Who we are
This policy covers shortwoodutd.com, the official website of Shortwood United Football Club, Meadowbank, Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please get in touch via our Contact page.
What information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us. This includes:
- Your name and contact details if you use our contact form or email us directly
- Sponsor details (name, and optionally a business link) if you or your business sponsors the club or a match ball
- Basic, non-identifying visit data automatically recorded by our hosting provider, such as browser type and pages visited
How we use it
We use the information you give us only for the purpose you gave it to us for - for example, replying to a message sent through our contact form, or crediting a sponsor on the site. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies
This site uses a small amount of local browser storage to remember simple preferences, such as whether you prefer the light or dark theme. This is stored only on your own device and is not used to track you across other websites.
Pages on this site that embed third-party content (such as an embedded shop or social media post, where used) may set their own cookies, governed by that third party's own policy rather than ours.
How long we keep information
We keep contact form messages and sponsor details for as long as they remain relevant to the club's activities, and remove them on request - see "Your rights" below.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to tell you what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Contact us via the Contact page and we'll action your request as quickly as we can.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change too. We'd encourage checking back here occasionally if you have concerns.
