Hello Formby is an independent local website run from Formby. We collect as little personal data as possible.

What we collect

  • Reading the site: nothing personal, unless you consent to analytics — see the cookie policy. Analytics data is aggregated and not used to identify anyone.
  • Contacting us: whatever you include in your message, used only to reply.
  • Trader accounts: your name, email, business details and advertising history, used to provide the advertising service. Payments are processed by our payment provider and card details never touch our servers.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and complain to the ICO. Contact us via the contact page for any of these.
