Introduction

Friends of Stamford Park (‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) is a volunteer group dedicated to supporting and improving Stamford Park in Trafford, Greater Manchester alongside the owner and manager of the park, Trafford Council. We are not a registered charity or CIC, but operate as a community not-for profit volunteer organisation.

This privacy notice explains how we collect, use, and protect any personal information you provide to us, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and only collect the minimum personal information necessary.

Information we collect

The only personal information we collect through this website is what you voluntarily provide when using our contact form (or by emailing us directly).

This typically includes:

- Your name

- Your email address

- Any additional information you include in your message (e.g. phone number or details about your enquiry)

We do not collect any other personal data through the website. We do not use analytics tools that track visitors, and we do not place cookies that collect personal information (please check our cookie banner or settings if applicable).

How we use your information

We will use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry or message. For example:
