At Tread7, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly.

Tread7 is a community-led, alcohol-free running club that welcomes people of all abilities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect any personal information you provide when using our website or contacting us.

We may collect personal information that you choose to provide, including:

• Your name
• Email address
• Telephone number (if provided)
• Any information you include in a contact form or email
• Anonymous website usage information through cookies or website analytics

You are under no obligation to provide personal information unless you choose to contact us.

We only use your information to:

• Respond to your enquiries
• Provide information about Tread7 if you have requested it
• Improve our website and user experience
• Communicate with you about future runs or events where you have asked us to do so

We will never sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We process your information under one or more of the lawful bases set out in the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), including:

• Your consent
• Our legitimate interests in operating Tread7 and responding to enquiries
• Compliance with legal obligations where applicable

Our website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience and to understand how visitors use the site.

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure and only retain it for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Request that we delete your personal information
• Withdraw your consent where applicable
• Object to certain types of processing
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use trusted third-party services such as website hosting, analytics or mapping services. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please contact us using the contact details provided on this website.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with the updated revision date.

As Tread7 grows, I'd also recommend adding three other pages:

• Terms of Participation – making it clear that everyone runs at their own risk, should be fit enough to take part, and should follow instructions from volunteers.
• Safeguarding & Inclusion Policy – setting out your commitment to providing a welcoming, respectful environment for everyone.
• Code of Conduct – a simple page explaining expectations such as being respectful, inclusive, supportive, and not attending under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Those four documents together (Privacy Policy, Terms of Participation, Safeguarding & Inclusion, and Code of Conduct) will give Tread7 a professional foundation while staying true to its community ethos.
