Privacy Policy

Places to Play ("we", "us") is an independent directory and acts as the data controller for personal data processed through this website. You can reach us via our contact page. This policy explains what limited data is processed when you visit, and your rights.

The data we process

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not knowingly collect personal information you don't choose to give us. If you email us, we process the contact details and message you send, only to reply and to fix any correction you report. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics may process limited technical data (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) to keep the site secure and understand aggregate usage.

Cookies and advertising

This site uses cookies, including from advertising and analytics partners. In particular we use Google AdSense to show advertising; Google and its partners may use cookies and device identifiers to serve and measure ads. You can control non-essential cookies through the consent options on the site. For full detail see our Cookies page and Google's own "How Google uses information from sites that use its services".

Legal basis & your rights (UK GDPR)

For visitors in the United Kingdom and the EEA, we process data in line with the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Non-essential cookies are used only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. You have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data and to object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Data sharing & retention

We do not sell your personal data. Data may be processed by our service providers (hosting, security, analytics and advertising partners) purely to operate the site, and may be processed outside the UK where those providers are located, with appropriate safeguards. We keep correspondence only as long as needed to deal with your query.

Children

Our content is aimed at parents and carers, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time; the current version always appears on this page.
