This notice explains how Hearthgrain Workshops collects, uses, and protects personal information in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Hearthgrain Workshops is an independent English project documenting small craft workshops. Our registered contact address is 27 Division Street, Sheffield S1 4GE, England. You can reach us by email at [email protected] or by phone at 441 114 739 862.
We collect only minimal personal data — typically names, email addresses, and optional messages provided through our online enquiry form. We do not collect financial details, cookies for advertising, or location tracking beyond standard web analytics that show anonymous visit counts.
We use your data solely to respond to messages, arrange workshop information updates, or handle technical support. We do not use data for marketing campaigns or share it with unrelated third parties.
Our lawful basis for processing is consent (when you submit a form) and legitimate interest (to maintain the website and answer requests). You can withdraw consent by emailing us at any time.
We retain correspondence for up to 12 months after the last contact, unless required longer for legitimate recordkeeping. Data related to public enquiries may be anonymised for statistical summaries before deletion.
We use standard web hosting and email infrastructure within the UK or EEA. Data may transit through secure servers operated by those providers. We ensure such providers comply with UK data protection law and maintain appropriate security standards.
We use only essential cookies to keep forms working and a basic analytics script that counts anonymous page visits. Full details are listed in our Cookie Details.
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict your personal data. You may also object to processing or request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please write to us at [email protected].
We maintain secure connections (HTTPS), limit access to authorised administrators, and periodically review stored data. We never sell or rent personal information.
Our site is directed at adults interested in craft workshops. We do not knowingly collect data from persons under 16 years of age.
This notice may be updated from time to time to reflect legal or operational changes. The most recent revision date appears at the bottom of this page.
If you believe your data has been misused, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
