller for the personal information described here. You can contact us about privacy at bookings@goancentre.org.

What we collect

When you send us a message through the contact form we collect your name, email address, phone number if you give it, the subject you choose and what you write. We do not ask for any sensitive information, so please do not include health or other personal details in your message.

When you book the hall we also keep the details on your booking form, such as your address and the date and type of your event.

Why we use it

We use your details only to reply to you, to manage hall bookings and activities you ask about, and to keep the Centre safe. Our lawful bases under UK GDPR are your consent, which you give by ticking the box on the form, and our legitimate interest in running the Centre. For hall bookings the basis is the contract between you and the Centre.

Who can see it

Only Centre staff and volunteers who need to answer your enquiry can see your message. We use a small number of trusted service providers to run this website:

• Cloudflare, which hosts the website, stores messages securely and checks that form submissions are not spam (Cloudflare Turnstile).
• [EMAIL PROVIDER, for example Resend], which delivers a copy of your message to our inbox.

We never sell your information or use it for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep contact form messages for [12 months] and then delete them. Hall booking records are kept for [6 years] for accounting purposes.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw your consent at any time by emailing bookings@goancentre.org. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookie policy

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies, and it does not use Google Analytics or social media trackers. Our fonts are stored on our own website, so visiting us does not send your details to Google.

Cloudflare Turnstile, the spam check on our contact form, may store a small amount of information in your browser that is strictly necessary to tell people apart from automated bots. Staff who sign in to the admin area receive a sign in cookie from Cloudflare Access. Because these are strictly necessary, we do not need to ask for your consent to use them.
