We may also receive basic technical or engagement information from our website or advertising platforms, such as website visits, advert interactions, form submissions and page engagement.

How we collect information

We may collect information through:

  • Forms on our website

  • Google Forms

  • Meta lead forms on Facebook or Instagram

  • Instagram direct messages and comments

  • Facebook Page messages and comments

  • Email enquiries

  • Website analytics or advert tracking, where enabled

  • Understand what kind of spaces, layouts and set-ups people may need

  • Contact people about permanent vendor spaces, pop-up opportunities, shared plots, events, collaborations or private hire enquiries

We do not sell personal information.

Social media messages, comments and enquiry management

We use Meta's Facebook and Instagram services to receive and respond to messages, comments and other communications sent to our business accounts.

We may use authorised integrations to help us organise these communications. This may involve information from an incoming Facebook or Instagram message or comment being passed securely to our enquiry-management tools so that we can review it and decide whether any action is needed.

Not every social media interaction is treated as a business lead. We review communications before deciding whether they should be added to our main enquiry or lead records.

We may use automated tools to route, organise or flag incoming communications, but we do not use these tools to make solely automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

Our lawful basis for using your information

We use your information where we have a legitimate interest in:

  • Responding to enquiries

  • Reviewing applications

  • Managing communications

  • Planning and operating the business

  • Communicating with people who have shown an interest in The Tackhouse or The Overloft

Where you apply for a vendor space, pop-up space, hire opportunity or another service, we may also use your information where this is necessary to take steps before entering into an agreement with you.

If we ask you to join a mailing list or receive general marketing updates, we will only send those where we have a suitable lawful basis to do so. You can ask us to stop sending these at any time.

Who we share information with

We may use trusted service providers to help us collect, transmit, store and manage enquiries and communications.

These may include:

  • Website hosting and form providers

  • Google Forms and Google Workspace

  • Meta, including Facebook and Instagram

  • Make, which we may use to securely route information between our business communication tools

  • Email providers

  • Payment, booking or business-management tools, where relevant

  • Professional advisers, such as accountants or solicitors, where needed

For example, an incoming Facebook or Instagram communication may be received through Meta, processed through an authorised Make integration, and recorded in a Google Workspace spreadsheet used by us to manage communications.

These service providers process information on our behalf or provide the platforms through which you communicate with us. They may also process certain information independently under their own privacy policies and terms.

We only share or process information where it is reasonably necessary for running the business, responding to enquiries, managing applications, maintaining records or meeting legal and accounting requirements.

International data transfers

Some of the technology providers we use, including Meta, Google and Make, may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we rely on the safeguards and transfer mechanisms used by those providers in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

How long we keep information

We only keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it.

For general enquiries, social media communications, vendor interest forms and pop-up applications, we may keep relevant details for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless there is a clear reason to keep them for longer.

Routine social media interactions that do not become enquiries or business leads may be reviewed and deleted sooner.

If someone becomes a vendor, hirer, supplier or business contact, we may keep relevant records for longer so we can manage the relationship and meet legal, tax or accounting requirements.

Your rights

You have rights over your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you

  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information

  • Ask us to delete information

  • Ask us to restrict how we use your information

  • Object to how we use your information

  • Withdraw consent, where consent is the lawful basis for processing

You can contact us at thetackhouseneepsend@gmail.com if you want to exercise any of these rights.

Deleting your data

You can ask us to delete personal information we hold about you, including information collected through Facebook or Instagram communications.

To make a deletion request, email:

thetackhouseneepsend@gmail.com

Please include enough information for us to identify the relevant communication or account, such as your name, Instagram username, Facebook name or the email address you used to contact us.

We will review the request and delete information where we are required or able to do so, subject to any legal or legitimate reason we may need to retain certain records.

Deleting information from our own records does not necessarily delete information held independently by Facebook, Instagram, Google or another platform provider. You may need to use the relevant platform's own privacy or account controls for information held directly by them.

Your right to object

You have the right to object to us using your personal information in certain circumstances, including where we rely on legitimate interests.

If you object, we will consider your request and stop using your information unless we have a lawful reason to continue.

How we keep information safe

We take reasonable steps to keep personal information secure.

These measures include:

  • Using password-protected accounts

  • Limiting access to people who need the information

  • Using established service providers

  • Limiting third-party integrations to the business accounts and information needed for their intended purpose

  • Reviewing access to business systems and integrations where appropriate

No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable precautions appropriate to the information we hold.

Cookies and tracking

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to help the site work, understand how people use it, or measure the performance of adverts.

If we use analytics, Meta Pixel or similar tracking tools, they may collect information about how people interact with our website and adverts. This helps us understand what is working and improve our communications.

We will update this policy if our use of cookies, analytics or advertising tools changes significantly.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this policy when our services, systems or use of personal information change.

The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was most recently updated.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how we use your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator for data protection.
