Collection and use of personal data

We do not collect personal data as a result of merely viewing the DN website. However, if you decide to take part in certain services of the website (such as the Forum or as a content editor) then we may ask you to create an account. This requires the collection of name and email information.

1. Allow natural operation and administration of the website, including contacting you.

3. Publish it where the personal data has been collected for that purpose (such as the Forum, the index of businesses or on club pages).

We will treat your personal data with care. We will correct or remove personal data on request to editor@deddingtonnews.co.uk.

We will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
