London Social Clubs

This policy explains what personal data London Social Clubs ("we", "us") collects, why, and what your rights are. For the purposes of UK data protection law we are the data controller. If you have any questions, email shorekey.apps@protonmail.com.

What we collect

Club listings. When you submit a club we collect the club's details (name, description, area, links). This information is published on the site.
Your contact details. The name and email you give when submitting a club. These are not published - we use them only to contact you about your listing.
Technical data. We temporarily record IP addresses to rate-limit submissions and protect the site from spam and abuse.

Why we use it and our legal basis

To run and display the directory - our legitimate interests in operating the service.
To contact you about your listing - to take steps at your request and our legitimate interests.
To prevent spam and abuse (IP addresses) - our legitimate interests in keeping the site secure.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data. We use trusted providers to run the site, who process data on our behalf:

Google Firebase (Firestore) - stores submissions and rate-limit records.
Vercel - hosts the website.

These providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) apply.

How long we keep it

Published listings and contact details - kept while the listing is live, and for a short period afterwards.
IP / rate-limit records - kept only briefly, then automatically removed.

Cookies

We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and browsing the site does not place any cookies on your device.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email shorekey.apps@protonmail.com and we'll respond within one month.

You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
