WHO WE ARE

Cefn Mawr Historical Society ("us", "we", or "our") operates the www.cefnmawrmuseum.org.uk website (the "Website"). You can contact us at any time via the contact form on our website.

WHY WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY

We value your privacy as much as we do our own, so we’re committed to keeping your personal and business information safe. We’re uncomfortable with the information companies, governments, and other organisations keep on file, so we ask for only the bare minimum from our customers. We’ll never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it, and we’ll never give anyone access to it unless we’re forced to by law.

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We ask for contact information including your name, email address, and phone number, on our website so that we can reply to your enquiry. The same information may be collected via a phone call or face-to-face meeting.

Occasionally, we might receive your contact information from a third-party referral source or partner organisation. If we do, we protect it in exactly the same way as if you give it to us directly.

Cookies: We use cookies on our website to help it to run effectively and provide the best user experience. Our site runs on Squarespace. You can read more about how Squarespace uses cookies on this page.

WHAT INFORMATION WE HOLD

  • When you contact us by email or through our website, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if you provide it), and the reason for your enquiry.
  • This information is securely stored, temporarily, in our email and contact management software, but deleted once the enquiry is complete.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION

When you contact us by email or through our website, we may store your information in our secure email and contact management software temporarily. Otherwise, your contact information is not stored, physically or electronically.

WHAT WE USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR

We do not use your information for any other purpose other than responding to enquiries.

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INFORMATION AT OUR COMPANY

The Vice Chair of the Society is responsible for the security of your information. You can contact the Vice Chair of the Society by email at enquiries@cefnmawrmuseum.org.uk if you have any concerns.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

The Vice Chair of the Society has access to the contact information you provide to us.

THE STEPS WE TAKE TO KEEP YOUR INFORMATION PRIVATE

Where we store your information in third-party services, access is restricted. We use a different password for each service, and never use the same password twice.

The devices we use are all encrypted and are protected by a secure password, passcode or fingerprint access. Our mobile devices are also protected by a passcode or fingerprint.

CHANGES TO THE POLICY

If we change the contents of this policy, those changes will become effective the moment we publish them on our website.
