This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect any personal data that you provide when using the Hereward Hits website.
Please read this policy carefully to understand how we handle your personal information. By using this website, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018, the data controller is:

How We Collect Information
Some areas of our website allow you to submit information voluntarily in order to use certain features, such as:
- Participating in online polls
- Contacting the studio
- Submitting information through the “Join Us” page
At each point where information is collected, we will make it clear which information is required and which is optional.
Some of the information you provide may be personal data, such as:
- Your name
- Email address
- Telephone number
We only collect personal information when you choose to provide it.
In addition, some information is collected automatically through technologies such as IP addresses and cookies. These methods help us understand how our website is used but do not normally identify you personally.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) which allows you to access the internet.
In most cases, IP addresses are dynamic and change each time you connect to the internet. For this reason, they are generally considered non-personally identifiable information.
Data Transmission
Please note that the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure.
While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website. Any transmission is therefore at your own risk.
Once we receive your information, we use appropriate security procedures and safeguards to prevent unauthorised access.

- To ensure our website content is displayed effectively for your device.
- To improve and develop the content and functionality of our website.
