We keep data collection to a minimum and handle your personal data openly. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what rights you have.
What data we collect and why
Contact and sign-up forms
Our contact form collects your name, email address, the reason for contact and your message. Our digital drop-in form collects your first name, email address and the topics you are interested in. If you tick the marketing option, we also record your consent to email you. We use these details only to reply to you, to run the sessions you sign up for, and, where you have opted in, to send you news about the Digital Repair Café. Form submissions are processed by StaticHost.uk , a UK privacy-first platform, and protected by the Altcha anti-spam widget. We do not use CAPTCHA services that track you, and we do not share your details with any unrelated third party.
Email updates
If you opt in to email updates, we keep your name and email address so we can send you news and event information about the Digital Repair Café. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to remove you at any time.
