Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
Black Country Brass (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a voluntary community brass band based in the United Kingdom. This page explains how we handle any personal information collected through this website.
What information we collect
The only personal information we collect is what you voluntarily submit through our contact form.
How we use your information
We use the information you send us solely to respond to your enquiry. This may include responding to booking requests, providing information about joining the band, or replying to general messages.
We do not use your information for marketing, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes.
Our lawful basis for processing this information is legitimate interests — specifically, responding to people who choose to contact us.
How your information is stored
Contact form submissions are sent by email to a designated band member and may also be stored in our website’s database. Our website is hosted on a server located in the United Kingdom.
We are a small volunteer organisation and do not operate a formal data retention schedule. Submissions may be retained until deletion is requested (see below).
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorised access or disclosure.
Event photography
We may publish photos taken at our public events on this website. We do this on the basis of legitimate interests in documenting and promoting our performances. If you would like a photo of yourself removed, please contact us through this website.
