Privacy Policy

Introduction

Local Family Events (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Local Family Events website (the “Service”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Information We Collect

Contact Form Information

When you submit our contact form, we collect:

• Full name
• Email address
• Subject of inquiry
• Message content

Automatically Collected Information

When you use our Service, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage:

• Log data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referral URL)
• Device information (device type, operating system)
• Usage data (how you interact with our Service)
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies

Google Sign-In

If you choose Google sign-in, Google provides your account identifier, name and verified email address so we can create or authenticate your account. We store the Google account identifier linked to your website account, but not your Google password or Google access and refresh tokens. Signing in with Google does not subscribe you to marketing, enable analytics, or grant advertiser access. Google also processes the sign-in under its own privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics, if enabled in our Google Tag Manager configuration, loads only after you accept analytics cookies. You can reject analytics or change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. You can also opt out by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for various purposes:

• To provide and maintain our Service
• To notify you about changes to our Service
• To respond to your inquiries and requests
• To gather analysis or valuable information to improve our Service
• To monitor the usage of our Service
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and fraud

Data Security

The security of your data is important to us. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Request restriction of processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@localfamilyevents.co.uk.

You can also submit an access, correction, erasure, portability, restriction, objection, or consent withdrawal request using our privacy request form.

Third-Party Services

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites and services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services before providing them with your personal information.

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics - for website analytics
• Google Sign-In - optional account authentication
• Resend - for email delivery
• Azure - for hosting and data storage

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information as quickly as possible. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at info@localfamilyevents.co.uk.

Cookies

Necessary cookies support core site functions, including authentication and remembering your cookie choice. Optional analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics cookies, are disabled unless you accept analytics. You can reject analytics or withdraw your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer; withdrawing consent clears the configured first-party analytics cookies.

Your cookie choice is stored so we can respect it on later visits. Browser settings can also be used to remove cookies, but this may affect sign-in and other necessary site functions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
