Privacy

Heads Up Penarth is a small, independent what’s-on site for Penarth. This page says what we collect when you use it, and why. Questions: [email protected].

Counting visits

We use Google Analytics to count visits, so we know which listings people find useful and how they reach the site. It tells us things like which pages were opened, roughly which town a visit came from, the kind of device, which links to organisers were clicked and what was searched for on the Beyond Penarth page. We only ever see totals, never who you are.

• Advertising features, Google signals and sharing data with Google for its own purposes are all switched off.
• Google Analytics keeps two small cookies on your device (_ga and _ga_GBB9495FZH) for up to two years, so a return visit is not counted as a new visitor. Visit data is kept for 14 months.
• We don’t count robots, or anyone whose browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal.

Rather not be counted? Press the button and this browser won’t be counted again; the Analytics cookies are removed. Do it once on each device you use.

The Saturday email

If you sign up, your email address is kept by Kit, the service that sends the email, and used only for that. You confirm by email before anything is sent, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. Kit’s own privacy notice is at kit.com/privacy.

Sending us an event or a tip

What you type in the forms, and any photo of a poster you add, goes to the project’s Google account (a spreadsheet and a Google Drive folder) so we can check it and add it to the listings. Your email address is optional, never published, and used only if we need to check the details with you.

Other things the page loads

The fonts come from Google Fonts, and some event pictures load from the organisers’ own websites, so those services see that a page was opened. Links to organisers and ticket sites take you to their sites, which have their own privacy notices.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how it is used: write to [email protected]. If you are unhappy with how we handle it, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
