Carp Addict Socials

We respect your privacy. Simple as that. We’ll only collect what we need to run Carp Addict Socials properly, and we won’t do anything daft with your data.

This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it — no waffle.

1. Who We Are

Carp Addict Socials organises carp fishing socials and exclusive lake bookings for anglers.

2. What Information We Collect

We only collect the basics we actually need, such as:

    • 1. Your name

    • 2. Email address

    • 3. Phone number

    • 4. Booking details (which social you’ve booked, dates, payments)

    • 5. Messages or enquiries you send us

We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 16, and we’re not interested in anything we don’t need.

3. How We Collect Your Information

We collect information when you:

    • 1. Book onto a Carp Addict Social

    • 2. Fill in a contact or enquiry form

    • 3. Sign up for updates

    • 4. Email, message, or contact us directly

    • 5. Use our website (basic analytics and cookies — nothing creepy)

4. What We Use Your Information For

Your data is used to:

1. Manage bookings and run socials

2. Contact you about your booking

3. Answer enquiries

4. Send updates you’ve opted into

5. Improve the website and how we do things

We will never sell your data. Ever!

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process your data because:

1. We need it to run the event you’ve booked

2. It’s in our legitimate interest to run and improve Carp Addict Socials

3. You’ve given consent (e.g. for marketing emails)

4. We have a legal obligation (tax, accounts, the boring but necessary stuff)

6. Who We Share Your Data With

Only when necessary, and only with trusted services, such as:

1. Payment providers

2. Website hosting services

3. Accounting or legal providers

They only get what they need and must keep it secure.

7. How We Keep Your Data Safe

We take reasonable steps to keep your data safe and secure.

Access is limited to those who actually need it — not everyone and definitely not random people.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

We don’t keep data forever:

1. Booking and payment records: up to 6 years (legal requirement)

2. Enquiries: up to 12 months

3. Marketing info: until you unsubscribe (no hard feelings)

9. Your Rights

You’ve got rights — and we respect them.

You can:

1. Ask to see your data

2. Ask us to correct it

3. Ask us to delete it

4. Object to how it’s used

5. Withdraw consent at any time

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if needed (but we’d rather you came to us first).

10. Cookies

We use cookies to help the website work properly and see what’s being used.

You can disable cookies in your browser if you want — the site will still work fine.

11. Third-Party Links

If we link to other websites, they have their own privacy policies. We’re not responsible for what they do over there.

12. Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we’ll update this page. No sneaky changes.
